Sarnie Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 to a driveway... well outside my bedroom window actually... Good work Quote
GC350z Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Am a fan of the 34 myself. Asking price is still ridiculous for an import 34 GTR even though production ended years ago. Guy Quote
Ian Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Im not fussy id take any GTR If I was given the choice id go for the R33. Agree about the prices on the R34 though id settle for a GTT i suppose Quote
GC350z Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 A mate changed his 32 for a 34 GTT last year. They cost nothing compared to the GTR. Looking at €70k here in Dublin. A few have been on sale here for years. Am seriously considering the new GTR. Quote

A few have been on sale here for years. Am seriously considering the new GTR. There is a guy who lives near me who bought a GTT last year for £10k, When I was looking at skylines last year it would cost me more to insure a GTT than a GTR but both quotes were rediculous anyway Quote

bernmc Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 Is that a 32 or 33? Guy 33 Yep its an R33-GTR. Spec list as long as your arm, 360BHP at the wheels running 1 bar on steel-internal turbos, so another 0.2-0.3 bar if I wanted it before having to move to forged rods. I've always wanted a skyline - one of my 'must own before I die' list! Was going to get another VR4, but thought I'd just *try* a drive in the skyline, and was hooked. I don't like the R32, and R34's are waaaaaaayyyyyy out of my price range. So this R33 it is. Roll on Thursday... better pack plastic seat covers - risk of peeing pants high Quote
mini Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Nice motor mate What else is on your must own list???? Quote
bernmc Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 Nice motor mate What else is on your must own list???? A yank V8 - more cubes, the better . Just for the noise. Lotus 7 replica - any self-build will do. As soon as I get a garage big enough... An RS4 (the current one) - a few years when they're cheap Honda NSX Nothing particularly exotic - just cars that have caught my fancy Then it gets silly and wishful thinking - lambos' koenigsiggggggggwotsits etc. I'm coming to terms with the fact that these are highly unlikely to ever be on my drive Quote
GC350z Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 My goal is simple - be on the same driveway as a koenigsegg Guy Quote

Chesterfield Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Got to be second hand on a Gallardo - unless of course you want to suffer the £30k depreciation in the first 12 months just for the hell of it Mind you - buying something like that is one thing - keeping it on the road and the regular servicing is quite another. The evo Murcielago test car covered 20k in 12 months and costs were £3k servicing, £3k tyres, £2.5k clutch, Oil changes £450, Brake pads £600, and then theres the fuel for such a beast at about £8k for the 20k miles. Thats running costs of over 17k for that car in the year, then of course theres the insurance, which would undoubtedly be another four figure sum. Quote
monkfish Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 I'm buyin a gallardo before I'm 30 Here you go mate........ CLICKY I am serious however Then I wish you all the best mate!! As the guys above have already said, buying it is one thing, keeping it on the road will have you haemorrhaging money. Quote
