TS Said "HE DON"T MIND IF HE HAS ALOT OF MONEY", he did not say he has alot of money, please Read properly guys... He is giving himself a time to reach his target and is asking for opinion. I believe this is a genuine thread.
Skyline GT-T is good enough, all you need is to remove the speed limit and it's a great car. It's still a good car now, but don't know how many years you are giving yourself. Maintenance cost will be high due to the big turbos. Parts will be expensive compared to Evolutions as they are rarer.
Price differs alot for GT-R & GT-T, unless you have that extra cash or hardcore fan GT-T is good. Since you are a Skyline fan, I wouldn't bother comparing other cars.
But the new Skyline V36 2.5 NA, abeit lost it's traditional senses is a nicer looking car. It only has 220hp and not as sporty but it's a Skyline so I recommend it if you can find one. But it would probably cost more than a GT-R.
The main problems with sports cars is the high maintenance cost. Most of the famous JDM sports cars are good enough each having their own characters. Except the Mazda 8, other than it's looks, doesn't have any character at all. Sorry Mazda 8...
*P.S: Go for the manual version. Sports cars are meant for manual. or Dual Clutch for modern ones. Saves more fuel too!
(BTW nice Skyline tailview sig)

QUOTE(Gouki @ Jul 8 2008, 09:49 PM) I know the theory of wear and tear behind the trashing of mechanism but if you wanna make comparison among the nissan. The 6-speed from S15 aint that strong coz its developed under Nissan while the 6-speed in the GTR is from Getrag. Cheers.  Added on July 8, 2008, 9:50 pmGet the car 1st then we are talking buddy.  Dude I believe before buying it's a good thing to know about aftermarket parts. You don't wanna buy a Volvo to find out later that the suspension cost 10k right? Try be more helpful.

QUOTE(-JfD- @ Jul 9 2008, 03:31 PM) Dude its a Nissun. Parts are like everywhere?  Nissan parts are everywhere? Are they interchangeable? What about new car parts like GT-R, Infinity & Fuga? What about Nissan President? Sorry I always though only local officially available models have many parts. Time to get a Nissan!

I think even in Japan R32 GT-R ain't cheap too. Cheaper than here but not as cheap as imagined. Same goes for Toyota MK-II Type 90 & Type 100, Chaser etc. Seems these cars have achieved some sort of status in Japan.
Sorry guys didn't bother to read the full thread but it ain't that bad making money out of MLM to buy a Sports Car. As long as you work hard I guess...
R34 GTT Arm for RM90, IMO any parts that can be bought for RM90 for such a car is dirt cheap! Even the gear knob cost more!
