Me and a friend did the trek to Vermont today to pick up his new car.

A black Nissan R34 Skyline GTR V-Spec !!

Some little pics from my phone...Ill get some decent quality ones soon and maybe even some video...

Learnt that the guys from Tower Audio did the alarm install (contracted by Hypertech). We tested it early today. Top job they did too so big thanks to Adam and co.

LMAO @ the last pic, havent had them in a whiile. No stores where i am:(.
Nice car to lol

The last pic kicks ass over the skyline

Hehe...go for a spirited drive in one. You just may change your mind. Hmm, eating KK while driving the R. Im think Im onto something here...

Yes i think you are indeed.

Meh it looks like a skyline.

After having driven a few skylines R32 R33 and R34 in GTS-T & GT-R forms im impressed by them but not greatly - they are a friggen enormous car to manuver and all paw grip scares the crap out of me - its unnerving to say the least when it lets go... I think the GTS-T is more "fun" to drive than the GT-R

Im yet to drive an R so I cant really relate. Im trying to convince him to drive me down to the first CAASQ meet and go in the show n shine for a bit of fun. It looks much better in person, it just has a presence. Having it in Traralgon, the thing just looks out of place. Example: when we were parked at this restaurant/cafe thing called Iimis, two randoms came up, took a pic on their phone and walked off. Im like hmm yeah nothing suss there.

if u want a real skyline try the R31 or even the R30. R30 lookes like hell but drop a nicer engine in it (DR30 ftw) and wammo. massively awesome car

nice car btw

So. Puff.

thats cause its not a ute with a dog in the back

hahaha

Yeah yeah Smartass.

there wouldn't be many ~ $100k cars that could match the all round performance that this car offers.

sure you can get STi's and Evo's for < $60k brand new, but it's no Zilla

your mate is one lucky ba$tard!!!!!

Youre telling me...he's only 23! (Oh and if I was being pedantic: the 32 was the one and only Godzilla )

R32 feels like your driving - r33 onwards feel like your piloting...

i personally prefer to feel like im driving a car - thats all im saying

looks like the perfect car for targa tassie

awesome car i wish i could have a drive

next : the stereo, hey it is on CAA

Ive tried! But no it's a "track car" apparently.

Track cars can have stereos

high quality front splits

4channel amp

+ single 12inch sub

4channel amp + sub box removable for track meets

remove @ track since you need tunes when you drive there


relaxation is the key to fast driving. A good stereo is a massive help in this area.

23!?!?!!!!?!?!

how the hell do you afford a car like that at 23????

Hard work and rich parents. In the past he has had: R33 GTS auto (booooo!), an NA supra, one (or maybe two, I cant remember) Evo's, his GTT that he just got rid of and this baby. So jealous.

Pfft...Thats not a skyline... This is a Skyline

^^ they all look the damn same;
BIG FAT


not a fan of any of that import style so i should reserve my comments. For a car i generally dont like, that one does look pretty mean.

ps: he's gone though a few cars, no crape ones, tell him to make up his mind!

He has. This is the car he has wanted since he was little(ish). He was telling me he saw promo shots of a 34 GTR and said "I want one of those." And now look.

r34's havnt been around that long

but nice car.. seen a couple on the road too, and they look awesome

although i dont like the rear end of them.. something isnt quite right.. but they definately got the front right, clean agressive lines... ooh yeah

my brother just picked one of these up from the auctions in melbourne. $22,000 + delivery to bris

awesome score, he's sooo stoked aye. next is red leather interior, few go fast goodies(500hp@ the wheels, gold coast auto salon and then sell it for 50-60k

an R34 GTR for $22k ???

mate, you can barely get an R32 GTR for that kind of cash.

surely a GT-T?

- Stooge007 out

Yeah what he said. My mate picked this up for $71k so there is no way your brother got one for $22k.

EDIT: Missed this first time around.
This V-Spec is a '98 model. 8 years is a pretty long time.

I'd take the Van over the Skyline

I've seen R34's down as low as 40k.

Nvm, just checked, was a R33 labelled wrong.
