Default skyline R34gtr quesions

As above I love my blob sti and dobt think I could or would ever get rid tbh.. but my ultimate dream car since I was young has always been the R34GTR..
So if work keeps on going well hopefully next year I will be able to get one. Just a few questions

What they like to live with day to day?
Cost of a good low milage one?
Just general info on them if anyone on here has owned or had a go in one.. only one thing in my mind is how cheap the new R35 are getting..

Thanks ryan

I'd love to join in here, GTR34 is a beast! I would love to own one along side the blobeye!

I would have to agree, I would imagine they would cost an awful lot to repair!

Torque GT in Devon normally has some nice skylines.

MY mate has one and loves it. I recently went in it and I was very impressed He doesn't complain about the running costs although he uses it as a second car.

I was surprised how small the boot is on such a big car...perhaps a third of the size of a blob boot.

Trouble is for a decent R34 GTR your banging on the door of R35 GTR money, and I would rather have the R35 GTR.

But im the same as you the R34 was my dream car when growing up, and very rare do you see them on the road, I did look at one at a import auction not long back and it was a midnight purple v-spec with loads of scratches,dents and kerbed wheels with 80k miles on the clock and it was still close to £20k, so probably looking close to £25k on UK roads for a ropey R34 GTR!!!

Probably a good investment these days. Expect to pay 30k plus for a decent one. And they're like rocking horse shyte

Speak to Jurgen at JM Imports, he'll tell you what you need to know.

Answered all my questions when I looked into owning an R33 gtr v-spec. Had a good look at all his stock and all in very good condition.

He would source you a good R34 gtr.

I had a rx7 a few years ago but only had it a few months then sold it to a guy at work, just offered me to much to refuse. I then got another scooby but was later told that the rx7's are pretty reliable for blowing engines. I would still like to own one though if I had more money than I knew what to do with, they are a bit small inside though.
