The people who have owned them .
Seem to be able to pick them up cheap nowadays.
Are these going to be money pits?

Thats about how much the gts's tend to go for, its the gtrs that go for alot of cash, they arent money pits as such but you do get raped for parts "skyline tax  "

No such thing,
gts come either rb20det or rb25det gtr's are 2.6 twin turbos known as the rb26dett

A GTR is a MUCH MUCH better (or different) car than a GTSt & dont even consider a GTS

IMO the 1st one isnt worth the asking price with no Mot or tax.
3rd one could look awesome with just a wee tidy up.
Seen them go alot cheaper though.
Waston how much did Andy sell his R32 for??He let that go pretty cheap iirc.And one of the only 32s ive really liked.

A lot of them will be abused and badly maintained..
Its the same with any cheap performance car. Once they get to the point where they are affordable by the masses people buy them and soon realise they can't afford to maintain then properly so they just run them into the ground.
It was the same when the early Impreza WRX's first became obtainable to your average 20 year old a year later the market was flooded with shitters for peanuts and thus the cycle continues.

The words 'cheap' and 'skyline' shouldnt be in the same sentence tbh.

they can be bought cheap.... but anything thats heavy, has 4wd, 4ws, G sensors etc isnt going to be cheap to run...
No idea how much it would cost to run ours just 'on the road' but keeping it going on track over the last 3 years would have prob paid for a 1 bedroom flat somewhere :/

I have similar thoughts Adam, like "why didn't I just buy a house" etc.

Second one of your links looks the better bet IMO
MOT'd, Taxed, Looks tidy, SPec is Ok, Decent Brakes and the lower asking price...

trust me.... you dont want a R32 GTSt. Drive one, then drive a 33 GTSt, then drive a R32 GTR and so on.... You'll get a nice R32 GTR for 7k, and an OK one for around 5k
Word of warning on the 2nd one.... a front windscreen is not easy to come by.
