Back in 02 i was looking for a nice import.
Went to a few jap importer yards and test drove a 2 cars i liked
One was a R33, the other was a R32
Both had minor mods - exhaust and cat back - neither felt too exciting at all (I figure now that they must have been crap examples)
Ended up buying a 180sx and modding that
After going through a few cars after that, it was once again time to step into an import - after more reading up about Skylines, i decided to try my hand again. Fortunately the one i bought was much much better in comparison to the 33 and 32 i test drove at the yards
I have done basic mods so far and LOVE IT. I love everything about the car - the look, the sound, the performance
I cannot understand the "myth" as i like to call it, in regards to the R33's. After owning mine for a few months i think its one of the best imports out there. easy to drive daily, comfy, plenty of potential.
I much prefer it to the 180sx (and i loved that car)
