I regret buying my car everyday. Not regretting the choice of car, just this one. It has taken me over a year just to fix the car from the last guy.
I am very happy with the skyline, specifically the r32 with a 20 and box. I have not had any issues mecahnically (engine and box) yet.
Its your preference, 32/33 Get what you want. I chose a 32. why? More profound shape and I'm definitely not a captain of a boat. Sure they are older but parts are cheaper. son of rajab knows you wont be wanting to push 400hp in the first year or so. RB20s can handle 350hp easy with running stock internals, gtr injectors and better turbo. The best thing about a 20 is if the engine does go bang you can pick up one for less than 1K.
In the furture Im sure you will want to put in something with more power so you have two options, 25 or 26 into the r32. You're budget is the limit to what you can do. Or if you do not like the 32 after a year or so you can sell and go to the 34.
"unless you can afford to run it, insure it i wont recommend getting it as they send you broke"
- completely agreed. IIf you cant afford 1K+ per year insurance, maintenance ets stay with the lance.
Peace,
