Hi,
Bit of background,
Atm i have a N/A Mkiv Supra, I had always wanted a supra but have found that it is too space limited and impractical.. So i'm converting to the darkside and considering a skyline , which i had limited down to either a R33 GTR or R34 GTS (But that's another discussion).
I get off my P's in 12 months so was looking to buy one within that time frame, and also having a bombadore daily until i'm on my opens.
Because i've always been a supra man my skyline knowledge isnt that great but i have been doing my reading, and from what i can find the only 6 Speed skyline was the R34 GTR?
At the time that i found this out i was a little crushed, and it seemed like a clear deal breaker for team skyline, but i've been thinking about it and its still really the only car that comes close to all my criteria..
(room for 4, rwd, manual, aesthetically pleasing, Sub 50K, and not a turbo Taxi AKA XR6T etc..)
The car wont be a daily driver, but it will certainly get driven a lot, a holiday interstate regularly..
I believe my supra sits on ~2900 RPM at 100km/h, which is a little high for my liking, but it also is only a 5 speed..
I have done a little reading and believe the R33 GTR sits at about the same at that speed, but its also a completely different motor that i'm not familiar with..
My biggest concerns about having the motor rev at 3k + for 8+ hours were wear on the motor, and excess fuel usage (Not biggest concern but still at the back of my mind)..
Just after a little input about how the 5speed gearing is, and what BPU Skylines are like on fuel and reliability (Remembering im used to the bulletproof 2j )
