Dead set sexy. I love black supras with no wing and not too wild kits. and if anyone tries to tell you that a skyline (any skyline) is better looking, then you know they own one and have the equivalent of turbo lag in their brains.

Have you considered a supra as the shape itself is very sexy.... get the aero model, they're non turbo, has aero roof so got that extra pulling look being half a convertible... the engine also has good bottom end grunt that can easily kick non turbo skylines, and I believe they're lots faster n sexier than FTO...

Also most aero I think comes in auto, dunno if you prefer manual or auto? Supra would also respond better to mods than an FTO. I heard the FTO's management was already good from the factory that it's very hard to gain more power by using aftermarket stuffs. There's more room for mods in non turbo Supra.

If I had to choose a non turbo sexy wheels, I'd go for the supra. But they cost heap$ more than FTOs and Skylines. That can be a deterring factor.

From what I understand you are after a hot looking car with everything done, but dont want a Turbo and high insurance costs.

You'd probably want something that wont cost you much in petrol or running costs.

The answer to your question is quite simple......

find a partner with a hot car :)

you wont have to worry about high insurance/ petrol costs.

If you are after a FTO, or similar.......buy privately or through a import broker.....you will save heaps of money that way.Trading in your car through dealers isnt a good idea. they are in the business of making money, not helping you out.

good luck

I think N/A Supras are pretty gutsy, I'd buy one over an FTO personally and I think they respond well to mods. The only thing is they are bulkier than an FTO but they are definitely sexier. Go the Supra! You gotta go without a wing though, looks yummy :P

What colour are you looking at getting?

Sooo true. My dream, a Red Supra TT with no wing, sideskirts and a lower front.

MMMMM

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
