New To The Scene, Car Choice....

[daewon]

Hilo,

Just wanted some advice on my two options im leaning towards at the moment, as Im a relative skyline noob ,

Any thoughts on whether I should get http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=162672 or a stock s2 for 13000 and spend the rest on the car itself?

Thanks

try buying off a forum member as USUALLY it would be better maintained. its really upto you how you want to go about it. if you want to grow with your car and mod it to your taste then do that, or if you dont mind finishing off someones work then yeah haha.

personally, from experience i would buy a car modded already, as ive bought 2 stock skylines which ive spent a fair bit on both, if i was to buy another one id get one already done

at least get the basics, exhaust, suspension, fmic, air filter & ur off to a good start already.

oh and ive had a s2 gtst, its a realllly good car mate good choice

how much are you willing to spend all up??? IMO if your willin to spend a bit of cash id by a stock one and do exactly everything you want to do it. more personalized i guess... 13,000 not a bad price for a S2 stock. how many Ks?

The stock one had 134xxx, in pretty good condition, but I would only like to spend 18000 all up, so from the advice so far the modded one is the way to go I guess.

get a 32GTR.

in my opinion i would prefer the one with no mods but that's just me i'm so finicky about my car if i was living in the states i would have a fully maintained lowrider

FACT

BUT i think you would be happier with the modded one to be honest, from what i can gather, that's what you hear when you listen to your heeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrtttttttt....

....yyyyyyyyyyyeah

best way to decide this, is flip a coin, and deal with it! if you're unhappy with the outcome of the coin, then you will have your answer! don't let some REJECT on sau decide this for you,

JUST FLIP THE COIN!

Why do newys on the Skyline scene always go straight for the 33's

order of greatness:

32GTR - The orignal godzilla, RB26 for under $20k in some cases

31GTS-R - Rare as they come

33GTR - Nice prices, fairly rare (around Perth) also.

34GTR - Awesome style, but a bit pricey

How much you wanna spend on car? Cause if you got 18000 to spend and u spend 13000 on car plus insurance (guessing young male) and good alarm system $3000 you wont be left with too much.

Whether a car is boosted or stock you cant entirely tell its history so buying any second hand car is a gamble. Do the usual checks when looking at car and be patient!

I would reccommend if your a noob with skylines by a stock one and get to know everything you can about them and their mods. Then when you are ready, do it up and you have a car which is uniquely yours.

Just my Personal opinion, all the best on your skyline journey

R31? wtf

back to to the topic, 18k for a 33 gtst is too pricey

i'd get the stock 13k and do it up IMO
