To Swap Or Not To Swap

[Smoky]

I will personally punch you in the ovaries if you sell yours and buy this Greg!!

The P plates are a dead give away as to what life this car has lived (still speaking from experience ) and considering the price of petrol its a no brainer

At the end of the day what are you looking at using the car for?? you seemed to have fun at Texikhana

[mass_iv]

GREG!!!! Nooooooooooo i didnt build my baby for a bogan hoon to drive

too much blood sweat and tears went into my old baby, and not to mention money $$$$$

dont do it, the line is a warrior, and is SEX!!

agreed - on both counts

[Abo Bob]

It's ugly and they handle like shit. If you're lucky you will even be getting the model with the live rear end! Ooh yeah.

[Primordial]

You need to start a VS thread and get the opinion of the school holiday kids!

Bugger the commy... sounds great but they are even more boaty than the line!

[wilch]

That's one very ugly Commodore.

Thought it would atleast look like something other than a bogan rice mobile (with a decent engine).

[Haysey]

Like that song goes...

No body likes

no body likes...

no body likes a BOGAN

keep the Nugget (ie 33)

Totally agree, Stick with the line.

I did have to think on it for a bit though as I too have a soft spot for VS clubby's.

The only reason to swap would be for the noisy rumble.

Just take the exhaust off the line.....lol......

[mass_iv]

hahaha the line has a pretty sexy note.. its unique.. gotta love custom exhausts

[WPN-O33]

Nice family car> ha, my last car was a worked vs ss commodore & i hated it i will never get a bommodore again!! SKYLINE FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the 33 is seeeeeeeeeexxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyy!!

but whatever makes you happy..

[v_s_p_e_c]

Hmm some very convincing results there. I know mass will kill me so i guess i won't do it. I can always tow a boat with the line if i get a 3L bottom end lol

[mass_iv]

hahaha thats right ill kill u... nah man its ur car dude, id just hate to see it go to waste besides i know u'll miss it

one of my closest friends owns a vs senator 215 stroked to 5.7L and hates life.

as soon as my friend gets his full license he'll be changing to turbo cars.. he can't stand v8's anymore.

i was a v8 boy back in the day. i put a deposit on a VQ statesman 5.0L... but cancelled within 3 days and got my liner. i'll never turn back!

pros:

nice for long cruises on the freeway

boys like v8's

cons:

my friend spends $20 a day getting to work and back.. changing gears under 2k rpm

people say R33's are like boats? wait till you drive a holden..

interior has only minor upgrades from the vn/vp

not as customizable as a skyline

engine isn't cooling efficient, rev her out and expect problems

more money spent, less HP/kW gained

girls like turbos

at the end of the day, get what you want!

Thats actually a really clean clubby mate...

However yourskyline would destroy it at the drags and around a track.

The 355 would certainly sounds pureporn!!!!

Id be sticking with the line mate.

I came from the Holden side....and it would take alot for me to go back!!!!

^agree

Mate, i own both a 1966 mustang GT, and a 93 GTR. I have driven r33 gtst's as we have one in the family.

I love my V8 she is not only better looking that the GTR but gives me a buzz nothing else can.

HOWEVER the GTR is a car that goes around corners goes great in a straite line and still is a great looking motor car. (if i had to give one up i would be pulling my hair out, but at the end of the day the mustang would still be in the garage.)

Your r33 is a better looking car than that. And will handle much better and be quicker.

If your sick of the r33 maybe look at a GTR, or go for the v8. Keep in mind they are good for diffent things, V8's are burnout machines the best in the business. They also make cheap power and are much cheaper to buy most parts.

The liner is a better car, i wouldn't be handing over cash ontop of the car.

V8s are great, but thats the wrong car to own if you want a v8.

My 2 cents

I think i want it so bad because its everything i wanted in a commodore when i had my vs 5L. But yeah i also wanted this 33 for 6 years so i'm miserable either way lol.

PS. keep the liner

[700HP-GTR33]

In a few years to come....maybe 5 to 10 even earlier....when all the newer model cars have hit the road,,the VS

will look ancient and outdated, everyone will be looking at you as though you are causing all the Worlds

pollution problems.

The Skyline on the other hand is seen by many young and old of today as a iconic vehicle....

having purpose,style and character...having purpose(GTR) but yet being able to be driven daily.

Lets face it.....2 door..coupe..good lines etc etc etc....versus...4 door..sedan..boat shaped.

You are like comparing a track car to a shopping car.

Put them on the 1/4 mile...put them on the track.....skyline looks better..feels better..handles better...

and most of all gets the chicks...lol.

Keep your car...Its the real deal.
