Serious opinions needed!

Nah, the 33 is soft, the 32 was an agressive sports car, then they went all fluffy for the 33, then back to the old roots with the 34 being a lot from column A, and a little from Column B. If we were talking a GTT Vs a GTS-t there would be no contest, but even then, i'd still look at a 32 GTR :uh-huh:

Yeah my current car is turbo, but only running around 8psi of boost, so nothing to hyped up. Its a quick car, but with two less cyliners the Skyline has always felt a much quicker car to me....

I have loved the 33 since i drove my mates 97 GTST last november, but i do also love the look of the 34.

My current frame of mind tells me to buy a series 2 R33 and then have a look at a 34 a year or so later... I have driven a 34 but it was a GTR so i cant make the decision on that basis :lol:

Personally I would look at the 32GTR.

For a Rating 2 I pay almost $1500 with Just Cars Insurance,

I am 22 Years Old.

Rating 1 is going to be around $1100 so they told me, but I wont find out for sure until November This Year.

You never know if you are looking at paying in the field of around $4000 then well I'm sure you should be able to get insurance for a 32 GTR for that much.

Depends on your driving history.

I havn't had any accidents etc etc etc.

I have made one claim for the other half rolling the car down the drive way in to the house across the road :eek:

What I think looks best is when whatsisname didn't have the car lowered and he was running 255's looked really mean from the rear with heaps of tyre showing.

Then again I look near stock looking cars....

A Nice Jet Black R33 Series 2 Tinted windows, a nice set of wheels running 255's, Stock Height but better springs/shocks/swaybars with a GTR Front Bumper, a big shinny FMIC and a 4" Exhaust tip.

Exhaust tip any bigger and I think it starts to look a little silly.

My reasoning is Keep it stock looking and more ppls respect it and don't refer it to as RICE, Especially when you scream past them trying to grab traction in second gear :burnout:

Thats my 2c's...

insurance and spareparts will be expensive in the r34... so besides initial cost you also gotta look at upkeep... r33's are very common, so cheap parts and plenty of support and mechanics who work on em confidently... maybe you should look at gettin an r34 a bit further down the track when you can afford a GT-t

just because it has a b/kit dosen't mean it's rice, personally I can't stand the look of a S1 r33 with out a kit.

Exactly unless you are talking about a Hyundai..

The majority of ppl on the roads aren't hoon heads as we are; they are familys with kids who drive the common commodore.

When they see a car that has a big body kit with big fancy triple wings and ducts, well they see it as a hoon car.

Well they wont really think much of it when it is spinning up the rears in second with ease. Get my drift.

I wouldn't consider a GTR Kit a body kit. It isn't over the top.

For value for money,driving pleasure, & modification potential, the

R33 GTSt is the best late model import around.(In my opinion)

I owned a 94 GTSt for 2 years & I think they are great cars.

All mine had was an exhaust & a GTR intercooler and it made 165

rwkw, was very smooth to drive under any conditions,and looked

excellent. Of course GTRs are wild(I've got 2!) but the extra weight & the 4wd system can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help - especially when you just want to go sideways off the lights.The non turbo R34 would be a nice cruiser, but if you like driving fast and you are looking to modify your car down the track, I think the R33 GTSt would be the best choice. Sure there are lots around, but how many commodores & subarus etc are out there too?

Everyones advice to drive plenty of good examples of both models

in question is good. Whatever you decide - you cant go wrong buying a Skyline. A word of warning though - if you want to heavily modify one, wait and find one with lots of stuff you want on it already.The beat value is in the original purchase.Once you start spending big wads of cash on these cars you will -

1) Get hooked and want more (Trust me)

2) Never get your hard earned cash back

3) Drive the car less & less

4) Void your insurance(if you can get it in the first place) 5)Look back at all the money you spent & wonder why you didnt

wait and buy a sick GTR instead.

6)Get defected - my worst nightmare

&7)Lose your licence - my other worst nightmare.

But all this aside - go for it & have fun.

Yeah thats why im leaning towards the 33 at the moment, you can get so many extras on the car straight from the auctions...

And as for parts thats a damn good point, ive only seen a handful of 34's around so it would have to be true that parts are scarce as....

[Black33]

non turbo, bah! go the 33.

A nice series 2 looks damn nice and has more of those sharp lines similar to the r34 gtt

[slip]

I have to say 33 depending on how much it is. its got fmic and coilovers, its gonna be decent. as much as i dont really like the 33's (looks/weight) thats the choice id take.
