just my opinion, but I reckon the 32GTR (as cheap as it is now) will go up in value over the years due to its iconic status and being the only true Godzilla not to mention that its the only car to ever be banned from the Bathurst because it was too good......obviously this will only apply to immaculate ones in original condition.

32 GTR's are already becoming hard to find in parts of Japan and the price is slowly creeping up, as it's becoming a 'collectors' item, plus the popularity of GTR's (with the release of the 35 GTR) has caused 34 GTR's to drop in price and 32 GTR's to go up in price.

my number one pick, would obviosly be the 33..they are so easy to f**k up in the body mods department, but when done correctly,

they look tuff as a nuns cherry.

second by the 34 gtt, tuff looking from factory, and easy to modify.

all skylines tickle my fancy though (cept v35) , no one can say no to a tastefully modified skyline.

my $0.02c

I didn't buy a R33 because of the looks..bought it because of the Engine and driveline....excellent cars for the money. It didn't have too much trouble keepin up with the GTR's in the hills either. I also bought a 33 because i like the underdog. 90% of R33's out there look gayer than two blokes rooting...I like it when i get comments like....'i dont like 33's but yours is phat' hehe. Having said that i like the look of an R33 GTR, Being the widest of the 3. I will get one very soon.

R32 GTR = WIN

The R32 GTR. Just the presence it has on the road, track, drag strip. When you see one rock up, you just know its going to do something amazing. But I think any Skyline does that. They just have that reputation of being animals. That's why I got one.

Definetly R32 GTR followed closly by the R34 GTR. Nothing wrong with R33's but to many people just have no idea how to modify them tastefully. Here's hoping the original zilla's go up in price as I plan on keeping mine for quite some time! :thumbsup:

i've driven r32,r33,r34 and i gotta say ike the R33/R34 best....both actually haha!

That said they all feel very different in handling/chassis/power delivery

compared with other sports coupes, nissan skylines just feel like they know their stuff!

I agree with people in saying that some don't know how to modify their cars properly lol!

EDIT: Gtr's are in a totally different league though :thumbsup:

yeah both Ryans make very good point here.

Although my favourite is the 32GTR, occasionally you see a nice clean 33 like Ryanrb25's (I think I told you that on the boards a long time ago Ryan).

There are obviously alot more 33's on the road than the other 2 and too often they are ruined by wrong kits so it's a pleasant surprise every now and then to see a tuff one like Ryan's.............IMO they stand out alot more than ones that have been turned into a Concorde airplanes.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
