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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
