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.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
