Buying.. R33 Or R34?

[aquilius]

Hey wondering if i can get some knowledgeable opinions...

First of all, just so you know im talking about non-modified, turbo, automatic examples...

I had an r34 for a few months before a taxi hit me from behind and wrote it off...

Ive test driven a few r33's in my time and I cant help but feel that they are more responsive engine wise, dare i say they feel faster. May just be my impressions...

Also I was under the impression that the r34 used less fuel than the r33... is this true? I noticed when i had my r34 that fuel consumption was reasonably high.

Basically I have 18k to spend... I could get a nice r33 for 12k and spend the extra money on alarms, a front bar, rear bar, dvd player, or whatever. Or i could get another r34 for about 16k, basic model and not really be able to afford any luxuries for it.

What is your opinion? Thanks

as you said if you get r33 you can spend money on other things, unless its a series 2 you will need a body kit IMO, but R34 looks fine stock !

As far as fuel economy goes the NEO is supposed to be more efficient, and the 34 has more power so should be faster, but i havent driven either so cant speak of which feels more responsive. Maybe someone with experience in both can shed some light on if the 34 has slightly more lag ?

a 34 WILL beat a 33, but if you just want to feel like your going fast, then if it turns out a 33 is more responsive maybe thats better for you ?

basically i think if youve had a 34 before and your having to second guess it maybe you really want the 33 so you can do more stuff to it, so perhaps that is your answer ?

Tough break about the taxi.

If it was me, id go the r33 series 2 and create a 'just in case' fund. Try and buy one with the look u like and perhaps a dvd player already which will save you some dough.

Hey mate,

bummer about the first r34. We've seeing r34 sales definitely outnumbering r33 sales lately, but if you can find a mint 33 that might be a good option for you. We've got an auto coupe turbo 34 coming in, selling for $14,900 after compliance (wholesale price). more info on our ebay page.

basically the body is pretty different, so choose whichever one you prefer lookswise. You can get great performance out of either.

cheers,
