Jeeezuz some damn trukies are sooooo reckless; they think they have the right of way.

Id probably go for an r32 gtr if you have enough extra cash but if your worried about maintenance then the r33 gtst is the safer bet.

For some reason you probably wont be happy with the heavier rb25 r33; Ive driven a few and they just dont do it for me anymore after an rb26dett.

It all depends how much money you have, if you can a 32gtr would be good, if you want a 33 then you could pick up a standard 33 gtr for very low 20's some times high teens.

With skylines there is no gaurentee what they will be worth in the long, there value is dropping real quick.

Your best bet is to buy something that you really like and want to keep, you cant put a price on the amount fun you will have in a car you really like as opposed to something that you hate but is only there to get you from A-B.

At the end of the day it all comes down to what you want, i hear a lot of people saying the dont like 33's for one reason or another but it is always based on there personal preference, at the end of the day your the one paying for it so go with what you like.

I would say the R33 GTSt is the best choice, in terms of balance between purchase price, cost of

maintenance and performance. That is the reason why they are so common. Great car and bang for buck.

Ofcourse, an R32 GTR would be a good choice as well, if you can afford the maintenance and have extra cash for when stuff breaks......

I told my friends who say to get a 32 gtr i don't have much cash, even tho i get insurance money and get my other car back and fix and sell it i still wouldn't have enough money to maintain it, had another friend tell me he can get one gtr imported for me cheap on the road comply as well, but dunno what kind of condition it will be in i might have to spend more money on it. but yea my decision anyway i said lolz.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
