Hey I have read my fair share about skylines but I want to get my hands on all the details I can to help me determine which skyline I should purchase.

I will first let you all know that based on looks I like the R34 best, then R33 & then R32. One of those three models I shall be purchasing.

This car will obviously become my project and recieve serious modifications so body dtyle isn't really an issue as if I want a 32 to look like a 34 I will just get a kit as I probably would on a 34 anyhow.

I am under the impression that I should stick with a GT-R model but obviously the price goes up and what really are the benefits? two turbos? torque distribution? these things can be added at a later date can they not? Oh and sure the GT-R badge but that will be gone in a heartbeat if I park it on the street.

The expected aim of the car is to end up top performance so most if not all parts in the car will need to be upgraded, that being said does it really matter what skyline i get?

sorry I have to cut off the rest of my blurb but I will post again, responses, recommendations, information so far please :)

Are you serious?

1: This is the CLASSIC SKYLINE section which none of the cars you mentioned above fall into the that category.

2: Do a search all the info is on this forum somewhere.

3: Modifying a car isnt as easy as just slapping in some torque distribution and a couple of turbos, I suggest you stop playing Gran Turismo and actually work on a car before taking on a monumental project to end up with "top performance".

i agree well said :devil:

I for one suggest you get yourself a manager!

They are somewhat expensive, but in your case better than "HANDLING YOURSELF"

Classic in any stretch of the imagination ends at 1990 and nothing R32 ever descended below 1991.

The previous 2 guys weren't tough enough but that's how we are in Classic Skyline.

You have to be kidding yourself.

      To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
