O.k in a year or so i will be wanting to do one of a few things car wise before i save for my house

Options i am considering

1.Sell current gtst and but and slightly modify a R34

2.Sell current gtst and buy a stock 33gtr/lightly modded 32 gtr

3.work on my current gtst upgrade turbo ect

just wanting your guys opinion on what i should do as i havn't made up my own mind yet and its still far off

Think carefully. Once you get that mortgage you have in effect shackled yourself in a huge chain never to have ready cash to spend on toys again. lol

If your 33 is good and you are happy, I'd keep it an mod it. 20k would have it singing. 'Better the devil you know' in some ways? Buy a new car and it could be a lemon.

I like the look of the 32 gtr's better than the 33's, just has a tougher stance when its dumped on 18's. however it is almost becoming a classic. I wouldnt want to have to fret about it (if things go wrong), with a house waiting to be paid off..

IMO dump the house and live in your car then you can make a 7 sec godzilla streeter.. whilst having insane banana dance raves.. :P;):banana:

tough decision man.

yeah im tossing up between a stock 33 gtr or a nice 32, how common are the 33's compared to the 32's (GTR's)

lots less 33 gtr produced than 32's

but the 33's are a hell of a lot fuglier imo

<3 my 32R. I was eyeying off a 33GTR for a while aswel. Thing that made me change my mind was the 33's are heavier (not by much, bout 50-100kg more, very negligible) was that you can't disable the AWD systems on em, same as the 34's. 32GTR's have for me always looked a lot better and have the true "cult" recognition aswel, coupled with the fact that they were the reason australian touring cars went to V8's and RWD only :(

My opinion would be, keep the R33 and drop money into it and get out of it what you want performance wise. Reason being, it's better to modify a car you already have and know where to put the $$ than to i nherit someone elses potential problem and then have to spend more money on it than you originally intended.

I agree with Joe.

With 20g, you will not find a 33gtr and not much change on a modded 32gtr + stamp duty. So if you need to do any maintenance....its extra $$ needed and you'll be digging into the house fund.

Having said that....i've never walked my talk and bought cars on impulse.

    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
