New To The World Of Skylines

[OBY]

Hey Everyone,

As you can tell by the title of the thread I'm new to the world of imported motor sport and more importantly skylines. I am currently own an Si Honda prelude and am looking to upgrade. So I am looking for an R32 two door for around 10k to be bought at the end of the year.

I would love whatever advice or tips you could give me as I search for my new car

Cheers,

OB

read through that, it covers most things to look for.

[OBY]

Hey,

Cheers for that. The list was a great help in what to look for when I eventually buy

Anything else you reckon I should learn about?

[Trozzle]

R32 for $10k? You'll get something pretty damn good for that price, so you surely won't be disappointed.

[Frink]

You'd get a good stockish R33 for that price too. then you'd get the better motor and gearbox as well....

[TiTAN]

for 10k you will be able to get an R33 with 200kw. if you look hard enough you can get them for as cheap as 7-8k

[Randon_I_Am]

yeah but then you'll have an R33...

[Verms]

Hey Welcome,

Just so you know I have a r33 for sale.

You'd get a big ugly R33 for that price too.

Is that what you really meant to say?

[Trozzle]

or a 21 year old POS r32

[tridentt150v]

No I think he wants an R32, he's into old cars............he wants one he can cut the rust out and restore!!!!

An r33 won't do it for him, too new and no rust.

[Trozzle]

lul

we're only kidding by the way, r32s don't have that much rust

haha nah they're cool

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

do yourself a flavour and get a 31.

better then the other rubbish

[OBY]

Haha cheers for all the replies lads.

Ok so what am I better getting? An R32 or an R33? Will I get a GTR R32 for 10k? And one last one, what is the main difference between an R32 and an R33?

Cheers,

OB

you may get a 32 gtr for 10k but i wouldnt expect it to be in very good condition. but you never know what will pop up.

interior is a lot newer looking in the 33, engine is easier to get power out of, gearbox is stronger, some people dont like the styling.

just go look through the for sale section, see what you can find.

i wouldn't buy any GTR for 10K! most likely it'll leave you disappointed as you'll probably need to sink big dollars into it just to get it going properly! most guys i know who own R32's eventually put the R33 motor and gearbox into them anyway! if it was me, i'd go the R33, but i am biased. however you cant ignore the fact of the much better, stronger and more reliable motor and gearbox the R33 has compared to the R32. the R33 also has bigger brakes (same as R32 GTR) which also makes a big difference.

just do some research, take your time and figure out which one you'd prefer. plus, my R33 will be for sale towards the end of the year

R32 gtst type m has R32 gtr brake calipers on them, just not the front rotors. also to R32 wheel base is about 100mm shorter (overall the R32 gtst is a smaller car)

Haha, I'll keep my eyes open for it then

Cheers for all of the info and advice. I'll do my research and see what is around when I'm all good to buy.
