Hey From The Gold Coast

[Tjorgen]

Hey all.

Been driving my sv21 granmy for the past 4 years and think it's about time to hop into something with just a little more power.

So been searching and eying off cars for a while now and narrowed it down to an R33 GT-ST or 2.5L TT/T soarer as both are in my price range and have plenty of power.

Still trying to decide which one to go for but I guess I'll have to test drive to really see which one I prefer.

Any hints or pointers to pick out a good conditioned car would be appreciated.

Cheers

yeah take them for a drive. soarers have a better engine but they are mostly auto and the digiatl dash is ugly. both go well with mods.

Drive a Toyota Chaser as well, there are really nice cars and if you can afford the Manual, you will not be disappointed. they got 2.5 T VVTI engine, the one you will find in Soarer as well

also 2001 Nissan Skyline V35 Sedan might be worth a look

I know I sound crazy but don't mind driving the slush box, easier in traffic seeing as I tend to be in it most days.

The V35 is just a little out of my price range, looking at spending under $8k.

[mad082]

at under 8k you are mostly going to be looking at somewhat poor examples of either car, although if you go an auto 33 you should be able to find an ok example for around 8k. not sure on prices on soarers.

[Tjorgen]

most soarers are priced under $10k these days, few to be had under $6k.

so far found one nice '97 VVT-i Turbo for $8.5k under 90k on the clock.

There's a nice 33 auto on carsales atm for $7.5, waiting for holidays before purchasing though.
