i dun know if u wanna compare, but....

i just got my r33 gts-25t 4-5 weeks ago. $17k, the seller also covered all the costs like roadworthy, check for finances owing, and stamp duty!!!!

since then, i've spent another $1.5k on a stereo, dyno + major service, nismo clear indicators, strut brace. Rims to come soon...and maybe a 400R sideskirt with read bar and pods....

the only downside was that it was auto...however, i wanted an auto, i got a 2003 subaru impreza RS 2.5L manual (company car), and i hate the daily grind to work in peak hour traffic via clutch work....stopping and starting all the time...i'm getting old, need to preserve my leg joints! LOL...

i think $16k for the non turbo gts is a bit expensive. But that's just my thoughts. You should maybe allow another $1k to $2k up your sleeve for the extra's.

at the end of the day, it's your dosh, not mine!

youll probably find full comp for an N/A r33 is around 2500 ish and full comp for a gtst is 3000

thats avergage for a p-plater of course, should you wish to make a claim depending on insurance company you may not be able to as its illegal for a p plater in vic to drive this car (r33 gtst) as it is over the power to weight ratio (r33 gts is fine)

something to consider

the main insurance cost is cos its an import, the turbo bit is an extra $300-$500 usually

again thats average, could depend on application

theres a thread in the N/A area of this forum dedicated to insurance for non turbo vs turbo

Nice car, but the only advice i can make to you.

Test drive this N/A skyline and then just go test drive a Turbo Skyline. Once you drive a turbo, you don't want to drive anything else. Then if you still really want the N/A then go for it, its a nice car anywayz.

Insurance is going to be expensive whether you buy a N/A or Turbo Skyline. Because of the fact that it's a Skyline, and an import + p platers, its gonna kill you. But you mite as well buy a turbo skyline for that extra few grand of insurance!

But then again its your choice.

Gud luck mate.

yea i got quoted an insane ammount on full comp by just cars and 3rd party fire and theft sounds fine, just gotta drive carefully for a few years. But im drivin it tonight so ill make a decision then and if i dont like ill go the 200sx or a turbo skyline cos im checkin sum of them out on the weekend too............and insurance difference is only a few hundred bucks from and NA and a turbo skyline.

ummm.. why is it illegal for P plater to drive a r33 gtst in victoria? I'm currently a P plater driving a 96 r33 gtst with full comprehensive insurance.. the insurance company never told me anything about it being illegal... :slap:

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
