I know it might be a bit bias posting on a Skyline forum but any information is good information.

I'm looking at either a 33 or a VY ss, only problem is that I can't make up my mind. I love imports but a 1996 Skyline versus a 2004 Commodore.. That's 8 years more of people probably thrashing the guts out of the thing. I mean you can get a relatively clean and mostly stock 33 for around the same price as the SS, but is it worth it or will it just end up being a money pit?

Also, if anyone is under 25 years old, can you give me some information on how much you pay on full comprehensive insurance.

neither. go a vx clubsport. i have one for sale. lol

2 different beasts mate, if you want to mod it and like police attention go the 33. if you wanna fly under the radar and keep it relatively stock go the v8.

of course the 33 handles better, but stock the v8 is quicker.

both have pros and cons mate. i would say drive both and see which you prefer.

also my clubby is manual :woot:

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
