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:

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
