Wtb: Skyline/silvia Turbo First & Last Time (wife Rules)

NOOB WARNING

Hi Forum,

WTB: Skyline R32 / R33 / R34 Turbo or similar 6 cylinder Turbo (Silvia / Coupe)

First post here, I've been lurking for a while. I've owned a few cars throughout my life, but always wanted a Skyline / drifting coupe. Finally that day has come. Recently married, kid on the way, this is my last chance to get one, own it for a couple of years, then sell it before upgrading to a tarago / people mover. With a stack of sweet talking, my wife has agreed to let me buy a coupe > and I'm keen on R33 GTS-T's (but open to other cars).

My budget isn't great, she suggested 5k but I know it's going to take a bit more than that to get a good condition car. I'm looking for that "sweet deal" - so I'll probably have to sit back and watch forums/classifieds for a few months to find a nice condition R33 GTST (or something similar) for $6k - $8k.

If anyone out there is selling their loved Skyline, and wants to help a depressed Ford EL driver out (I'm sick of my car going to the mechanic every fortnight), post specs, pics, and asking price below. If it's going to need a bit of money spent on it, list what needs repairing and how much it'll likely cost.

I'm open to other cars, my first car was a KE70 and I'd love a decked out one of those. Priority? Fun + Sideways + sounds good.

Any advice / help / offers appriciated.

Be warned, whatever you pay for it, you will need to double the $ to keep it on the road.

Go for a four door Skyline, much easier to hold onto once kids come along

To be fair he said GTS-T not GTR

All the four doors I can find cost double my budget.

Happier to spend money on a car I love than a car I hate. Little mods / upgrades / upkeep is fine by me.

Broken oil pumps, spun bearings, blown turbos, dodgy crank angle sensors and flaky ignition systems

s-chassis cars are fun for the money too. i have one so i'm biased, but the best value right now are the series 1 S14's, just buy a lightly modded car and keep it simple. not much breaks on them besides rattly vct gear and dud fuel pumps, rest is usual wear and tear from age and mileage
