BakemonoRicer Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Skyline GTR vs FD3S RX7 R32/R33/R34 GTR vs FD3S RX7 I am in the process of searching Japan for a 33 GTR, though the thought has crossed my mind as to whether to go for a Series 8 RX7. Speaking to plenty of friends within the import scene, a lot of them seem to think dollar for dollar the RX7 is the pick of the bunch....as its lighter, handles like a go-kart & straight out of the box will generally leave a GTR for dead. Who has driven both and which do you prefer, and why.... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/470252-skyline-gtr-vs-fd3s-rx7/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firty Free Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Personally I would pick the GTR, they appear to be going up in value (34 especially). I have never driven either so I can't compare practically. Good luck with the decision.

Both are great cars, honestly it's a win/win no matter which car you pick. I'd take an RX7 over a 32/33 but an R34 over the RX7.

Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 RX7 faster around Wakefield with less or next to no mods. Also, plenty of 1/2JZ swap kits from all mounts/shafts/exhaust and wiring. Literally plug and play. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/470252-skyline-gtr-vs-fd3s-rx7/#findComment-7827050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GH05T Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 if you want to go fast just buy an evo. if you want to buy a 90 nostalgic car, both will go up in value, both will brake going fast anyway. pick the one you like more. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/470252-skyline-gtr-vs-fd3s-rx7/#findComment-7827077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen1r Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I feel like GTRs are past the point of where they are good value for money, much better options available. If this was 2-3 years ago, I'd say pick up a clean Series 3 R33. I'd go an Evo or an RX7 over a R32/R33 GTR, and having driven a R33 GTR I think you'd be underwhelmed with the result.

Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 You'll fall asleep driving a stock R33 GT-R... even a stock R34 GT-R is boring.. I hired one and drove around Japan in one for a whole day.. zzzzzzzzzzz Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/470252-skyline-gtr-vs-fd3s-rx7/#findComment-7827539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
