It really depends on what you want it for. Eg do you need back seats? If so don't even THINK about the RX7 :P The 2+2 3rd Gen RX7s have bum locators, I wouldn't even call them back seats. Basically you squat behind the driver/front passenger and the 'seats' stop you from falling over...

As with any car purchase, drive them all (not just around the block) and buy the one you'll still be happy with in a year.

I'm having the same dilemma. Your in the same boat as me mate. I love my GTR to bits, however, it IS getting a bit long in the tooth so I'm considering something newer with a factory waranty etc.

I just spent a shitload of money rebuilding my motor so it seems financially insane to sell it right after I have forked out so much money on it.

I suppose if I manage to sell the car, the new owner will be one lucky ****!

HCR32.... Grow up, I mean ppl here would prefer constructive comments...like, the V-spec II is pretty much 3 X the value of the most expensive car he's got in his list..... I say stick with the R32 or go the R33 V-spec... more down on earth i think.

By the way guys, I just heard some1 mentioned the 'W' word....'Warranty'. Well, I'm not getting paid for sayin this but any1 interested should check out 'JAPLINK' at Haberfield in Sydney, they import Skylines along with many others. I recently picked up a serII R33 with 3 years warranty and 1 yr rd-side assistance. I know the law in NSW says any commercial importers must provide a min 3 months, but try 3 YEARS @ JAPLINK !! When I picked up my '33, they had a Silver GTR V-spec sittin there..... real horny lookin'...

Plus most places instantly voids ya warranty as soon as they realise you've modified ya ride, well, JAPLINK modifies ya ride for ya and keeps ya warranty in one piece. GO TALK TO ROB !

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
