I'm looking to spend up to 30k on my first skyline but don't know what to get....was thinking R33 GTST S2 but now I'm not so sure...

The plan is to buy my 'line stock and do it up completely myself and it will basically be a learning experience for me...question is should I get R32, R33 or R34? GTS, GTR or what? Which one would be the best to start off with?

I want a car that has the potential to go 10 secs, good handling, easy to drift....I will be getting another skyline next year or 2007 so this will be my practise car....

When you say 30K, does that include the cost of modifications or just the car?

Best buy with that sort of money (just for the car) would be a late model R32 GTR or early model GTR 33 or GT-T R34.

Plus the 100g worth of mods you'll need for a 10sec car.

30k just for the car, maybe a little more if it will be worth it....I'm sick of driving a shitbox and want to get my skyline before August...I know it will cost heaps to make it a 10 sec car but that is fine coz it will be worth it when I'm in the hottest ride around lol

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
