Hi all,

I'm interested in both 180sx and skyline R33

I'm currently leaning towards skyline.

Don't get me wrong, both cars are good.

I would like to assume that the skyline is more expensive to maintain.

But how much more?

which is better in term of value for money, performance to cost/maintainence ...

comfort wise definitely skyline.

found a 1995 skyline with hks coils, pod filter, 134000km selling for $16k

. is the car expensive?

(the car is basically stock)

Thankz

- I think for a pretty much stock car you should be able to get a better price than that.

- Have you looked at the S2 R33, imo they look better + are newer..

- you have options whether you want one already sold in Aus - or a fresh import..

- When getting a skyline it will be a newer car generally than a 180sx however will be slightly more expensive..

- pretty much comes down to personal preference..

- i prefer safety over old cars - hence getting skyline with ABS and Dual Airbags.. but that's a personal reason..

- You also want to look at resale price.. if you put an extra 30,000kms on it than your resale will drop..

- are you wanting private or dealer..

If you want down right balls... go a 180sx.

They look hot and go hard, simply because they are lighter than all the skyline range!

If you want interior comfort then a Skyline is worlds apart.

Skylines are a mix of looks, comfort and performance where as the 180sx can look good but is just a very good performance car. Abit older + a boring interior makes the Skyline a better choice in my opinion.

yeh, depends on what you can handle. my mate has a modded 180, 244rwkw. my line has 220rwkw.

the 180 is damn quick, breaks traction on boost, handles and goes like a rocket....but its loud and rattly, bounces over bumps at speed, really really light, steering feels a bit iffy due to the strut set up. but power is like an on/off switch, hits really hard. good engine to work on, lots of room in engine bay. very strong reliable motor.

the 33, is more refined, a bit slower, but not by much, specially with stock turbs, smoother engine, smoother power delivery, its alot easier to cruise in. the interior is much nicer, more bearable. steering and handling is alot better due to the more advanced suspension and the extra weight stops it from bouncing all over the road.

all depends on how much money you have and what you prefer the look of, you can always put an RB in the 180..

cheers

R32GTR! they cost like 22-28k

i can't afford that, i wish i can though.

how much do u spent on ur skyline r33 gtst per month. fuel etc?

trivial question , how much is the transfer fee for vehicles like that (180/skyline)?

Just got a bank loan for 15k and i don't wanna go overboard with my finance ..

(who doesn't? :))

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
