I love both 180sx and skyline ...but which is better? ..

[shrome]

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..

yup r 31

[**JaR**]

nah go the skyline, but like links said, all comes down to personal preference really.

also 16k for a pretty much stock car isnt that good, i payed 14,500 for mine. ( '94 R33 GTS-T S1 )

hmm i think i'm pretty much a 'skyliner' but anyway

which bank / financial institution offer good rates for a bank loan?

it's pretty hard to find a good cond r31.just my 2cents.

Am i right when i say that s1 comes with airbag n abs as well?

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 mate go for 1 of those

it'll redefine expensive in your dictionary

[shrome]

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? )

[RedEmblem]

I'd spend about $100-$120 a month on fuel. Probably do about 1000k-1200k a month maybe... ?

[TracidTrax]

i would take the 180, loves the looks of it and it packs a fair bit of power, oh and they look better than r33's

[jazza08]

Well r33s are more classy...

If you wana pull girls the Skyline is definately the go lol

But all depends, both cars can look hot as hell!

[urbanoperations]

ahaha.... letz get da shkylines so i can pullz da chiks brozzzz....

and i can do some wheechpins mada...

seriously... they are both great cars... its really personal preferance...

[Evil]

i was in the same situation but my missus talked me into the skyline... i have no regrets either... the 180 lookks like a good car, but i would not swap my line for one...

[pentae]

they are both awesome cars. The 180sx feels a lot more nimble and a lot more like a racy, fun as hell sports car.

[Winner1]

mate trust me skylines are not expensive to maintain, just do service regulary and you will be fine...

[LOTR]

RB is more to service it has 2 more cyl :talk2hand

but have you felt 500lb+ on boost :69:

[RB30-POWER]

Since its such a hard decision between the two.

Just get the R31

[88silhouette]

correct

thirty one
