Not sure your looking at the right cars for the "easy insurance" bit, but I bought an R32 and cannot recommend them enough. I had to settle for 3rd party insurance though. The cost of fully comprehensive insurance just isnt justified when I've spent less than $10k buying my car.

I have generally found maintenance costs to be about the same as any other car. The only real increases in cost are because i use 98 octane fuel and fully synthetic oil.

gts is a 2L inline 6 naturally aspirated engine has under 100rwkw and rear wheel drive not to sure on the actual figure tho

gtst is a 2L inline 6 single turbo @ 110-120rwkw stock and rear wheel drive

and gtr is 2.6L inline 6 twin turbo @ 210-220 4wkw stock and has a smart 4wd system called attessa

r32's have t28/25 turbo's

gtst m spec is just like a pulsar q in an essance, jus had a few little extra's like a different front bar, and wing power & everything else is the same

then you also have the r32 gts4 which is same as a gts/gtst but 4wd same as gtr. jus dosnt have the extra power the gtr does :) a gts4 looses a little bit of speed over the gtst but when modded makes use of the extra traction

um other things, all r32 skylines have hicas which is a 4 wheel steering system

id suggest to buy a r32 skyline, but suggestions when buying r32's ive brought 3 gtst's now and have all been in exelent condition. what you need to check for, make sure the engine bay is clean, no oil or other fluids, also, turn it on, check for excessive smoke, watch the rev needle make sure its nice and steady, check the interiors, make sure it dosnt have any bubbles in the dash or any spots where its lifting/damaged, check the pilliars and stuff, best way to check the k's authenticity

bro.......have a look through the tradingpost

If i were you id prefer an r33 gtst. Simply because, looking through the trader, you can get a series 1.5-2 (around 95-97 model) skyline for around $16k. Its good value for money especially in terms of age. They also contain at least driver side airbags. Although, dont expect the r33 to be that quick, in terms of performance I believe the s14 is quickest but lacks comfort and room.

Good luck

ok honestly all three cars can offer similar performamce for similar price however the 200 and the 33 (if series 2 ) will hold value much better...mate personal preference test drive all three if you can or ask a mate to borrow one to drive to get a better appreciation for which one u like good luck making a decision...
