well he could probably buy two GTS-t's for the price of a GT-R but of course its not quite the same!

R33 GT-R will be a collectors item and should hold their value, along with any GT-R.

With the GTS-T forget about it being any sort of money holder, its just a sink to play with and enjoy :P

imho get an r34 gt-t (99-2002?), these cars look awesome and go great, faster then an xr6t most likely, and they have alot of potential for extra mods extra. Resale value would be very good too as they are new. Can come in tip tronic auto too i think.

If not the r34 get an xr6t rather then an r33 :P

i walked in with a cheque to buy that n1gtr. drove it down to my mechanic, and placed it on the hoist. it had marks indicating that it had been on a jig. cars dont go on jigs unless they have been in something major. the gearbox mounts have also gone. the underbody is also soooooo clean..... you can put your tongue on it. you put the rest together......

i think ether a R33 GTR V-spec -or- R34 GT-T (tiptronic) that way your wife cant complain ether :)

R34 GT-T are coming way down in price and as some others have said "they make a refreshing look on the roads" i have a R34 GT and it gets looked at all the time and you just feel so good :D (sounds harsh but cant argue with the facts)

any way... yeh thats my opinion... byes

PS: Good luck with what ever you buy :)

you should go for the r34 gt-t.. mainlt because its newer.. and so..

yeah.. just pretty much on that idea.. the r34 should be preferred..

sure.. a series III r33 gtr would also be good.. but a r34 gt-t would be the ideal car to choose - if you have the money (of course)

As much as i love Skylines, i would at the drop of a hat swap with cash payment of balance aswell my R32 GTST for an XR6T or a new XR8.

Go with the new car option - im getting a bit frustrated with dealing with specialist mechanics etc and would give my right leg to have a warranty. Although new cars have teething problems at least repairs are under warranty and not as much will go wrong on a new car as opposed to a 10yr old import.

The new Falcons are awesome - esp the XRs so go out and get yourself a Blueprint or Phantom coloured XR6T or XR8 - you wont regret it. At times i regret buying my import (as much as i love it) because the costs are never ending.

    • Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.
    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
