Been thinking about them as my next car?!

But touch wood If I get this job in 2 weeks, my GTiR goes I can afford a decent one! I prefer the R32 shape over the R33, but.

Whats the pros and cons about them? Im not to fussed about fuel costs though, but anything else?


I'd like the Audi still, But tbh its 4 doors and thats not what I want hence me never suggesting a Saph, although I have thought about them


ta

 

If you buy a cheap one it probably wont have been maintained and will go wrong all the time.

Certainly some dogs out there now.

AWESOME cars when they are working right though

 

as said last night, your change your mind......tommrow

 

Radders how many cars have you thought about now lol.................

They can be a serious tool when sorted properly but as any performance car they more than likely will have issues and go wrong (especially with you driving) lol

 

Chip If I get this job, I should have about 7k to play with! and Ive seen them for 5k onwards, So should be able to buy a decent one


Lee - Prob

 

Awesome cars, but I wouldnt.

Get a Supra or something, wont go wrong then, and easily as fast.

 

Dan, Loads mate!

Audi TT
Audi S3
Audi S4
Skyline R32
LET Nova
200SX S14
3dr
Another Mini
New Mini Cooper S
RX-7


Thats about it I think...

 

dont the r32 have a problem with oil pumps, and they certainly dont like being over revved lol

im sure if you geta r32 1st thing to do is put a decent oil pump and drive on from a r33

but they can be awsome cars, and you can do som much to them

if you havnt been in a skyline that shas done a proper launch before id suggest you go in one as there are excellent at it

my next car is a r32 or r33 at the end of the year once im finished with the cossie

 

get something you can work on

 

Not keen on Supra's, Any major issues Stav in the R32... ?

 

Mini then

 

I thought you actually BOUGHT that S14 mate?

Make your fucking mind up!

Bar getting an Evo of some sort the R32 and R33 GTR's are the ONLY cars that would sway me away from the Evo!

 

The RB26 engine, the RB26 electrics, the Skyline parts prices, the utterly useless and expensive tuners, and so on and so forth.

Decent second hand RB26 = 3000quid
Toyota 1JZ 2.5 twin turbo (just as good and far more reliable when tuned to 500bhp on stock internals) = 300quid

And can get a 1JZ Soarer for a grand...

 

Dan I nearly had mate, was all set in stone but I couldn't find the last 1.3k I needed


Cheers Steve

 

Would a R33 be better ?

 

All the same, just cost more and not as badass.

 

RX7 then

 

Damn...

 

I do like RX-7's.... and for 7k I should find a nice one! I dunno... I'll see what happens when I got the cash, May just spunk it in Ibiza

 

my advice is get a r32 gtr mate...you will never look back..ive got a r32 atm and the cossie wch i got recently..512@1.4bar if boost with some hks 2510s...and a fair few other bits as well....spent loads of money on it...its addictive!

tbh GTR prices have plummeted they are really cheap now..you can get something with stage 1 mods for like 6k and it will probably be ok..obv near 10-11k and your getting yourself a mint one low miles..excellent bodywork etc

only problem ive ever had with my GTR has been with my battery in nearly 2 years of ownership and i bought a new halfords battery and never missed a beat.

not going to lie the petrol is awful...cost me nearly 1/4 tank to get like 25miles...so its quite painful!

get on the gtroc..we are a helpful lot!

 

Fook! You should have asked Rad i've said it before fella...

 

asking for a rebuild mate..but they are very nice cars!

 

get a 240sx.

 

he doesnt live in america

 

raziislam - Cheers mate

Dan - Cheers to

Steve - Whats a 240?

 

how much you got to spend and how much you got for when it goes wrong lol

 

American 200SX, they all came with slow 2.4 non turbo engines.

 

you dont live in japan

 

and?

 

ive always fancied a skyline but have heard a lot about engines letting go and the cost of keeping one on the road seems high.
ill probably have one one day but wether i would like it better than an evo/impreza/m3/m5 im not sure.

 

R32 GTR'S make cosworths look like economy cars if they go wrong...i sold my cosworth a few years back and bought a r32gtr,i put it in with one of the top skyline tuners to have cambelt and full service and was presented with a Ł1300 bill! I was also told it needed rear steering arms and they was mega expensive...if you buy one,have a few grand put aside for running costs!

if you want something different import a old skool nissan 200zr

and if you can find one with a rb26 then sorted

but id go with the r32 or a rx7 thats had a rebuild

but as stav has said supras are very good cars and very tunable and reliable but have heard they can be handfull

 

...and youre a cunt

 

Depends how far you wanna go, if its been rebuilt wont help you anyhow, esp as most Skyline tuners make TDI look skilled

and thats the most retarded comment yet

whats that gotta do with rad not buying a slow expensive LHD version of a car he can get cheaply, easily, in RHD, and with a much more powerful engine?

 

as Stavros said if you want a bit of Jap flash then get a Supra.

I would NEVER own a Skyline again....

They look good, but they are UTTER cnuts to own.

 

dear god where did you go? rising sun?

mate my advice take it to perfect touch...50 an hour..and tweenierob is the main man there..not sure if hes got a big name with ford people but hes an excellent gtr mapper...but it can be expensive.

 

Supra's are great in terms of the engines and the reliability but I suspect the handling will not be what you are after Radders, they are heavy and they feel it.

200sx is much more fun to drive IMHO than a supra.

 

GTart in sussex as it was 20 miles away and well respected.

supra really are a good buy these days , basic tunning will see decent levels of power

JSPEC supras only require an after market exhaust & decat with restrictor ring, uprated fuel pump, & colder spec spark plugs and you would have a very reliable 400ish bhp

Or push the boat out an go for a uk model and you will only need to decat it & add a boost controller for the same power..

 

If you do not want a 4 door and want a good handling jap car which is light,quick and probably one of the cheapest to maintain,there is only one to go for... type r impreza
