You're not looking to buy one are you?? If so, you think Cossie ownership is expensive.

Evo??

Seriously, the running costs of Evo/Skyline is not to be underestimated and is another notch up from the high-maintenance Cossies.

Should of said this yesterday mate. One of my best mates has a R33 GTS-T.

I must say, its really juicy and it gets to the point where its soo juicy that its laughable

But fuel consumption aside, it drives nice handles well and with a few choice mods (filter, full hks exhaust and chip) it made 288bhp on the rollers.

Also, its a top end monster. 165MPH has been seen on the clock a few times.

Keep away from the 2.0 and 2.5gts non turbo. I donmt see the point in having a non turbo skyline, kind of defeats the object.

If you have the cash GTR is the way to go. 280bhp standard. 2.6 Twin turbo.

Hope that helps mate
