oh man, you really gotta feel the 4.0 with some boost. You will most certainly change your mind.

yeah i probably would, but i dont want to be getting into any hassles with it all, and as it is ive spent close to 30k on the car and i dont want to be spending any more to get it going quicker, so its going to be sold and replaced with something legal that i wont have to spend as much on

Good choice mate. A factory turbo car is the go.

And I have owned 2 turbo falcons.

Fair enough mate. It's a bloody nice car, but I can understand why you would want a Skyline. Best of luck with selling it ;)

A twin turbo supra? Are you serious you know the single turbo supras are actually faster than a twin, less lag as though I heard anyway. Anyway if your going to go a skyline go for the gtr, a mate of mine has one and man that thing is fast 206kw at the wheels stock, he put in a new exhaust system and now over 230kw at the wheels plus its 4WD.

you shouldn't have much trouble selling it for that price. It's a really nice looking car with a lot of extras. Chuck it on carsales.com that's your best bet IMO ;)

I'd go a R32 over a R33. 33's are too common. My sister has a R32 GTst and that goes alright. It's wound up to about 12 or 15psi and that goes ok, nothing spectacular but it's got a lot of potential to go faster. And if you hang that thing sideways, compared to a Falcon it feels like a go-kart

You'll find most of the cheap R32 GTRs are the early model ones which I'd steer clear of.

thanks for the advice doug

id love a r34 but $$$$$, im thinking a r32 would be nice as i can pick one up for a good price already modded, and r33 i love the look of especially the series II and i cant pick up a stock turbo one for around 13-15k

R33s are good, but I agree with sphell there, there are too many around. R32 seems like a good option right now, although R34s rule.

You can get a R33 Series 2 for 13-15k? Thats cheap as modded or not, most go for 17-22k. A friend of mine had a 97 S2 imported by a family friend with just exhaust, BOV, stock S2 bodykit and 17x9 rims and that came to 15k (no profit).

Definantly love the series 2 though, a top choice although the insurance excess on them are massive from all the little sik c*nts that keep drifting them into poles...

The only Skylines sold locally in Australia were a bunch of R32 GTR's in the early 90's. They are very rare and go for a lot more than the an imported GTR for that simple fact, otherwise they are the same.

Only 100 GTR's were released by Nissan Australia, and these are still fetching upwards of $40k. All other skylines are grey imports ;) except for the aussie built R31s of course, from 86 to 91 ;)

That’s probably why every single turbo supra ive seen is faster than singles; they’ve all been worked alot more. But as I said I was told they are better, guess I was told ИИИИ. Skylines are better anyway, id say go for an r32 import then.
