Skyline R33 GTR.. Mmmmm...

Guys,

I am seriously considering this baby: http://www.smartycars.com/calder/det...6&Dealer_ID=29

Any comments on the Skyline?? A few friends have GTR's and they are a seriously quick when tuned to around 450bhp.. Or will I kill myself attempting to drive the GTR like an Evo across the Yorkshire moors? ops:

..so not to scare anyone, I will hopefully be keeping the Evo too..

Very nice! You got too much money mate!!!! :shock:

that looks awesome mate right colour everything awesome, but I would never buy one they are shit reliablity wise ops:

It looks a good one, i love that colour ( phew oof: bit out the way).

I looked at R33 GTR before i got my yellow 7, i wasn't too impressed with the drive to be honest, it really felt like a cruiser. With R33 i'd always wish i had a R34 too...

but i also saw a 03 (i think) plate car badged as a 350GT skyline a couple of months ago, i've never seen anything similar, it looked like a bigger 350z, is there a skyline after the R34?

Dral - I would love an R34.. But I have a feeling I will be disappointed with its overall drive.. I have been driving the Evo everyday [short 10 mile runs] and it still blows me away.. :shock:

There is a new shape Skyline.. Its shit though..

I think you would find the drive dull, i was quite keen to get one but the R33 i drove felt very mundane, it was straight line quick, but dull.

If you've got that much spare cash, how about a DC5 integra, they're not as quick but from the cars i've driven only a V-Tec honda comes close to (or beats :shock: ) an evo to drive. Cheap to run too.

I love them Bazza, that's what I really wanted before I bough my 7, that colour too, I never got round to driving one though!
The thing that swayed me was that I could buy a 2 year old low mile evo for the same money as a 7 or 8 year old skyline with 50k on the clock. Once I'd driven an evo, the decision was made. Just wish they made a better noise...

That looks a superb example though, how many miles has it done?. If you can afford that and the evo, you must have deep pockets mate!! :shock: I'm not just talking about the purchase cost, but servicing, insurance and of course, tuning.

Very nice mate! I've done a quick pic for the lazy ones on here!!
