Hey everyone - my first post
I am a 19 year old university student on my p's
Just interested in your opinions.
I am going to be purchasing a skyline in the next couple of months(if i am able to find a suitable one) with a budget of about $23k. Options i am considering are a series II R33 gts-t or a r32 gts-t. Yes, all the money is mine, and yes non of it was borrowed
R33 series II- would at my guess be at the limit of my budget not leaving much left over for repairs, mods or anything else except insurance, petrol, odd thing breaking
R32- would have quality modifications and more power but i would also have a large chunk of my money left over for repairs and other mods
I have done my research and know that the R33 gts-t is over the power to weight restrictions but i also know that there are many forum users and others i see on the road who risk it.
1) is the R33 reliable enough to risk spending all of my money on?
2) when it comes to resale values - in your opinion which one would retain value better with the above stated factors considered.?
3) my typical parents are scared of the lack of safety features on R32 - no airbags, abs etc. do you people view them as being worthwhile given my age and my budget?
4) anything else that would aid my decision?
* just so you dont confuse me with the average p plated hoon on the road - in my opinion i am a safe, curtious driver with many advanced driver training hours and a moderate amount of track hours - i leave stupidity and hoonish behaviour for track days(so much fun )
thanks in advance,
thomas
