But a R33 with 30k in it will be lots more fun to drive, It wont look as good ect but for that kind of budget you could have somthing with over 300rwkw, great brakes and great suspension. So it really depends on what he intends to do with it. If it was a daily driver and occasional fun car i would, like you say, choose the 34, but if it was track ect i would rather have the modded 33
