ok heres my problem. Either the end of this year or early next year i wanna buy another car. I have to sell one of my VLs first, no problem there, my problem is what car do I buy?

My options;

option 1: (1989) 15 yo R32 GTR.

option 2: Series 2 (93 - 96) 180sx

option 3: Series 2 (96 - 98)R33 skyline gts-t

Which one? Please take into consideration their features and most of all their reliability and average condition.

personally id say the 33 gtst

most gtrs are in good nick and all, but the really good ones will be goin to other countries now, specially with our import laws

180sx are startin to get to the bottom of the barrel someone was tellin me, so i dunno,

and theres my personal choice, ive always loved the r33

some hate it, i love it

just to let you know R32 gtr are 15 yo next year no compliance is needed and you can bring in pretty much anything that will pass a road worthy ...

yeah saw that. See that white race spec 32 gtr only went for 14,900? One came through this morning was stock and very neat it was around 15 grand ....

    • Anything above ~9.5V is acceptable. The higher the better, but it will almost always drop to at least 10.5V, if not lower, even with a new big battery and everything else being good. 9.76 is not a concern. If it goes below 9, you'd be sure that there's a problem with either the battery or the connections.
    • It's new almost. Under a year old i think and I've tested it twice at supercheap
    • Glue the head from a Pez dispenser on it. Goofy, or Winnie the Pooh, so something.
    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
