MrGTST Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I think its going to come down to a personal choice for most people... I would say VL ... but I am biased owning 2 of them before moving up to a skyline.... again its personal preference, but I like the style of the VL a bit more then the DR30 which makes my choice easy...

boj01 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 After owning a DR30, I would probably say the VL, as parts are hard to find for the Skyline, and they are as old as 24 years this year.

Boof Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I've got a DR30, as much as i love driving the thing, its a pain for getting parts, heaps expensive when you do find things, so unless you've got a budget behind you, and are not willing to trash shit outta them and crash them you'll be right... If its your first car, prolly go the VL, just due to ease of parts... So glad i've got my dr though and will never sell her Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/110521-vl-or-dr30/#findComment-2038372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross80 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 or what wldcrd said, cause the first one gets trashed anyway. We all say we wont wreck it but im yet to see anyone not. Little bro wanted to copy me and get a 33 for his first car but wisely listioned to me and got a laser. That laser was sold to the wreckers a few months back for $100!

D-limo Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 If your considering a VL you probably don't deserve a DR30.. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/110521-vl-or-dr30/#findComment-2052604 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRO-L20 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 If your considering a VL you probably don't deserve a DR30.. Owned.. Adam, you sped, you do realise the price difference of the two cars.. is A LOT.. R31 owns VL anyday.. Remember - Holdens don't drift.

ctjet Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 dont let people start talking you into R31's... its just a shitter looking version of a VL go the VL, you can "dose" around with the rest of the Bell st Maccas crew Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/110521-vl-or-dr30/#findComment-2056893 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross80 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 not bad not bad. Are they are lighter/heavier car then say a 32 or 33? Should get a vh and put a 'and justice for all sticker' on the back window. Play pantera really load drive really recklessly and yell out the window and death stare people at the lights. And have countless amounts of empty beer bottles on the floor and f**k it might as well drive pissed aswell! hahahhaahaha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/110521-vl-or-dr30/#findComment-2057753 Share on other sites More sharing options...
