R33 N00b ;)

[iamvinhy]

Thinking of buying my 1st car soon and was looking into the Skyline market instead of the Civic market ..

Noticed the R33, non-turbo automatic which are usually a good price (10k - 16k)

Just letting everyone know, only want one for looks - not for racing etc .. lol

So turbo, manual etc isnt really an issue for me .. Any opinions for buying one for my 1st car?

Oh and im 17 btw

[JieLine]

well the NA r33, will def save u money in insurance, i think u can buy a NA auto r33 for less than 10

[iamvinhy]

Yeah I'd found them for 10-15k on carsales and some were modified (looks) quite nicely and some with low kms too .. is there anything wrong with having one? My friend said they're heaps heavy & go slow etc .. obviously hasnt put me off lol

as i know turbo/non turbo or manual/automatic cost the same, for R33 GTS25t u would pay the same like for the non turbo.

so u dun't need 2 use ure car 4 races but u can have a LOT of fun with it and if u want it 4 show, its better with turbo 'coz if u go down from the gas ure bov makes pretty sounds =D

i would recomment R33 GTS25t and could also recomment a good importer if u like

had have a R33GTS25t automatic for 2000 USD but had have 160 000Km condition was ok, clean interior

I think I'll have it for 3-4years just until I have my full license, and I agree that turbo would be good for show too but you arent aloud to have turbo on your L's or P's in New South Wales

Oh and just for the record, after one exactly or similar to this:

17 years old? Go the NA. Expect to pay around 14k (give or take 1K/1.5K). The NA will be good to get practice on - jumping straight onto a turbo might be fatal if your not careful. Shop around - or look at the importers like allblitz, jspec etc. And post up pics when you do get one

[Freddy Kruger]

if your after looks and not after go get a R33 GTS4 NA and 4wd...

[Guest IH8VEE8S]

ok look here....

if you want a turbo and end up getting an NA, you will regret it! trust me on that 1

i bought a 93 R33 GTS4 auto not too long ago in very good condition and low Ks, only ended up costing me 7.5grand all up but it was off a family friend so that helped a bit lol.

i do regret getting it though coz i started off with a wrx lol and well.....theres a huge difference between em. but since its your first car then go for a NA R33, still get the looks, comfort, etc

best of luck with whatever you get

Bump! your an idiot if u get a turbo when ur under 20 yo anyway.

[**JaR**]

u calling me an idiot?

so like you hit 20 and you fully know how to handle a turbo car. lol. ok. sure.

i tried to make sense of what you wrote....didnt have much luck

you think non turbo/turbo and auto/manual cost the same? LOL

and

"ts better with turbo 'coz if u go down from the gas ure bov makes pretty sounds"

but then again... you are special

seriously, statistics show and prove every year, more teenagers lose control of high powered cars than any other age bracket.

if not having a turbo car cuts the death rate by 70%+ then there shouldnt be 18-20 yos driving turbos... simple.

[**JaR**]

lol dezz. doses bro doses!!!

[hobbsy]

more teenagers lose control of cars of any power than any other age bracket

Precisely... letting a teen drive a turbo or a V8 is like giving a can of red bull to a 5 yo straight after drinking a glass of coke...

I agree with freddy on the R33 GTS4 quite unique . Although extremely heavy and slow, not good for skids if you are bit of a terry. But otherwise should be able to find a n/a r33 for under $10K.

I think the GTS4's come with 5 stud hubs too, another benefit if you are looking for wheels.
