hi

i need some help in buying two skylines. one skiline is for my little bro who will be on he's p's.

and the other is for me for i dont realy care on the power but i dont mind the kick.

iam after r33's but not sure on the years.

is there any skyline r33s with turbo that a p plater can drive in victoria?

is it better to buy off a car dealer in australia were i can test it out etc. or import them througth a company?

.iam very mix up on which is best to spend more and have less worries or the cheaper way?

i have been trying to do the research and i been greating just crap in information and verations of r33s

P platers cant drive any R33's that are factory turbocharged in victoria

The R33s are newer = better.

The only reason why some consider R32 better is cos they are smaller (crappier too ) car

Your buying him a skyline ?

Have you considered a silvia SR20de?

[sky high]

r32s are our last thing were going to loook at but they do look good done up properly

[sky high]

i love it but my bro says that it is missing that oomph that little something

and he says it looks like a skyline

but i love it

lbfalcon maybee you should come to Victoria before you start throwing the laws around. That law wont be in place till next year and after the NSW Death Toll on P plater Drivers theres a chance it may never come in... but for now you can drive turbo cars in Victoria the only problem is Power to weight ratio.

P platers can drive R32, R33 not sure about R34 though having 206kw.. but i have seen a fair few P platers driving them around.

a stock R33 is over the power to weight limit. therefor a p-plater in victoria cannot drive one legally. end of story.

You might want to read his post properly before you tell him not to 'throw laws around'.

He is 100% spot on. NO factory turbo R33 can be driven by a victorian p-plater. They are over the power to weight limit. period.

i think i will just buy him a stock none turbo to save him getting pulled over all the time

but he can allways put one on later any way

it will be safer for him any way

thanks

R32 turbo's are legal to drive on P's as far as I know but still wouldnt be reccomended as a first car.

Don't by a non-turbo expecting to turbocharge it later, you'l regret it. Better to sell it and buy a turbo model.

lbfalcon is correct. R33's are over the power to weight ratio. I was pulled over for it when I was on my P's.

if your getting a R33 get a Series 2, have ABS and air bag..plus more importantly looks more modern....

try going for 40th aniversary model and Ho...forgot to tell you, if you follow the skyline scene the R33 value has plummeted......i mean gone down like mad.......so great time to buy....

got GTST S2 for 16500 (4 months ago).....and love it...

i think the r33 is a much better GT car than the R32 and silvia.

[sky high]

some one sent me a pm about buying and told me to go for the 1996 models

i dont mind the R32's but i rather a new car because i'm driving a '90 EA falcon S pack atm

but i pre had a VL witch was a dream untill it blowen up on the freeway

ps i wasn't speeding lol dam lemon

made grate juice stanes on the road tho

but i'm not sure what R33 i want

eg... turbo, non turbo...

btw do the R33 come with semi/automatic?

ABS is an option....its not standard on S2's

you may wanna learn your laws before you try correct him also...

R33's are ILLEGAL to drive. the p platers you see driving them, are driving them ILLEGALLY.

Non-turbos get harrassed by the police just as much.

comments like these shit me and the amount of slurs coming from r33 owners on this forum suprises me.

Not everyone wants to follow the crowd like a tool and buy the cheapest S1 burgandy r33.

A big mystery as to why the r33 are dropping price

r33's are illegal for p-platers but they still tend to drive them. Although with the new p-plate laws next year the cops may get more strict on the power/weight law.

I suggest to look into an r32 if he would like to be legal.

Well maintained r32's have been floating around 13-15k dollar value for many years and havent had any major decline as of yet.

Good luck in your search

how is your comment any better than his?

The amount of R33 bashing from R32 owners on this site is the real joke.

But how dare the R33 owners argue back and defend their choice of car...

fair enough i lashed out cause im sick of hearing all the slander towards the r32's

If the r33's would want to argue at least put some evidence as to why they are crap. I wouldnt have over-reacted if the poster at least stated his reason as to why.

The original poster seems to be now deciding over both models and a comment like that wouldnt be helping. So why dont i post a comment worth the exact value as the slander in regards to the r32
