try buying off a forum member as USUALLY it would be better maintained. its really upto you how you want to go about it. if you want to grow with your car and mod it to your taste then do that, or if you dont mind finishing off someones work then yeah haha.

personally, from experience i would buy a car modded already, as ive bought 2 stock skylines which ive spent a fair bit on both, if i was to buy another one id get one already done :thumbsup:

at least get the basics, exhaust, suspension, fmic, air filter & ur off to a good start already.

oh and ive had a s2 gtst, its a realllly good car mate good choice :D

how much are you willing to spend all up??? IMO if your willin to spend a bit of cash id by a stock one and do exactly everything you want to do it. more personalized i guess... 13,000 not a bad price for a S2 stock. how many Ks?

in my opinion i would prefer the one with no mods but that's just me i'm so finicky about my car if i was living in the states i would have a fully maintained lowrider

FACT

BUT i think you would be happier with the modded one to be honest, from what i can gather, that's what you hear when you listen to your heeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrtttttttt....

....yyyyyyyyyyyeah

best way to decide this, is flip a coin, and deal with it! if you're unhappy with the outcome of the coin, then you will have your answer! don't let some REJECT on sau decide this for you,

JUST FLIP THE COIN!

Why do newys on the Skyline scene always go straight for the 33's :P

order of greatness:

32GTR - The orignal godzilla, RB26 for under $20k in some cases

31GTS-R - Rare as they come

33GTR - Nice prices, fairly rare (around Perth) also.

34GTR - Awesome style, but a bit pricey

How much you wanna spend on car? Cause if you got 18000 to spend and u spend 13000 on car plus insurance (guessing young male) and good alarm system $3000 you wont be left with too much.

Whether a car is boosted or stock you cant entirely tell its history so buying any second hand car is a gamble. Do the usual checks when looking at car and be patient!

I would reccommend if your a noob with skylines by a stock one and get to know everything you can about them and their mods. Then when you are ready, do it up and you have a car which is uniquely yours.

Just my Personal opinion, all the best on your skyline journey

get a 32GTR.

if ya can find a real good one 18 or otherwise it might cost ya alot more...

R31? wtf

back to to the topic, 18k for a 33 gtst is too pricey

i'd get the stock 13k and do it up IMO

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
