First off yes sorry for opening another thread but would reali like some advice.

Im not sure wheather or not im doing the right thing. And i feel like im getting cold feet. Just need a bit of advice about the two cars.

First off at the moment i own a GTST SERIES 2 R33. It has a perfect body and interior.

204.5kws at the wheels

Stainless Steel turbo back exhaust

POD

Power FC and controller

Apexi Boost Controller

Front and Back strut braces

Big Intercooler

Aliminium Radiator

AVS light weight rims

Runs perfect

I enjoy it dont get me wrong but if i was to keep it id mod it a bit, most prob get slides high flow and some injectors.

Now the car im looking at is a GTR R32 1990

Its got new HKS GT-ss turbos

Titaniam Exhaust

R33 GTR seats

HUge light wieght rims

Stock everything else

Things i would do to it is new computer (if i can find one a power fc and controller, pods and boost controller)

Needs a bit of attention to the paint, needs new tyres.

Now ive never reali driven a GTR before and i dont kno if loosing a perfect car will be made up by the experiance of owning a GTR?

Is there reali that much differance in driving the two?

I wanted to one day use the car at the drags if adelaide ever gets one! soi yer which would be better

Its my daily driver car also

just a bit worried that im doing the wrong thing and i wont enjoy it as much.

i prefer the 33 shape and comfort but im drawn to the GTR badge...

any help advice or anything would reali reali be appreciated

just a bit confused about what to do... and loosing a hell of alot of sleep over it

Thanks

Adam

There is no simple answer here... its a matter of personal opinion.

Drive both then you will know which you enjoy more.

Personally... (and I will probly get flamed for this but...) there are a lot of "nice"33s getting around, there is no substitute for a GTR.

You must weigh this up with practicality of everyday driving, maintenance costs etc

Good luck.

do the math on repairs insurance and extra fuel you will use do to sweet sweet sound of RB26 on full tap

its not always just about the driving

ask Ben Grim32 he's done 2x engine rebuilds due to unforseen circumstances

insurance is roughly the same slightly more for the gtr

but fuel i was expecting to be roughly the same once i push the 33 out to around 270kws and the gtr being roughly 250kws... yet expecting the gtr to be quicker

Also being an older car i guess it will have less comfort features. Worse rid, less safty features etc

After having a R33GTST s'2 and a 2000 wrx and 94R32GTR sitting in the drive way at the same time, I still have the GTR . BUT the wrex and R33 cost bugger all in maintanance. Take a GTR for a drive though and you will want one.

There goes the spare cash (hip pocket(OUCH)).

Sorry , hate to make things worse. LOL

i feel like going out for a bit of a drive tonight... meet up somewhere? =P

not sure how much driving you might get to do... (damn insurance wont cover you if something goes wrong) but its better than nothing??
