ginger Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hi Guys and girls. Im looking at spending about 15k on a skyline, but it has to be non turbo as im a p plater. Just wondering who has one and what did you choose, gts or gts-4. And also the best place to pick one up, either private sale or dealer, or any of your mates that want to sell. Thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187328-gts-or-gts4/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLR33 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 i would go the gts all day more fun n less dramas then gts4 less weight n cheaper . buy private, heaps of good ones on the net Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187328-gts-or-gts4/#findComment-3381503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_weevil Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 GTS ftw mate. Unless you plan on going to the snow every year, the GTS4 would be the choice. 15k would be overkill - but good to see you have got $$ saved - r32 and r33 gts models can get quite cheaply, 7k to 10k is a "general"range Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187328-gts-or-gts4/#findComment-3381566 Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybarge Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 yeah go the GTS, it'll be cheaper and for that amount you should be able to pickup a 4-door non turbo R34 The R33 GTS4, which I guess you are looking at, is very very heavy and slow, the R32 only have a 4wd turbo GTS4, otherwise if you were lucky you could find the 2.6L Autech skyline, GT-B i think it was called, 4wd rb26de, quite quick apparently, but you won't get one for cheap :S and it'll be too hard to find, i don't know of anyone with one in Australia or New Zealand :S So either R33 GTS or R34, depending on budget and if you want 2-door coupe ro 4-door sedan Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187328-gts-or-gts4/#findComment-3382670 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignuz Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Talk about timing..

R-SPEC Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I wonder if you could get a non turbo R34 for $15k? thats wat i was thinking personally i'd never spend that much on a non turbo skyline unless maybe an r34 if you have to get a non turbo i remember seeing a fresh import r34 n/a manual clean good Ks going for 16,000 on another forum and this was a while back. don't bother with the R33s dude they are gutless, gts or gts4 same shit. good cruisers though...

GoldZilla Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 You haven't specified if you prefer one particular model of Skyline, but if you like R32s you might also want to keep an eye out for the GTS25, which is a non-turbo RB25DE. It has the advantage of a bit more torque than the RB20DE in the R32 GTS, and is still P-plate friendly. Otherwise, if you're happy to spend the whole 15K on just the car, and wait a while to save up for other mods, then I'd personally go the R34 GT.
