S15 200SX v Present Skyline

[streamer]

Im presently drivin a R33 GTS25 NA...

94..and im looking to prob change the bottom end to a RB30 and turbo it and etc etc..i have a budget of 10k.

or

Shd i sell the Skyline and buy a S15?

pls no one suggest sell and buy a GTS-t.

the choices are to either stick with what ive got or sell and buy s15.

thanks guys!

As good as an RB30DET skyline would be, I voted S15 as you'll probably get better resale on it. Then again if you're planning on keeping both cars a while, then the R33 RB30DET could make financial sense. Plus the S15 is an awesome car.

Also, do you like low down torque or a little lag? That's another factor to put into the equation.

votes speak for themselves. You will open a door to a whole lot of little problems if you do the conversion and it will eventually cost you much more than you expected, and of course resale...

go s15. you wont regret it. With a few simple mods they pull seriously hard, and u'll have a big grin on your face after driving an NA car..

Go the S15, awesome car, SR20 eng pulls hard and responds well to minor mods (exhaust, boost) - then fit some decent sus, or better still buy one that has the sus done, and the bloody things handle like go carts - excellent cars.

Odd choices, but given them I would vote to sell and get the S15. But by the same token, if it were the other way around, ie you had a non-turbo Silvia and the options were to either turbo it or buy a GTS-t, I would vote for getting the GTS-t.

Out of interest, why would you want to even consider turbo'ing your own car considering the extra expense and hassles?

Sorry to burst your bubble but the R33 is not the 'present skyline'.. the R34 is.. it costs between $35-$45k and the model start was born in 1998 or 99.

[pentae]

Oh, and I voted for the S15.. now if it was a decision between the S15 and the R34 gtst.. that would be a very tough choice.

[streamer]

pentae: present meaning the one im presently driving

mine is too old t be even regarded as being in the present

hehehe

[pentae]

ohhh okay of course. get the S15 for sure, or get an R34 gtst

Sorry to burst your bubble but the R33 is not the 'present skyline'.. the R34 is.. it costs between $35-$45k and the model start was born in 1998 or 99.

the present skyline is actually the v35. :shake:

[pentae]

true.. who gives a rats ass about the v35? its a family car.

[streamer]

can we add to that survey thing a Subaru WRX EVO IV...

2000 model? that seems within reach

hehehehe

thanks

[Steve]

Buy the s15, there is no choice:D

[IOWNU]

Its R34 GT-T not GTST buddy. They dumped the S.

[Guilty]

lol i was just about to point that out ali..=)

[pentae]

just buy a VW Beetle.

[akeenan]

true.. who gives a rats ass about the v35? its a family car.

you wont be saying that when the gtr finally gets released. i wouldnt mind one, but yes they do look family like

[pentae]

true.. but the GTR won't be called the "V35" its being branded seperately as a GTR.. and dropping any conontations with skyline. Good job Nissan!

I bet those kids will still figure out how to kit a v35 into a r35 gtr though...

The coupe V35 looks mad. I'd buy one in a second if they were cheaper. Same engine as the 350Z. Easy to turbo as there are common parts from the VQ30DET. I'd be very happy with one in my garage.
