R33 Gtr Or Series 8 Rx7?

[jetblack]

although i would love to have the rx7, as this will be my everyday car was a tough decision but i think ive decided to go with the r33 gtr cause its alot more reliable and practical.

if it were to be my weekend car i would def pick the series 8 rx7.

thanks for the input guys,

Go the 33 GTR.

More reliable, Looks good, reliable, plus perhaps not as hungry on the fuel. A bit bigger too, im pretty sure the RX7 S8 a tiny.

Shit sorry for the double post.. dunno what happened there...

[GODZ1LLA]

Yep go skyline rx7s are tiny inside and that wankel engine is piss weak...

[BIT SUS]

33 GTRs are tops, otherwise i wouldnt drive one

[R33_NICK]

sounds like the R33 GTR got the most votes. you'll be happy with the GTR as an everyday car

looks wise the rx7 has it all the way. it has a sex appeal that the 33 will never be able to achieve lol

Sure but the Skylines bring a certain notoriety, mystique...it's an image thing. That is kind of sexy in its own way. RX7's won't attract the Cops.

rx7 = Winona Ryder (beautiful but fragile and delicate)

Skyline = Michelle Rodriquez (tough with attitude)

I'm probably one of the biggest GTR fanboys around, but in all seriousness, if a 2 seater was an option for me. it would take a damn damn good GTR to make me not buy Baron's RX7.

This thing is stunning!!!

if only the r33 gtr's looked like that.. ohh heaven.. if i wasnt married to RB engines, id have one in a snap.. but that feels like cheating to me..

rx7 is a super hot bikini model. hot, fit, built proper, tempermental, could let go at any minute, constantly in your wallet.

r33 gtr is your missus. bit bulgy in areas, reasonably good looking, fun to have around, good at most things it does, doesnt ask much, in it for the long haul, trustworthy.

lol, I like your analogy. Going by that theory, my missus (as a Supra) is sexy, has a big ass, is very willful and can be difficult to control. Pretty accurate when I think about it.

ahahaha, i love this misses vs car analogy's, lemme try: my misses is like an r35 gtr, very clever, tame and dosile most of the time but can still set my pants on fire when the mood strikes and with those 2 turbos, sucks pretty hard too lolz.

maybe we should have a thread dedicated to guys comparing their girls to cars; good idea ey!

[NZM.031]

i always name my cars according to their personality and who they remind me of.

does that mean though.. that like the hakosukas and 240z's are like sophia loren and audrey hepburn... bit older, but still has a fire in the belly and would rock your world.. just needs a good sleep afterwards??

and new fandangle cars with all new fancy doodads and gadgets are like 18 yr olds.. great fun, awesome lines, go all night, but not sure about what they want in life, how long they are gonna be around, etc??

ive always said cars are like girls.... and girls are like food. some people like a different meal every night, some like the same old thing.. some like a big meal, some like a lot of little meals.. some plate up well... some dont.. but they are still delicious.

Rx7 being a 2 seater is what lets it down for me imo.

so i'd choose the GTR over it. purely cause of nissan & RB love

just curious, how many kms do you think the r33 gtr could last without a major rebuild? the stock turbos im guessin would be the 1st to go yeh?

You'd have to know what the former owner/drivers were like with their

a) driving habits

b) servicing diligence

Sure...

i) conrods/pistons weren't as strong as a 2JZ

ii) long crankshaft could develop a whip with launches

iii) turbos blades could fragment on high boost

But...

since I treated my old trusty R33 GT-R like...

1) my G/F and not...

2) my mother-in-law,

I got a lot of Kms out of her whilst she was dead stark and received her lubes on time every time.

She was Purple at Midnight too lol

it will still last longer than a rotary at high kms. ive seen GTRs going more than 200,000kms and still going strong especially if you take care of them properly, even the turbos. to me a rotary is like some women: if you dont drive it hard, it whinges and sometimes it wont start because the engines flooded (not what you want for a daily driver and ive seen it happen many times when the car comes in on a tow truck and owners saying it wont start) and if you drive it hard, it still whinges and like i said at 50,000kms or more when driving hard, it might go bang so, to sum up, its unpredictable and doesnt know what it wants to do exactly. while rotarys are good as race cars, its hard to live with it as a daily driver and the GTRs have more successes as a race car.
