It's time 4 me to sell my current car (VS Calais S2) and upgrade to something with sum balls. My 1st car was a '94' R33, but i could not afford the insurance thats y i bought a holden. Now i'm getting more money at work and i was wondering what peoples opinions would be on whether to buy a skyline (r33) or S15????

I'm looking at spending a 20k-32k.

opinions plz

get the S15, you can make it go faster for cheaper, and if you blow it up its less to fix it. Its newer and looks sexier.

Then again for 32k you could probably get an '93 R33 GTR

s15...

wow - unanimous from a skyline board to buy an s15 - funny :D

I've noticed there are a shitload of 33 up in qLD, but a loss less S15 - in VIC its opposite.

You're probably more looking at between a s14 if you want a similar price though. I mean they're really not *that* different, just the s15 looks better.

With the insurance though you'll get bent over either way. I remember asking about insurance on an s15 a while ago - it was about the same as a 33, even for an oz spec.

At age 18 you don't have much chance of insurance at all on *any* form of turbo car.

S15 is alot more than an R33

lol, my 33 looks pretty sweet actually, i will take some new pics for your pink excel driving self :mad:

Im just over it at the moment, ive been driving the BMW alot more, even saw the great gordo in it... lol

S15 is just a fresher car than a 33, add in a vertex kit and 18'' rims and thats a damn good looking car...

u might get a shit s15 for ya budget and a clean skyline

insurance is more xpensive for a s15 compared to my 95skyline mate..

S15 is a nice car and a newer car although u might not like the drive to go from a 6cyl to 4cyl.

i was also thinking of selling my skyline to get a s15 but then I was said fck it spend money on my current car....

I would say its a personal opinion drive both of them and see what ya like....

skyline if ya spend $28g u would get a clean skyline with some mods!

i will be looking at an s15 in the future.... :D

Definetly s15. Insurance should be lower because its Australian Delivered

this is wrong. Insurance is more because it is australian delivered. If you are going to get an s15 go the JDM s15. You get more power stock and the insurance is cheaper for the import as there are less of them on the road so less have been crashed. I got a quote for an aussie s15 spec r and a jdm spec r from the same company at the same time and the aussie spec r was going to cost 1k more to insure for the year....... :P

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
