can i get an r33 gtst skyline for $17500

[drewecrome]

hey guys, my name is Drewe Crome and i am in the market for an R33 Gts-t skyline, Manual of course. I have a budget of $19500 but i want to have bout $2000 for mods, do u think i could get one for $17500 that is decent. Also i was wondering would a 180sx with aqn exhaust beat, an R33 gtst with an exhaust , no other mods, and also what type of power does a stock R33 pump out.

thanks for your time,

Drewe.

yes.

i hope you're factoring in insurance with that 19500

they like to rape us

Have a look around and dont rush it. Im sure you can get a decent R33 for that price. Good luck.

[chaos]

look in the trading post plenty in there for the price range and avoid dealerships cause yeh u will pay an arm and leg for any decent 33

hey yeah i have thought bout insurance, so mumsies and daddy are gonna put it in their name and me just on the insurance, so i hope that will cut down the costs, so does anyone know how many kw a stock r33 has, and if it would beat a stock 180sx or not.

thanks again .

if your listed chances are it wont as they usually get the estimate with the youngest driver on the agreement

[drewecrome]

yeah, nrma will do it it will cost me $1300 a year and a huge excess if i crash coz im under 25

[sammus]

i thought putting your mum/dad down on the insurance did **** all... that's why they have 'age of youngest driver' in the forms... can someone correct me as i'm stressing over insurance now

[chaos]

i thought it was aswell and quite a few people on the forums have said that they take the history of the youngest driver and use it for their assessment

[sammus]

...because a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.

ahah so lame

RPS13 (SR20DET; the 2 litre variant) 180SX has about 145kW @ the flywheel, and the R33 GTS-t about 180kW @ the flywheel. Though the R33 is heavier; and not many cars are stock. So it'd be a pretty close one (think: 0-100 in ~6.3s)

[drewecrome]

yeah well im not sure why but when my dad rang up they said the premium goes up but its still gonna be insured so i dont care. but ive gotta pay the shitty premium, that sucks but hey its better than having a burnt ut skyline in my back yard, wouldnt u agree??

[chaos]

hehe i got my guess right

[chaos]

i guessed the 33 was 175kw and the 180 was bout 150kw

[omp]

An SR 180 would give a R33 a good run for it's money......

go to the bottom of the page and view the pics, this is my new skyline that i bought 3weeks ago for only $15000, its got a fair few mods(both engine and body with all extras) only just done 90000kms and is immaculate inside and out(10months rego), so theres an example of what u can get if u look around. if u want to know more about everything that has been done to it, pm me and i'll type it all out 4 u.

good luck they r great cars.

This cant not be done i know this for a fact i called up about 5 insurance places and all said the youngest driver must be put 1st. So if your age is about 17/18 or 19 u will be looking to pay around $4,000 a yr for FULL COVER and $700 a yr for 3rd party + fire and thief

Also 17.5k will get you a nice skyline i pay about that in Dec lastyr and got myself a r33 93 model gts-t with a good list of mods, bodykit and sound system so just shop around and u can find a good deal

[Kaido_RR]

im pretty sure 180sx will beat a r33 with same mods, this has been talked about heaps just do a search on s13 or 180 v's r33 and u will find a good lot of info
