Well, for starters. Are you looking for an R33 GTS or an R33 GTS-T?

GTS are non-turbo. GTST's are single turbo. Do some googling or reading on this site and you'll start to learn the basics. :]

No, one is naturally aspirated and the other is turbocharged. Seeing as you want a turbocharged Skyline, I would assume you have an unrestricted license. But my advice to you is to learn about the different models of Skyline before you actually go out and buy one. Make sure you have a read of that thread I copied and pasted in my previous post as it will show you what to look for in particular when buying a Skyline. This forum has a lot of information, you just have to find it.

Lurk moar!

Ok yer I want the gtst at this stage and yer I get my full lisence in 2 months so looking round to get one for then... But yes I have learnt a fair bit from just reading afew forums and that.. Everyone seems to know so much it's great..

And just wondering how the maintenance is with them and parts if something does go wrong... Is it expensive?

there is no GTST model of R33.

GTS25T.

^^ pedantic much¿

[045HOW]

a GTS skyline made in Japan has a 2 litre RB engine.

and yes just a bit. proper info is my love

The GT-R is the only R33 worth buying

[lookingskyhigh]

yer the gts25t is the one i was looking at... and they good cars by your experiance? like for an older car?

and isnt the gtr more expensive??

they are way better than any GTS and yes the GTR is more expensive.

just have to choose carefully as skylines tend to have many many owners in this country.

give them premium oil and premium fuel.

service regularly and if there is any problems check AFM,CAS,Coilpacks,ignitor(only if series 1 as series 2 engine has separate ignitors in the coilpacks) and 02 sensor.
