R33- Turbo Vs Non Turbo

[strangy21]

Hi all,

First of all I don't own a R33 yet, I'm doing my research. I'm currently driving a 99' wrx which I drive to Sydney from the Central Coast each day. Considering both the turbo and non turbo R33 and the freeway driving I'm doing I'm wondering which direction to lean. What are the pro's and con's of both vehicles. Any advice will appreciated.

You wouldn't really consider a non turbo would you.

The advantages (too long to list) of the turbo far outweigh the negatives (non existent)

you cant go from a wrx to an NA skyline and feel good about yourself

so much fun to mod, and so much power to be had

Ok starting to see where this is heading. Cheers

So who insures these vehicles? Not gio that's for sure.

What are the turbos like on fuel? Say compared to the wrx? So many questions!!!!!

Ask your questions.

Fuel economy will depend on your mods/driving style. It can be between as good as the NA to 350k's/tank. All depends on how much right foot you use. Generally it will be almost as good as the NA.

Compared to the WRX I would say about the same, I know my friend Doreen has a WRX and her fuel economy can be a bit terrible at times, especially when she gasses it, much the same with the Skyline.

I think the best bet would to be to find a car you are interested in and asking the owner is they will let you test the car for a week or so, most R33 owners are easy going people and I'm sure most would agree.

Drive both and see which one you like?

The difference - one is faster.

Do you like fast or slow cars?

Answer to above question will tell you which one you should buy.
