hey everyone im about to buy a new car and i've decided i would love a skyline. Sadly im only on my p's so i wont be able to have a turbo which i will have to live with but i would like to know a few things about the non-turbo version if anyone can give me a hand, im after general fuel costs, any issues with this model car and any other facts that might help me out it would be much apreciated. Im looking to spend some time modifying the aesthetics and anything i can that wont change the performance and cause defects, just for the record im not a hoon nor do i intend on thrashing it i am just a starting enthusiest and just want to crusie in a nice car.

My R34 GT is getting about 400km on a tank, costing $70 a tank. Im guessing an R33 will be the same, seeing as most the parts they use are the same and compatible with eachother.
R33's dont look that great stock in my opinion, just the roundness on em, but there are decent body kits out there that make em look awesome im not gonna lie.

Wings with R33's suck (from the choices ive seen) unless you get a track wing, but thats why i prefer the R34's look meaner.

Mods you can do without defects:

3" cannon exhaust i believe is the biggest you can go its just under 94db which is legal.
Pod filter, as long as it is secured down, i wouldnt put one in because its just gonna suck warm air in, but if you do, mount it in the actual airbox so you get cool airflow from the front.

You can do other things obviously but they are the most popular, also 18" rims are best to start at, cheap tyres that size.

I havent messed with suspension, can be expensive, if your just gonna get lowered springs then that will be worth it seeing as its just for aesthetics.

      It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.

      I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility

      I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
