I hate it how people immediately suggest 'get a turbo'. If he wanted to know about the price of a turbo, he would have asked. I don't know how many answers I have had answered with the response 'get a turbo'. I personally don't like to have to go into the details about why I got an NA everytime I post a question.

I love having a GTS non-turbo Skyline R33 for a number of reasons:

1) just coz it's a Skyline - it looks great, sounds great, and has plenty of power and acceleration to get me away from the lights quickly and legally (i.e. hitting the speed limit (or thereabouts ) quicker than most cars around you from a standing start is no problem). I still get plenty of stares wherever I drive, and all I've done to the car is add some 17" wheels to it.

All up, to get the car on the road, complied, registered, with new 17" wheels and high performance tyres, it has cost me about $15,500.

2) Non-turbos are cheaper to run (I still use the expensive Shell Optimax, but it lasts a lot longer than if I were running a turbo), and from what I read in reviews, if something is gonna go wrong with your Skyline, it'll be the turbo.

3) Insurance is a HEAP less (although some will still only offer third party fire & theft, not full comprehensive).

If you're looking to take your Skyline to the track, then a non-turbo is a waste of money, as it is fairly common knowledge that it would take a hell of a lot more money to get your non-turbo race-worthy than if you started with a GTSt.

Likewise, if you're looking to drag everyone off the lights, you are probably looking more for a turbo, but don't expect to keep your points/licence/car for very long anyway if you're street racing.

Well that's my rant anyway. Good luck antonahu!

well i'm with young and k00l and am paying $2600 for a non turbo r33 with bodykit and 19" wheels so you can try them but for me i found it really hard coz like you said no one wants to touch imports. i would be easier to insure a v8 hah

The R33 GTS (2.5L not the 2L) is a great car. Had one for the best part of 2 years and unless you're driving around with Ts or Rs you won't notice it's power shortfalls. The driving position/handling/dynamics of the car are very good and you cannot beat the insurance discount for the younger drivers.

I highly recommend one if a) it's your first Skyline B) young driver c) can't throw too much cash at it (initially and ongoing).

I borrowed an R33 GTR recently (8-10 months after having my N/A written off and driving around in a fairmont) - everything was still second-nature. So go for the N/A drive it around for a couple of years and then buy a GTR.
