well this has been covered a lot, and a search can help you with many OPINIONS, but its all up to YOU

comparing stock cars...

difference between R32 gtst and R33 gtst:

R32 is 2.0L turbo, lighter

R33 is 2.5L turbo, heavier

--> as a result, the R33 is slightly faster, but the R32 handles slightly better

then it comes down to looks...

which one do you like better?

I personally think the R33 looks fat and rounded, while the R32 is sleek and more sporty. Others disagree and love the R33 and hate the R32

then it comes to modifications...

do you plan to do any?

From what has been posted on these forums it seems R33's make power a bit easier than the R32's for the same money.

Now, for the insurance...

insurance will be HIGH for both cars. if you are in melb forget the R33 as its illegal to drive on your P's, and any insurance will be voided if you are at fault in an illegal car...

Full comp might be $3k at a guess

3rd party about $700ish at a guess

under parents name? no idea. not good for your rating though as you don't build one when under parents name (i think)

and finally... you are 17 so please be careful on the road with whatever car you decide to purchace.

So if you have listened to the above, then listen to this:

DON'T DRIFT.... pelase! you won't afford the tyres, replacement engine and body parts, and you will damage either yourself or others whilst trying on the street. when you are older and have experience on the road then other manouvers mgiht come into play then.

schumacker didn't drive a ferrari at the age of 17 did he? he learnet first - he crashed, broke bones, learned from his mistakes. then when he was older he ruled the world!

have fun,

Warren.

ok well firstly, lookin at your age, and you are still young, and im guessin you are limited in money. so i would suggest a r32, only cause its cheaper.. It all depends on your budget, so let us know how much you wanna spend.. also what are you intentions in owning a skyline, like you want it only for drags, driftin, crusin etc etc??? U said you wanna know which drifts better.. I assume, stock vs stock, a r32..

If you wanna the difference between a r32 and r33, its been covered a billion times, so i suggest you search..

It all comes down to personal taste in the end and your budget..

hmm about insurance, best is to ask the companies.. would be same if u have a r32 or r33.. well also the fact if its a turbo or non-turbo..

hope that helps a little..

    • Can't see that being a thing.
    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
