Please dont kill me!

[deadushki]

Guys, I am still deciding on what car to buy, i still have time though, so its alright!

First, i was thinking R32 GTR, but then people on this forum changed my mind. Now i am debating between 98/99 R34 GT-T or a 00/02 S15. Both could be bought for around 30k mark. What do you guys think? I like S15, but it only has 147kw and everyone drives them. At the same time, it would be a much younger car compared to '98 GT-T.

Any comments, please!

Cheers, Vlad.

I'd love to, mate, but im looking for something a bit younger then that, hence all my thinking. I want something relatively fast, uncommon and young.

deadushki, what turned you off an R32 GTR? if its maintenance cost etc, then an R33 GTR is gonna be no different.

S15's are perfect for guys new into the jap sportscar world, buy a local Spec S and mod it rather than waste money importing a Spec R. Because its a locally sold car, your insurance company will love you too.

between R34 GTt and S15, is a hard call, I'd pick the R34, but don't count your eggs on the S15 being more prolific, There's a shitload of compliance shops applying for R34 compliance, meaning it'll eventually get as common as the R33.

You reckon its gonna be as bad as R33? then i should think twice! :confused:

[Nozila]

why do you use the term bad when referring to the r33?

personally, id go the 34.

[shonen]

What funkeymonkey said is true.....

but I dont think it will get as common as asshol...I mean R33s...

PS

No hate mail thanks...I love all skylines....just prefer and drive a 34....

On a more serious note, I was going through the same thing you were about 2 years ago when I bought my car......I wanted to build a replica of the HKS D1 drift silvia and was looking like crazy for a red one (I LOVE the vertex kit on them)....but to no avail...but the main turning point for me was that insurance was some $2k cheaper for the 34 compared to the s15 and thats for a locally sold one too.

As I mentioned before it was a choice between s15 and GTT but other contenders were EVO 4 and 02 sti.

Insurance was something like this

Sti and s15 -> $5.5k

Evo -> $4.5k

GTT -> $3.1K

hence I bought the gtt and havent looked back since....

[Nozila]

ur kidding an sti cost approx. 5.5k to insure.

how much are gtr's then?

[predator]

but as more come onto the road... more will be involved in accidents and theft.. premiums will go up. Unfortunately its the nature of any import, as they become more popular.

S15 and R34 will take a bit of a whack in the pants in the next couple of years, but if you are happy with that, then go for it. It's probably no different to any other car that age.

I found that the S15s were a lot smaller inside and I was struggling to comfortably drive one. ( but keep in mind that I am 6"4 )

[funkymonkey]

6'4"? yikes, can you fit into an R34? or is it a matter of "can't splike my hair up today, driving the R34".

[riggaP]

Go the 34...

if i can fit into an R32 (i'm 6'4" also) then anyone can fit into an R34!

[racsov500]

r34 its less common, if thats what you want..which is what i want
