Hi all,

I'm interested in both 180sx and skyline R33

I'm currently leaning towards skyline.

Don't get me wrong, both cars are good.

I would like to assume that the skyline is more expensive to maintain.

But how much more?

which is better in term of value for money, performance to cost/maintainence ...

comfort wise definitely skyline.

found a 1995 skyline with hks coils, pod filter, 134000km selling for $16k

. is the car expensive?

(the car is basically stock)

Thankz

- I think for a pretty much stock car you should be able to get a better price than that.

- Have you looked at the S2 R33, imo they look better + are newer..

- you have options whether you want one already sold in Aus - or a fresh import..

- When getting a skyline it will be a newer car generally than a 180sx however will be slightly more expensive..

- pretty much comes down to personal preference..

- i prefer safety over old cars - hence getting skyline with ABS and Dual Airbags.. but that's a personal reason..

- You also want to look at resale price.. if you put an extra 30,000kms on it than your resale will drop..

- are you wanting private or dealer..

If you want down right balls... go a 180sx.

They look hot and go hard, simply because they are lighter than all the skyline range!

If you want interior comfort then a Skyline is worlds apart.

Skylines are a mix of looks, comfort and performance where as the 180sx can look good but is just a very good performance car. Abit older + a boring interior makes the Skyline a better choice in my opinion.

yeh, depends on what you can handle. my mate has a modded 180, 244rwkw. my line has 220rwkw.

the 180 is damn quick, breaks traction on boost, handles and goes like a rocket....but its loud and rattly, bounces over bumps at speed, really really light, steering feels a bit iffy due to the strut set up. but power is like an on/off switch, hits really hard. good engine to work on, lots of room in engine bay. very strong reliable motor.

the 33, is more refined, a bit slower, but not by much, specially with stock turbs, smoother engine, smoother power delivery, its alot easier to cruise in. the interior is much nicer, more bearable. steering and handling is alot better due to the more advanced suspension and the extra weight stops it from bouncing all over the road.

all depends on how much money you have and what you prefer the look of, you can always put an RB in the 180..

cheers

R32GTR! they cost like 22-28k

i can't afford that, i wish i can though.

how much do u spent on ur skyline r33 gtst per month. fuel etc?

trivial question , how much is the transfer fee for vehicles like that (180/skyline)?

Just got a bank loan for 15k and i don't wanna go overboard with my finance ..

(who doesn't? :))

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
