My mate recently bought a R34 4dr non-tubro in excellent condition with 60k on the clock for $19,000.

Are you specifically looking for a turbo or non-turbo? 2dr or 4dr? manual or auto?

I have an R34 GTX 4Door Non Turbo, NEO6 Version for sale. Full features - Factory TV/NAV/Keyless Entry/Engine Start/Triptonic/Xenon Headlights plus more. No damage history at all.

Can do a good price for you - including registration, with some money left over to fill up petrol for the next month or 2

If you buy an R32 GT-R you have no clue about the state of the engine and the probability is high that it was trashed in japan. Not to mention its way too old now lol

If you have no clue on the condition of an r32 gtr engine why would you know anything about the condition of an r33 gtst donk?

IMHO if you're after looks then its simply personal taste. If performance is your ticket then a gtr for the same $ may be older but there is no comparison between the vehicles. An r32 gtr is the real deal, a gtst is simply the shopping trolley version sharing very little mechanically. Look at the price of these cars when new and its quite clear where the value now lies.

Dude, it's pretty simple go skyline r33 series2. Newer. more features, new turbo , good power and yes with a few modes it goes pretty hard. Yes you can not put it next to gtr but by the time you get an r32 running %100 you could have built a gun of an r33. Dont be bothered with the fact that there are many r33 around. That's simply coz they are popular, good quality and pocket rockets plus all the extra space and luxury R32 is lacking. I am really unbias and have had almost every import such as: 300zx tt, r33 series 1, 180sx. Now i got r33 series 2 that cost me about 25gs, have done all the basics such as:suspension, wheels, exaust,body kit filter, cooler, boost Apexi Fc and car is going like a thunder. Have given a few good goes to r32 gtrs belive it or not. Hop-e this helps, anyway this is my 2 cent

Cheers

my vote would be to go for a s2 r33.

spend up to 18k on a decent mainly unmodded car, and remember you will need to budget for insurance/change in ownership etc.

if this is your first turbo car don't jump in the deep end and get a 32 gtr, possibly the worst thing you could do. even if the gtr is in top nick it will still require a great deal of maintenance to keep it that way.

having said that, any jap import you buy will not just be a get in, drive and forget about proposition. if you want that buy a new corolla

get the gtst, read a lot on here, and you will be happy with the decision.

[alphabeatsco]

what about a r32 gts-t? any problems with those?

sorry dude, im only after manuals,turbo and FR.

for drift..

[Sarumatix]

Building a car for drift, on a budget... you'll probably be wanting the R32 GTS-t then, and for a touch of spice, you could try a 4-door, cefiro or laurel. If you are drifting it you will want to be spending a lot of time and money looking after your car because you will be treating you car a lot harsher than the average user, i'm not sure you are fully aware of just how much drifting actually costs, and that's before your first stack .

Well with a bidget of 20k my friend you wont last long on the drifting scene. i think your being a bit too picky

[alphabeatsco]

im not being picky mate, turbo and manual is all im asking.
