Priest Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Soon guys, soon. Well am new to Aus and the whole V8 thing is cool, new to me as back home the "in cars" are astras, golfs etc.... (Sad i know) But have always wanted a Skyline, ever since i saw the one tested on Top Gear, would love an R33 GTR, would LOVE the R34 but im guessing thats a bit out of my price range. What sort of power/speed/price does the R33 go for? You will prob laugh if you knew what car i drove. My accent is alright, originally from the UK so its not the most South African you can get, get some real bad ones.

Was an Opel Corsa, sortof like your Holden Barina but was the sport model, branches, freeflow etc.... Even dragged a Subaru Forester 2.5 which i know is prob not a big deal but for a 1.6 i was impressed R32, u say they the one to go for? What sort of price can you pick one up for?
