^^^^ if you want one of those

AllBlitz is selling one identical to that for $15,900

-Ruffels

there is a big difference to the gtx and the gt-v

brakes ,suspension,17 inch alloys ...the gt-v is the pick of the non turbo ,gt-x is the old mans version .and the one on carsales is a 2000 model with 40,000 less klm`s as well

"identical".... not by a mile my friend

The GT-X is always a questionable choice when it comes to your non-turbo R34 Skyline. You have to wonder why Nissan decided to make a 4x4 non-turo car and where the car was marketed.

The answer is they made it for the cold snowy climate areas of northern japan. In Hokkaido every single car on the road is 4x4 for the winter - even the corolla, march and sunnys. Snowy climates are horrible for cars and they will begin to rust away from salted roads in no time.

You will of course see exceptions to this and Nissan sometimes sell 4x4 Skylines outside of snowy climates. In my travels in Japan i've never seen a GT-X outside of a snowy area.

I reckon you should get a 3.5 V6 Magna sports. You can find good ones for about 20 grand. They have either 5 speed man or 5 speed tiptronic auto.

I have driven the tiptronic auto and it goes like the clappers. :) My mate had a 3.5 executive with 4 speed tiptronic and that was no slouch either, Im sure it would beat any commodore V6.

As matter of fact they are so quick, some guy on another thread reckons it would beat a R33 GTST auto. Doubt that its true but it illustrates my point.

Only downside is FWD, though many people don't consider this a downside.

They are also comfy and have japanese build quality and reliability (even though they are made in Adelaide).

Besides, if you live in NSW you won't find a car that is much quicker that you are allowed to drive on your P's. Once you get off your P's you can then trade it in for nice turbo skyline.
