Choosing: 180 Vs 32

[GT-Rrrr]

Hey evry1,

I'm not a regular poster on here as i hav a 180 and am regularly on ns.com.

I want ur opinions on wat car to get next...iv been planning this for so long and its basically come to the time where i either do something or shut up.

So my options are down to another 180 except this time a nice late model TYPE-X or a R32 GTR.

Now their both in roughly the same price range so theres no problem there but im trying to weigh up evrything and convince myself.

The Age difference is a big factor as the GTR's im looking at are '90 compared to the 180 whcij is a '97...that aside, its funny as the GTR's hav ridiculously low km's <100k (probly due to winding bak) while the type-x (due to its "non-tamperable" digital odo) has a lil over 100k.

Iv always loved 180's and 32GTR's and personally think they are both quite good looking cars...but im finding myself not looking so much at the looks of the car as much as i used to or interested in wizz-bang audio etc (a case of been there, done that). Im looking at something thats is reliable yet excites me evrytime i jump on the pedal. Something that wont b having problems evry 2 weeks and wont need a rebuild even if i run 250kw atw day-in-day-out.

I do love the 'throwable' nature of the 180s but the GTR...well theres something about the fact that u can go into a corner where in a FWD/RWD car the thoughts running threw ur head would b "well im farked...i wonder how much the repair bill will b..." but instead in the GTR, u get a rush of power to the front wheels and ur pinned bak in ur seat as u get winched out of the corner.

It is a hard choice but hopefuly with some suggestions from here and areas that i should b thinking about it should help. Also any info such as avergae fuel consumption would b great.

Thanks and sory bout long post

have you tryed searching? as this has been covered a hell of alot.

If you want reliable, how can you go past a late 90's 180SX to look at a early 90's GTR.

However, if you can afford to run it, the GTR is a HELL of a lot more car.

dont understand why you would give away the benefits of the awd and the stiff gtr chassis for that of a 180 ?
