Well if it was me I would have a hard think about it.
But if you want it and can justify $21000. go for it.
Or if you really want, just get it.
Whatever makes you happy.

Nope dont really like them. Seen them in the flesh and they are really weird looking compared to the r33 traditional coupe.
Get the r33 Coupe, actually cheaper than that price in the trading posts.
Crappy motor the only thing you would need off that heap would be the head!!! Get a VL dude!!!! Then if you want a skyline motor get twin cammer on top of the rb30 )

The RB25DET is an excellent engine.. goes hard, easy to modify, and its NEWER, sure I love VL's but most have had a hard life.. its only a natural progression for a VL Turbo owner to buy a skyline..
Sure the VLs are quick, but the engine is OLD... jump in an r33 with a few mods, and you'll soon change your mind

I like em, If I hd the money i would go for one, specially a 4 door, you dont see too many of em around.
Hard to fit a deccent sized cooler in the front of em so I've heard.
But pretty easy to modify, go for whatever makes you hapy man.

if you want a 4 door R33 then you don't have much choice. I've been in a few R33's with only minor mods and the things hammer ! The skyline is a great car, they handle great, go great and stop great. Not to sure about the price as i havent looked much at the sedans but if its what you want and the price is right then go for it.
i reckon the 2 door looks marginally better, but picture that with a set of nice rims. plus its different. i wont even bat an eye at an r33 these days, but the 4 doors are a nice breath of fresh air
i say go for the 4 door, especially if you like it.
though 21,000 is a tiny bit steep. ive seen heaps cheaper than that, but theyre in **** condition. this one looks pretty shmick.. and with dealers you always get a markup.

Hey Guys,
Personally i prefer the 4 Door R33's... one of the women at work as one and she loves it.
It looks almost identical to the one in the photo and it goes hard. The guys and i have taken it out to Queensland Raceway a couple of times and its sweet.
Anyway living in Sunnybank Bris, ya see more riced Skylines, Silvias, WRX's, Honda's & Excels than ya do Telstra vans or Police cars....
Anyway thats my 2c worth.
IS IT WORTH IT ???? not likely !!!!!! how could u justify $21000 4 a 4 door GTS-taxi ...... they are'nt that brilliant ..... I see alot of ppl posting can go good with a few mods . PIGS ARSE !!!!!!!! a mate has got a 2dr 1 of those & with 14psi boost , exhaust & cooler could only do a best of 14.6 at eastern creek ..... do that to a vl & see what u run .. R33s are heavier , more expensive to insure , hard to find parts for & even worse have a smaller cube motor ..... dont be fooled like sum into thinking its a natural selection to up/downgrade to an r32/33 skyline ... imports arent performance bargains ! up here in sydney they are everywhere (thats why i call them taxis , go to city/brighton on fri/sat nite & u see more r32/3s than taxis) and theyve devalued really fast ... eg , can easily find 93 r33 gts 25t , with wheels , shelter for the homeless exhaust , cd player,& sum form of bodykit from $18000 & up .... and in alot of cases when uv bought this performance import bargain & try to boost the thing it wont go much better than standard coz u need a fuel cut defender . & after u do that you'll probably find that the clutch or fuel pump wants to **** itself ... and then possibly the turbo coz sum wally in japan that owned the car before u , boosted it beyond its 14psi limit .... and if it appears standard , DONT BELIEVE IT !!!! very few come from japan standard , but have to appear standard when going for compliance (makes it alot easier to get through) .. my advice to any1 considering it , DONT BUY ONE !!! :roll: :x 8)

evrybody knows that the majority of vlts have been thrashed throgh most of their lives .... but have u seen the way the japs drive their cars .... if not buy/borrow high performance imports vid .... got plenty of drifting , drag racing etc . they may be newer , but have more than likley been thrashed just as much as alot of vls & they are double the age .....
