Personally I think they are rather boatish (heavy) and aren't all that appealing because they are over done... If i was going to get a skyline it'd be an R32. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

R32 - smaller car but smaller HP engine : RB20DET R33 - bigger car by bigger engine : RB25DET have you thought about an R32 GTR? Not much more than an R33 GTS-T and go like the absolute clappers

R33's are too common these days. Everyone has one. They weigh heaps, don't handle that well, but do have a bigger engine. The R32 may only have a 2lt engine but the car is only 1320kg with fuel. R32 GTS-T / GTR or a R33 GTS-25T? I know my choice.

R32 GTR. Way too may R33's. R32 dropped on its nuts with no kit an NO wing. Looks tuff as IMO.

only thing I dislike about the r32 gts-t is the bonnet(/grille)... put a gtr bonnet and grille on and it's horn!

But yeah they are cheap, anyway.. Personally I'd go the 32, they look a million times better then the gay 33's.. Nice and low with nice rims, clean paint and no wing, and they are mint, the interior leaves alot to be desired, sunroof is nice if you find one More electrical etc inside, rb20 can be pushed as hard as any engine as you'd want not as torquey but **** happens, gts4's are cheap aswell. 33's, big boat looking things, round yet square at the same time, never liked them that much, however if they are clean, with a few little mods and clean paint they don't look half bad, just some people really make them look gay.. rb25 would be sweet, but **** happens, save your pennies and get an r32gts-t, import it yourself, as i know alot of the guys here import them then think they can sell them off for 5k dearer then what they paid.

I might buy one yet, don't really want a cheap one, especially when I want a calais, but if my car sells I'll want something neat and boosted.
