GTR's are a bit different but are already creeping up and I think you might struggle to find one within budget. IMO they do feel a bit boatlike, but difficult to beat for big cheap power. R33 Ive always seen as a bit of a poor relative to the other Skylines and its been reflected in the money, it wasnt long ago GTS-T's were tickling £2K which is a hell of a lot of car for the money. I wouldnt go earlier than a 5 TBH, the higher the number the better the car in my experience. my brother had an Evo8 running about 350hp and it was pretty awesome, lots of fun to drive and very responsive, Id have bought it off him myself if it wasnt for 3K miles service intervals, it wasnt great on fuel either but what is? The day I encountered a Lamborghini on the way to work in it was a memorable one, the Evo leaves people in no doubt as to your attitude to speed. It's a bit of a now or never kind of situation.Īnyway, let's say you have £10,000 to spend, has to be turbo, has to be 300 + BHP and has to be jap, what would you go for?Īnyway, moving on. I keep looking at the Z and feeling bad about letting it go, it's never missed a beat and I'm worried I'll end up regretting it, on the other hand I'm absolutely desperate for a car with boost and have never owned one and know I'll not get the chance once real bills and home ownership comes along. R 33 GTR - Fair bit out of my price range but I could find the money if my heart was set on it. White evo 6 (millage is a little off putting for me) Comes from a good importer tho Here's a few of cars that have caught my attention recently, let me know what you think I'm not worried about that, my main concern is reliability and worry's about major engine problems etc, we've all heard the horror story's about evo's and skylines etc. I'm not naive, I realize it's not going to be cheap to run a 350 + BHP evo/skyline. I know a few people on here have experience with the GTR's but does anyone have any experience with evo's? I've joined the MLR and read through the buyers guides etc. Still, it made a beautiful noise and felt more special than the evo, I also preferred the low slung driving position. Likewise I've drove my mates R33 GTR and that was running 400BHP, again it was rapid but you could feel the extra weight and it wasn't as nice in the corners. The evo I drove was a 6 and running about 370BHP, what a machine, it absolutely flew, the noise, the drama and the shear pace of the thing had me grinning from ear to ear, totally different experience to the Z. The stock Silvia felt kinda slow but was still a great drive, nicer interior than the S14 and lots of tuning potential. I've drove all three of the car's in the list. The other half is really into Evo's and at this stage that's got me swaying towards one of them, I've personally always fancied the R33 GTR as my next car. The mrs is getting her boobs done and I've helped with that so now that's out the way it's her turn to help me buy something I've always wanted. The idea is to have one more proper mad motor before saving for a house in the next few years. I've been looking at S15 silvias, evo's and at the top of my budget R33 gtr's. It's going to be a bit of a hassle as me and my Mrs both drive our cars daily so if I end up getting something mental we will both need runabouts before I can buy anything. If I sell the Z and the ep3 I should have somewhere in the region of £9,000 to spend, obviously I could always wait and save a little more if needed for the right car. All my big bills for the year have been paid and I'm considering putting the Z up for sale (again) (sorry GM ). Well after another great year owning the Z I've started to catch myself lusting after other cars again.
