Hey give some opinion on this skyline
 

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/pm...122753947.html

I don't know much about skylines if someone could give me a lowdown. just general info

the color black is nice.

It's 5 speed.
It's right hand drive.

What else do you want to know?

Make sure 100k maintenance has been done, timing belt, water pump etc. Most importantly, do a compression test. Also check for little things here and there as little repairs do add up. Ask about aircare as well. From what I remember, this car has been on the market for quite some time.

btw have you considered looking at some R32's? They're relatively cheap now a days.. anywhere from 4-6g's can find you a nice GTS-T. Buddy of mine picked up a R32 GTR for $9000 with new paint job + refreshed motor, AND WORK wheels.

True story

Ive got a 89 R32 GTS-T type M, mechanically mint that I'm letting go for that price range. 2.0L Inline 6 turbo (~260hp) on stock psi, runs flawlessly with minor mods. OP pm me if you're interested!

This would be a fun car.. it was posted on CL a while ago, had quite the mod list. If you can neg. on pricing, this would a sick deal.

IMHO the r33 gts-t looks like ass if your gonna buy a boat at least make it a Z lol or you could just spend that money on a r32 GTR or spend some more and get a well worth it r33 GTR

i was always told not to buy a modded car for a first car, I can't decide on a first car tho !!!
I want one that looks sick but.. soo many factors you know?
I'm looking at skylines now, are skylines 1990 and under still like reliable?
cause there are soo many skyline versions and stuff I can see, whats a good year/type of skyline at around 8k?

How expensive is the skyline in repairs? I'm guessing very since all parts need to be shipped I'm assuming. How expensive is it to do something like a typical oil change? lol

R32 > R33

speaking of skylines... when was mwr34's skyline stolen again?

Moded or not doesn't matter, just as long as you don't think/try to be the stig or something when you first get it, and actually take the time to get to know your car and learn about it then your totally ok!
You can get a nearly mint condition r32 gtst for 8gs. I suggest that specially for a first car, and for the fact that if you break something on it parts are so much eaiser to find for a R32 then a R33 lol.

why is r34 illegal here. Omg they're soo sexy. tbh R32 and R33 isn't the style I like, but r34 is just jaw dropping. Whats the HP on a stock 32 and 33, are they ok on gas?

IMO, you shouldn't be buying a skyline for a first car. Too many negative stories regarding novice drivers + skylines. Parts are quite interchangeable between other Nissan models. IE, oil filter is the same as a 240, brakes are the same as a 300zx TT.

As for mods, it really depends on what is done and how the car has been looked after. You can save quite a bit of money buying one that already has a few goodies on there.

Like any used car you should budget some money into doing general maintenance, or just having leftover money in case something does go. Check out www.gtrcanada.com, www.skylineownersusa.com lots of information there.

Please by all means, do your research before you buy.

yea I guess, I'm looking for something newer so I'd get something with lower miles and cheaper to maintain, but an old faster car would be sick too. im actually looking at impreza 2.5rs as well, are those any good?

If gas is a concern don't buy one. If you're not willing to fork out the cash to maintain it, don't buy one.

^my previous comment was regarding skylines.

Stock r32 gtst has 212 hp and a stock r33 has 250hp and R34 is illegal because on any import you have to wait 15 years past the original make date before you can legally insure it in canada

from any japanese domestic make, they need to be 15 years old from the manafactur date to pass customs in Canada to be let in... if you have connections or are in the army... there's probably ways to surpase that though.

Keep in mind R34's are like twice the price, R34 GTR's are even like 35k+ average, around 40-50 for a NICE one.

Thanks and also for the gas comment, I guess I'll stay away from skylines till I'm older and can buy a R34 or R35, my dream car btw.

Guys wanna help me out with choosing a car?
Picking between the Impreza 2.5RS, Honda Civic SI, its brother Acura RSX and still open to suggestions. faster would be better unless it's aLot worse on gas.

Subaru ftw

just get a 5-speed R32 gts-t, they don't cost much.

don't like the look of em :/
Subaru impreza 2.5rs vs Toyota Celica GT?

impreza 2.5rs what year are you getting?
