Jamesy Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I have narrowed my (long) search down to the above models. both 93 models and both running around 300BHP. I've had a scooby before and LOVED it, but never owned a skyline. Any thoughts on either/both? The skyline is about £500 more expensive - both done around 60k miles. Both black, very nice looking blah blah blah!! (the skyline does need a new electric window motor and fuel gauge isn't working which puts me off a tad) ....gone off the N/a Supra idea as just think i'd miss the power too much after my BP TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 if it were me, I would go for the skyline as I reckon they're better looking, a little less common and would be a change as you have allready owned a scooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Plus the skyline has a lot more potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 cheers mate....however do you think getting the leccy window regulator fixed and fuel gauge is likely to be pricey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Get the seller to do it, or knock a couple of £££'s off the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The GTS is like the NA of the Skyline world, only get a GTR if you go Skyline, I have had a big power R32 and they are great cars, I have also had a WRX STI and they are also very good but the GTR is in a different class IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the GTS-T that i'm looking at still has over 300BHP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the GTS-T that i'm looking at still has over 300BHP!! VERY different cars The GTR is a twin turbo with the RB26 engine and a 4 wheel drive the GTS is single turbo, rear wheel drive and the RB20 engine, worth a look on the GTR owners for all the details as there are many other differences as well, including insurance !

Jamesy Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 including insurance ! yeah i bet the GTR is a killer - SKY wouldn't even quote me for the scooby but got a good price off A-Plan. thanx mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franko Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 they still have a lot of power but they lack all the tools of the GTR, Slower ofc but its still a fast baby. Subaru's on the other hand are totally poo just my opinion:p Subaru's lack power even for turbo cars. N/A's can beat them unless its a special edition.

tooquicktostop Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I would get a WRX then if I was you The RB26 powered GTR is very tunable and is a great car though Mine http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/7/18516594949.jpg http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/7/18516594619.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha - i dont know about that mate - my old one was running about 320BHP and was like a go-kart on steriods. they are rapid and personally i couldn't imagine an N/a keeping up too well..... could be wrong though.

Well i raced a Subaru today and it was level pegging until about 85 then i pulled away from him.

A few of my mates have Subaru's older ones like M P reg's and 85+ my car pulls away wow - good effort. i think though i'd use it more for nippyness and sub 99 MPH due to the fact i have 2 small kiddies and also need my licence for my job!!!!

Scott Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 eh? buy it but i'll regret it - why's that fella ? Because the quality and comfort is not as good as the sup. The interior is also a bit drab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 What about a Nissan S14a? Just as tuneable and practical (ish). Mines is putting out 300bhp. For your budget you will get a good one and a lot younger than a 1993, will be able to get a 1999/2000. 2 reasons why I never went for a scooby is common as muck, and the wife said "no" ina ver convincing way. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoup Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 personally id steer well clear of http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/513193.htm far to played with for my liking and far to much to go wrong, brothers got a skyline 2.5 turbo id not say it was slow his came with the nismo computer dash etc so not standard but its a very nice car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 yeah i wasn;t interested in that blue one - pretty good job but not for me. the one i like is an R33 GTS in black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
