I'm buying a 2nd hand Skyline R33, What things to consider?

it is impractical for a daily driver bro, malakas yan sa gas. Better look for an SIR or Lynx RS instead IMHO.

maybe you might want to consider a silvia s14

but if decided ka na make sure dala ka mechanic na titingin sa auto ... and make sure mo rin maayos pagka convert yung auto

Okay na ako sa GTS dude. Di ko naman kasi kailangan ng pang drag pero pag may nahanap ako na swak sa budget na R33 GTR, yun na bibilhin ko

I'm supposing those are the non-turbo 2.0s? Ugh.

exactly ... even R32 GTS-4 running on RB20DETT hindi bumababa sa 450k ang pricing

R32 GTR rough estimate nasa 500 pataas pa

how much more on an R33 GTR

If it's not for racing, really, a Silvia is still a better choice than a Skyline. You can get a better condition Silvia for the same money, and maintenance will still be easier. Heck... if you're low on budget, you can even go down to the S12 Silvia, which looks a lot like a Trueno, but is more powerful and more fun to drive:

It's a head-turner, has a funky digital dash, and is something of a classic. Parts are more difficult than newer Silvias, though. Still, my bro had one that was converted to SR20. Pretty sweet car.

If your budget is under half a million, you can probably get a good condition S13:

LHD ones had that woeful KA24, but more likely you'll be seeing converted ones... either RHD-LHD or KA24 LHD to SR20/SR20DET.

Probably around 1m. Last I saw, R34s are around 1.5 - 2m. The R33 is the one I'd get, if I were shopping. I like its lines the most. The 400R is one of my dream cars... but no way in hell would I be able to get one here...
