Thoughts on this? How bad is maintenance and insurance going to be?
>>15427379
>GTS-T
why even bother
>>15427379
>R33
>GTS-T
It's like the only two things you wouldn't want when buying a skyline
>>15427383
....because it's RWD, and it has the RB25 and not the RB20
Not OP btw
>>15427401
>not going for the rb26
>not wanting sweet ATTESA
>>15427413
>being this munch of a fan boy
>not realizing some people have financial restrictions and want the best for their dollar
Stop being such a benchracing faggot, the GTS-T is still a decent choice with a damn good engine, maybe he doesn't have $15k to spare on a GT-R
>>15427418
>benchracing
kek, i'd buy an r33 just to cruise around and catch all those jealous looks :^)
>>15427426
Yes benchracing
>HUUUURRRRRRRR WHY DONT YOU HAVE GT-R???
>HURRRR GT-R BEST SKYRINE
>YOU SUCK UNLESS YOU HAVE BESTU SKYRINE
>>15427445
well, you DO suck if you don't go all the way..keep on deluding yourself that a lesser skyline is also "good", kek
>>15427448
>proving my point even further
OP was asking whether the GTS-T was a good buy or not, not whether some autistic would prefer it or a GT-R
since you're getting a rwd skyline why not get the best gen?
>>15427459
>I-4 over I-6
>best gen
>>15427464
and then there's this autistic anime weeb
>>15427477
Damnit Alphonse, stop responding for me
>>15427477
alhponse be my qt trap bf
>>15427489
Whatever Al, "it's not you"
>>15427379
Don't bother OP. If it's not a gtr it's not really worth it. I've had the chance to experience both and the gtst just feels boring, plus it really does drive like a boat.
Also there is no way those km's haven't been rolled back.
>>15427489
*unzips pants*
u are now
>thread already ruined by memeing shitters
God I fucking hate this board.
I've literally never owned a car with more than 160hp so even a base Skyline would be an upgrade. Even if GTR's were for sale near me I only have 12k budget.
>>15427494
Well damn
>>15427497
I say go for a test drive if they'll allow it, see if it's what you want
>>15427383

Spotted the busriders.

Have some real replies
Read up on the engine, most basic problems are fixed with a dry sump, and a better oil pump. If you don't feel like doing any of the common fixes, just avoid revving the piss out of it.
Parts are expensive as fuck, if you don't have an extra 4k in spending money I would walk away and come back in a few months.
You're gonna be stuck with basic liability insurance because lolimport, I would expect around $150-$250 monthly depending on age, sex, and driving record
>>15427511
Dry sump is overkill. You'd have to be consistently hitting the rev limiter and taking corners at high g's (I.e drifting) to ever consider needing a dry sump for an rb.
While I can't comment on the prices of parts in Canada, I highly doubt OP would need an extra 4K as the skyline is generally a reliable car and shouldn't have any issues with it provided it's in good condition.

tarbo RBs are time bombs
>>15427629
>rb25 can run 360hp day in and day out on the stock internals

Yeah ok buddy

Said the child autist with little automotive knowledge
>>15427795
What is a safe, reliable boost to run on a DD? Staying stock internals
>>15428071
60psi on a cold day. 40 in summer
Pretty cool. I hope you drift the fuck out of it
>>15428191
Does 4WS fuck up my drifting?
>>15428071
About 1-1.2bar ( can't remember what that is in psi). If you're going to DD it you probably won't hit full boost every time you got out anyway, so I wouldn't worry about reliability in this respect.

>>15427379
i thought you guys are joking. is that thing really have an I4 ? kekekek why even build such a shitty car ?
>>15428623
Turbo I6 you dumb nigger
>>15428263
Put a lockout bar on it
God you Americans are retarded
>>15428623
Only the DR30 came stock with an I-4 in the last 30 years, everything since the R32 has been at least 6 cylinders
>>15428774
You call that a shitpost?
Shouldn't there be a GT25T badge on the back here? I've seen that in a few photos.
>>15428071
I run 14 psi on mine, stock turbo can only handle around 12 because lolceramic
making 330 atw and can't go any further without spend decent money on injectors etc
What color looks best on these cars? Assuming I don't like the matte black look in-person.
Also what is the cost of a getting a car painted?
>>15429264
A dark grey/silver metallic
Or a deep blue almost purple
op with the flat black i gaurantee there is body damage and bondo under it. check under hood in the door jams and inside of the trunk for wrinkles in the unit body.
you don't want to DD a car with a jdm only engine. aside from spark plugs and filters (prob have to cross reference from oem number). you're gonna be shit out of luck on basic maintenance items. it's old so things will go wrong. and you'll be that faggot on the bus people think is lying about his skyline at home
