97 gts

[future_R34]

Hey everyone,

Thinking about pullin the trigger on a 97 r33 gts. It's not at all what I want, because ;

2.0L non turbo
Price is kinda high (9900+tax)

Now the reason why I may buy;

It's in excellent condition inside and out
No mods at all
Would make a great car to drop in a 2.5det or a 2.6 engine.
Its white with white a/m wheels(color I want)
close to my location( I'm in Newfoundland)
They offer financing

Looking for your thoughts feed back etc. should I just wait or another?

I'd say wait,non turbo? why buy something you don't want? That price is way high, is this car in Newfie? You'd. Be better off flying out of province to get one

Ps I'm from kings point, Green Bay lll

Car is in Halifax. I was planning on flying to Ontario or somewhere this summer to buy. But I would have to drive back to the rock, so I need to get a car that's sensible and not gonna breakdown 2 hours after I buy. Hence the reason for this car.

Nice lookin car though, I'd still wait , you can find a gtst for the same money

Gonna say what I said last time this was asked. Wait for what you want. There's no sense dropping 10 grand on a car just to pull the engine and spend another 6 grand dropping in what you want, then spend months fixing everything that went wrong.

You are right. It's just been such a long time(4-5 years) and I haven't found that car. Also the price is steadily increasing. 10 g back when I joined the fourm could have got a decent gtr, now everyone want 10g for a body filler special gts-t.

I will have one. One day. Suppose I have to fly to Vancouver and drive all the way back!

God you guys pay a lot for cars over there. A 97 Gts will be all of 92kw, have awful 4 stud wheels, small brakes and a non lsd ass end. You'll need change the engine loom if you go 25det/26det as the engine in the r33 gts is only single cam. A common conversion over here is throwing in a 30e engine ad it will run on the 20e loom, not many if any more kW buy a lot more torque.

The N/A Skylines get a lot of flak, but honestly I love mine. I'm not in the market for an ultra fast car, plus the turbo models just mean more maintenance and money.

Mine is an RB25DE though, I hear the RB20E motors in the R33 are very slow. I think they have like 130 hp, vs the RB25DE which has 190-200.

Now, that car in particular is way overpriced. I think my R33 cost less than $5K landed in Vancouver. Obviously you'd have to pay out the ass to ship it to the Maritimes, but you're still saving a ton of cash if you bring a good one in yourself.

Ya I completely shot this down. Ended up finding a nice one in gta that I'm trying to get. Waiting on some things from the bank and hopefully it goes through
