You've been listening to a certain few trolls on /o/ too much. The cars are fine.

>buying a nissan
dont fall for the memes man.
you could have a nice vette for same cash.

>>16898028
Im assuming you are from Australia

most people on /o/ have no clue about Skylines. Do your own research.

>>16898028
>dont get a nissan, anon. they're unreliable
That's just what the butthurt mazda and gm fangurls say

Mazda a shit, Nissan is okay.

>>16898199
they were former Nissan users tho

>N/A skyline
Sure, if you want to be a massive faggot getting rekt by fucking excels

>>16898028
Skylines without turbos are honestly kind of dogshit. Completely dead as far as performance goes. If you're ok with that then yeah the R33 N/A is fine, just get a manual or you're going to have to constantly floor it to get the auto transmission to the gear you want.

>taking your only car on the track is a nono
>every time you part it youll worry someone will hit it

I strongly suggest you dont do this. But if you have a garage to park it in overnight, time, money and knowhow to work on it and pay to own it, then do it. Get an r32, because r33s are common and abused and look like the toy car version of the 32 and 34.

But seriously if all you can get is a NA r33, dont. Just wait until youre old enough to get the turbo. Itll be much worth the wait.

Didn't want to make my own thread, so I'll hijack this semi related one. I'm also buying my first car, and I'm curious what the general concensious is on ls400's? The older pre 2000 ones and the newer 430 and 460 models. I have 6000 to spend, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what to buy.

Used civics and passats go for 6gs but they dont seem fun to drive. I really like wagons but the merc wagons i hear are a pain to fix up, and the new volvo wagons aren't what they used to be.

Does anyone have links to where i could get more info on stuff like this? The sticky only helps so much

I bought the shittest heap r32 gtst fully dented oil leaks, p/s leaks, fuel leaks, dents, paint faded, interior fucked. With less than $2k i fixed all of it by myself with no knowledge whatsoever just google. Its not fucking hard

Do people really steal skylines? You'd think they'd go for something flashier. Not shitting on the car, btw.

>>16903596
its more that the r32s are INCREDIBLY easy to steal, im too scared to even park mine at the shops for 5mins because of that bullshit

If OP is from Australia.

Why the hell would you want a cop magnet for a first car?

>>16903638
easy to steal?
how so?
i go through phases of really wanting a skyline but the 32 has the shit engine but looks best, r33 and r34 have the better engines but look grotty
>speaking of the gtst and gtt respectively as i doubt i'd be able to afford the awd variants for a long while

>>16903672
Not OP, but I got an R34 because I actually want to get pulled over for no reason and then sue the shit out of Vic Police for racial profiling and unnecessary "arrests"

>>16903818
No immobilizer. Modern cars have immobilizers so if you don't have the right key the engine will refuse to start. With the R32 they can be stolen like old Hondas.

>>16903495
The LS400 is fine. Minor design flaws. Find a nice one. 1998-2000 LS400s are basically comparable to the early LS430 for a little less money.
