But I'm definately scratching my head as to why you would sell a T for it......backward step in most ways other than handling. Why not a GTR if you wanted 4wd and speed? Would get one for similar money and is a much better (and faster) car.......Anyway, its your choice of course, and its certainly a great example so best of luck with it

Get ready for the jiggly ride, rattles, fuel consumption (for a four banger it isn't that great), and that poxy glass gearbox. I'd get rid of that upgraded clutch as the first 'mod' you will do a gearbox very quickly if you aren't super gentle with it.
Henz Tampon inserted, Auto Acquired, next purchase a new handbag Legacy Donating Member 9,946 Member For: 18y 6m 2d Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 14/06/11 06:03 AM Posted 14/06/11 06:03 AM I kindasortamaybe like it...50/50. There starting to look a bit old, and the only good thing about awd (launching by stepping off the clutch on limiter) will leave gearbox everywhere. Corners are ghey.

Engines go "bang" in no time if driven hard too - they are already under stress as stock, let alone modded......Yep, that 98-00 shape certainly looks old now.

CBXRT Banned 643 Member For: 15y 9m 30d Gender: Male Posted 14/06/11 06:46 AM Posted 14/06/11 06:46 AM Fluffy, that's a really good buy for 10k - I thought it would be more around the 15k mark so I stand corrected. Good R33 GTRs are getting around the 20k mark hence my point above. Just make sure the gearbox and clutch are sorted.......Well done on the purchase. I sold my GTR for almost exactly the same reasons - sometimes you can't have everything.....
