Going to look at these two tomorrow.

Heart says Skyline, Head says S4. What do you guys think? S4 seems well done and the guy has spent alot on it, only worry is knowing Ben's S3 bills will they been the same?

Skyline is getting tricky for parts...

Out of those 2 I'd go for the GTR. I sold my one nearly 2 years ago and would definately get another one. Seems to have some sensible modifications and the options for more mods are endless. smile Oh, and when my car was runnning 1 bar of boost on the standard turbos, it was producing nearly 420bhp smile

After reading that Pete couldn't take the V8 s4 to norway I'm not sure what I would say, except I won't be buying another unless it's got a warranty like JRs RS6 had.

Mine took about 60k of being driven pretty hard / short journies from it's first owner, before it started to go wrong, then everything failed pretty much in order... S4s have twice as many turbos and DVs and all sorts of other ste to go wrong.

I bet both of those cars won't be 'cheap' to run, but I'd rather piss money away on the GTR, far more special IMO.

It's all about bagging yourself an older more reliable Audi. wink

I like both cars but I don't think the S4 would get a look in. I think if you did buy the S4 that after a few weeks you'd be wishing you bought the R32.

Thanks guys, just needed a reason or should I say no reason not to go for r32. The one looks tidy im seeing tomo, but it has some rust coming on rear arch app..

Also a nice Tommi Kira one on ebay I'm wanting to look at.

Fair point!

For a minute or so, it looked alot worse than it actually was so thank god it was only a knackered wire. Real brown trouser moment that was.

R32 or a leggy S4? Personally I'd go for something like this...
