200 SX / Skyline R32 GTR / Skyline GTS R33 ???

[redgriff500]

I think I want one of these 3 to replace my BMW328 which isn't fun but I have heard the same about the GTS on the skyline forum... saying it's a cruiser.

Most rate the R32 GTR but I have had an Integrale and supercharged XR4x4 and they weren't fun as they were so surefooted...

I wasn't impressed with my old 91 200SX as it had crap seats and lagged but I'm told the later ones are better.

Ok I know people will say drive, them but you can't drive flat out on a test drive.

So who has driven any or all of these ?

Thanks

Mark

Thanks for the reply...

But then I guess the question is what are you replacing it with ?

[redgriff500]

Ok perhaps i should have been clearer, I'm not looking for the fastest, they are all fast enough.

I'm looking for something semi practical with minimal lag that is more fun than my BMW (ultimate driving machine - my arse).

It will be used for everyday driving so mpg above 20 would be nice.. so 450bhp monsters are out.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm leaning towards the R32 I think, which leads to the next question...

How does an R32 2.0t RWD compare to the R32 GTR particularly in turbo pick up and mpg.

Or alternatively how does the R32 2.0t 6 cylinder compare to the later 2.0 4 cylinder 200SX ?

Thanks again...

Everything points to me getting a 200SX but I just fancy a Skyline...

This one looks interesting :

Well I had promised myself I wouldn't buy anything until i have sold my other cars...

I have just sold my Merc Cos. but have still to sell my 328 and MX5.

Really I don't do that many miles so I set myself a budget of £5,000 but I can afford more for the right car...

Whilst I don't drive that far I can't cope with less than 20mpg... (I'm just mean) which is why I thought the GTS might be better than the GTR, plus I tend to find RWD more fun than 4WD

[redgriff500]

Yes and no.

I have trade insurance and generally I do my own servicing.

I just find that when the mpg is low (I got 12 in my griff) I tend to use something else 90% of the time.

[redgriff500]

Thanks but no.

They have had their prices inflated in the same way as Mk1 / 2 escorts have, yes an Escort is good but 10 times better than a Chevette... NO.

The Corolla doesn't have that much power, looks very dated and is expensive IMHO, anyway I still have my old Manta 16v which would seem comarable.

I have definately decided upon a Skyline.

Going to see a cheap one today... as it's local R32 GTS-t.
