Just lately I've been having dark thoughts about swapping my UK spec Turbo for an R32 Skyline. Has anyone on here done it and regretted it? Am I mad to consider swapping a 5 year old car for a 12/13 year old one?
Your thoughts please.

I went from a 270bhp Uk Turbo (MY99) to a 1993 Twin Turbo Aerotop Supra (~400bhp), then 1995 R33 GTR (~380-400bhp). I'm knackered now, but PM me with any Q's and I'd be glad to answer them................

I'm doing something similar, selling my 2001 WRX to hopefully buy an R33 skyline - which will be 5-6 years older. It will also have approximately 180 BHP more which is the real reason for the change

Keep quite a few £££'s spare incase anything goes wrong as I understand Skylines are even more expensive to fix than scoobs

I went from a classic wrx (scoobyEcu, de-cat, hks exhaust, hks filter etc) to an R32 GTR, my GTR was running 1 bar (impul ecu, decat, impul exhaust etc)

I loved the skyline, preferred the looks, image, engine sound, performance and driving position. Handling was a little bit of a suprise though coming from a pretty idiot proof wrx into something which handles rwd in the bends

I liked the useable 1st gear too, was nice and long

edited to add..

spent a lot of time giving passenger rides though

I think if you get a good one then a r32gtr is one of the coolest cars

they grow on you
ive got one as my weekend toy had evo 6 tme,evo4,sti's wrx's and ra's
but the r32gtr's a modern classic
heres one example
