    R32 GTR or FD RX7?

      Boost Therapy I’m still learning how to edit and all that fun stuff. Just want each video to be a bit better than the previous one. I’m using iMovie to do everything. And I’ve owned a fd Rx7 and obviously a r32 GTR, the fd always had something wrong with it (could have just had a nightmare car) and I absolutely love my R32. There both amazing cars but bnr32 all the way.

      Well I’ve herd a lot of bad things about montu. In fact there is some new drama going down on the American skyline owners club today about them. I got mine from IVI. I personally wouldn’t buy from montu due to there reputation.

      I looked em up and the prices are waaaay high compared to a few others. Shitty thing is we have to spend thousands of extra $$ in California because of CARB(emissions bullshit). I'd still probably end up registering it in another state but the few GTR's they're selling are all 30k+, seems a little high right now compared to some other company's.

    The mileage on many of these cars was 100,000 km's over 20 years ago. It's funny all these years later they still have only 100,000km's on them. Lots of cars are wound back.

      I definitely disagree. They more than live up to the hype and some. A nice r32 GTR for 35k is not only a good investment as the price for good ones keep going up every year, and I feel that I get a 35k+ driving experience out of it.

    It's common knowledge that the Kenmeris and Hakosukas were the only Skylines/GT-Rs ever made... beauty, soul, etc. R32s, 33s, and 34s are the spawn of a Buick Le Sabre and a Toyota Cressida, and NO amount of money can make them look any better than a brick. And, unmodded, their performance and handling is so mediocre - that's why you usually only see them turned into 1500hp monstrosities for drag strips and drift meets. No road courses or hillclimbs for these crap piles. BMW makes a proper inline 6. Nissan does not. So, unless your Skyline is 1st or 2nd gen, it's crap and therefore it has no business wearing a Skyline/GT-R badge. Of course, the 'R35' is also hideous, and has rightly become irrelevant.
