Supra Twin Turbo or R32 Skyline GT-R

The Skyline, because fewer people know what it is.

The Skyline's less likely to kill me and the Carlos Fandango computers will let me go very sideways.

A 3.0 Supra - one of the newer shape, fast and the furious ones? I'd choose that - in manual, 6 speed :-) And ensure I gave it 450bhp.

I'm not a huge fan of the old 'liners. They are nice cars no doubt, but the R34 just looks so much better :D

That's the one

That would be the plan, 450bhp is easy.

R34 would be my first choice but a mortgage rules it out :-(

Mates had 450. Was neither easy nor cheap. Better with a Skyline if modding it, Supra if keeping it standard. Plus it couldn't get the power down unless it was a dry straight road.

He sold it, two weeks later it was crashed by its new owner.

Could always get an Evo - also with the full trick AWD and as quick point to point as any skyline given the same power, cheaper parts and smaller car.

Insurance is much more expensive. Recent quotes have been around £420 for a Supra, £450 for a Skyline, Evo 5 is around £950.

Supra Twin Turbo.

Specifically, a 1990-92ish JZA70 Aerotop manual, as low mileage as I could find, freshly imported, manual, TEMS, Electronic dash, and in a dark colour.

And I'd spend the change on making it perky ;)

You can get 450bhp on the standard turbos, only really needs a downpipe, exhaust and boost controller. The Supra is more tuneable than a Skyline, the Supra bottom end can take

1000bhp as standard.

It would be an import, the R32 was never officially imported.

Get the Supra. YKIMS.

hmm tough one, i'd go supra for the daily driver keeping it a standard twin turbo and i'd also go for a UK car over import too on the supra. UK had better spec, made more power, bigger brakes ect for a second run around i'd go R32 as i REALLY want one! tuned keeping it clean on the outside with mental power under the hood :)

the R32 are my fave as they was quite a lot smaller than the R34 and on the skyline clubs most members say it's the better car too.

Wha... ?

I'm 31, full ncb, 3 points (going soon), fully comp on all three with protected ncb. Haven't tried actually phoning any companies yet, those prices were from confused.com but there were several companies giving quotes in the same price range.

Just fed in the details for a MITSUBISHI GTO TWIN TURBO 1994-1999 2972cc COUPE Manual Petrol and the cheapest was £472. Do you live in a high risk area or something?

I've just run a quote for an R32 GT-R. £929 fc, even with 6 points, not garaged and leaving it in a pay and display all day.
