So the deal is I’d like to have an R32. Always wanted one. Having said that, before I get into dumping some cash into my coupe over the winter I was wondering if anyone has any input on having R32 gts-t as a DD/Track. I really want to get one this coming summer, latest by roughly this time next year so I can work on it over the winter. I just want to weigh out the cost differences, if they are large enough I won’t get one at all. The situation is if I set my mind on getting one, I won’t spend as much on the coupe any more. I’m at a cross-roads. If money wasn’t as much of an issue I would love to have the two. Not the case though. Just looking for some input. Cost of tracking/maintaining/DD the skyline over the S13, Sourcing parts, etc. For some reason I quoted my insurance company and it’s actually lowers my premium?!? I’m assuming skylines don’t deteriorate as fast during winter like 240’s?? Reason I’m asking advice is because I’m pretty there are at least a few members on SON that have had experience with both. Where’s best to source one. I’m on gtrc and seems the majority are in BC. Sea-rail is an option. Montreal may also have some good deals. I’ve looked at a few already in the area, but I really don’t want to rush into this. I know it comes down to what I WANT, just looking for some first-hand experience. But if you have your opinions, that’s fine as well. Thanks ---

Love mine. Driven it to - on - and home 3 times without a single problem, \*knock on wood. I would assume Skylines will rust just as easily once it hits Canadian roads as 240’s do. Parts you will realized a lot are interchangeable with Z32/240 and more. Huge difference compared to my S14 and laughable to the S13 I had(it had engine issues) ---

The GTS-T is a very nice car to daily drive without the rod knock/costly maintenance of a GTR. The power is decent as well it certainly isn’t underpowered. What hassles Bingzor? I must not have experience any of these. ---

Thx for the help guys. Not looking for a gtr any longer, decided that just before I created the thread. Do the two doors actually have rears or are they benches like 240s? Doing so much research right now… ---

We actually found that removing the seats is better. The cushioning was excessive but you can fit. I took out the rear seats and put like 2 blankets and a pillow or 2 in the back when we went to Niagara falls. Needless to say on the way back the 2 guys were fighting about who sits in the back. ---

[quote=“em\_5ive,post:12,topic:25290"”] Doing so much research right now… [/quote] There is not that much. The GTS-T is a pretty cool daily driver, GTS4 maybe if you plan on winter driving it. Thats the one thing I kind of wish I might have done plus the 26 drops right in if you want. ---

If anything the gtr rear seats fit in. The gtr seats are more bucketity in the back. As for space there isnt that much. Enough to fit 2 small asian girls. But then again im 6’6 so fitting people behind my seat was a challenge but it was do-able. ---

Lol @ 2 small Asian girls. Thx for the responses, had a feeling I’d get most feedback from you two. Just want something that is more DD-able, but still let loose on track days. Did you guys import them yourselves? Alot of questions to ask but nothing that can’t be found on gtrc. So I won’t blab on here. Tips/advice are appreciated tho. Gunmetal ftw.
