It'd be cool to own one but just not worth the hassle. There are 2 or 3 R34's in GA I know of an one R33 but he was trying to get rid of it.

It wasn't a dud, it was just a disappointment to some of the GT-R fanatics at the time due to the R33 growing in size and weight, even though it had a lot of improvements. Think of it like the Evo X following the Evo VIII/IX.

It depends on how you view a 20+ second improvement around the Nurburgring compared to the outgoing model.

7:59* -- 154.82 km/h - Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R (*free of the speed limiter standard on UK versions, so it was discounted)
8:01.72 153.98 km/h - Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R, (Best Motoring video "Carrera Invasion")
8:22.38 147.62 km/h - Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R (Best Motoring video "Carrera Invasion")

No I know. I was just wondering if the X was 20 seconds faster than the IX around the Nurburgring.

Disregard. I thought your posted laptimes were part of your signature. I'm not too sharp today apparently.

After some Facebook sleuthing my decision was made easier, this is the reason its no longer pearl white and its rolling on Roja's.



















If it was still in this condition with those gorgeous Nismos I might have been driving a GTR today.

+1. Keep the EVO. The last thing you need is I.C.E showing up at your door with a flat bed there to take your car.

ahaha that was some shady business god bless fb. As for the r32 we have them in every corner in the middle east. R33s too. If it was a r34 though, it would be another story. R33 or R34 GTR would be a no brainer but R32 and especially this one never would be on my list. Especially with that sweet *** low mile TB evo of yours. Just keep it and save your self the never ending hassle with illegal imports and possibilty of it being seized by the popo's.
