over half a foot and that weight is a huge difference.

That IS half a foot. Longer wheelbase too. I think you're just nitpicking. Granted the R33 is the least of the 3 giants, but I don't see why you make it out to be awful.

We used to get a lot more here. Then soccer moms bought suvs and trucks only. Sales of japanese muscle cars dropped. Then instead of spending even more money to keep them here (emissions, etc) they just pulled them out of the lineup and gave us crappy suvs to buy

No australia is the best country. They have the same cars and wide open spaces to "test" the car out

I see where your going with that . The only problem with Aust. for me is that they get video game releases so, so late .

Tommy Kaira Skyline...is that a GTR version? obviously I'm not too familiar with their line up. But my good mate here has a Tommy Kaira S13 only 1 of 200 ever built.

/edit: Australia isn't that bad...let's put it this way you will have more time to drive so you don't need your video games...

I didn't mean that australia was bad. I guess instead of being addicted to drugs, i am addicted to games I wouldn't have to learn another language if i moved to australia though, hmmm... to many decisions One thing that would make a difference on where i move to would be ease of finding a job.

but then think of the rarity of the other one, it is a Tommy kaira

and the reason why they pull the sports car out market out is all because of the economy...since early 90s...the economy fell and ****, things like the xj220 and eb110 all of a sudden slowed down hell in sells...and is the big reason why the gt90 never made any further steps and the veedub w12 thing has only be recently revived (and killed again)...when money is low...sports cars become a bigger luxury so ppl rather buy more practical things for "the family" like **** and stuff...is only now when performance cars begin to pick up again

but then obviously i m too young to know any of this stuff i'm just repeatign stuff that i read

Umm, i would rather have the longer wheel base and the added weight of the R33 and R34. The R32 tend to spin out way too easily. Secondly regarding the Tommy Kaira edition. the owned stated AWD plus electronic taction control. Only the GTR's come in AWD. If i had the 50G's, I would rather buy the TK edition then go through Motorex.
