Default Should I trade my 97 5spd for this skyline?

I have someone that wants to trade my 97 5spd na-t w/ black interior for their 91 R32 Skyline. The skyline needs rod bearings and a crank. Even though they are over rated it is one of the cars I have yet to own.

Mine

Loosen up your pocket book if you plan on getting the skyline. Hahha, you'll have fun at the drive through also.

P.s. Why an R33... Its the worst skyline made. It has all the weight of an r34 with all the power of the r32, worst of both worlds. At least the r32 is light. Sc owners should know this better than anyone, its easy to make power... hard to shave weight.

GTR or GTS/M? mods?

it really depends on if its semi comparable to your sc..i know its a completely different platform, but i think you understand what i'm saying.

and the R32's werent bad at all...atleast the stock break rotors dont explode like the R33's, and R34's arent street legal due to crash test failures..

meh, i kinda dig the old R32...something about early 90s cars that kinda grabs me...

what kind of mods are one the car already? I can see some fancy rims, buts thats it. This car can definitely stand out with the right stuff, but it will cost a lot to mod. Also keep in mind that RB parts are kinda hard to find on this side of the world, so rebuilding it could take a little time. If i had the time and money to do it, then i would take the R32 any day of the week.

No not really at all...

thats like saying an SC with 97 and up body mods IS 100 percent a 97 up...what you cant convert???

I know the wide fenders and bumpers are gtr, but I also know plenty of none gtr's that look just like GTRs
