A Skyline is much more rare than a Type R. I would buy the Skyline. Can you post pictures of the two cars?

hey paul
i think you were deciding between a skyline or a beamer i think about 4 months ago?? if im correct??? this is a better choice to compare if you are serious and are going through.... i prefer the r32. but ...and i know you probably already know this,,, whats important is the easy of power buid up,, yes the r is very easy to buid up with power, but it has it limit..i think the highest ive seen (without being a full sponsored drag car ) was about 450 horsepower... and thats with a complete engine buid up.. now take the stock skyline motor , this engine was built to withstand 500-600 horsepower using stock internals... with easily 1,000 horse for another 5 thousand put in....
so if you look at it just by building it up you save all of trouble... plus the rarity of the skyline. which may get you some magazine covers if not more sponsors than the r ... but keep us informed on what happens... both cars are great, but i think the skyline is overall a stronger and has more potential to gain you some money and sponsor ship later in life....
