So this guy wants to trade he's 93 Nissan skyline r32 for my 08 mugen si do u guys think that's a good trade?

 

It really depends on whether you want it as a daily whip or a weekend ride. The R32 is a really cool ride, but parts are hard to get if you don't have a good friend who owns a wrecking yard in Japan, and the maintenance on the RB26DETT engine can be daunting. It is a hard decision.

 

Depends where you're located. IMO the CSi is such a more practical car and, dare I say it, a much smoother and balanced handling car. A Mugen Civic Si I'd say is worth around 20k so unless you're trading for a mint GTR in pristine condition then I'd skip it. They just aren't worth that much really.

 

Car enthusiast aspect aside, ask yourself is trading for a 15 year older car a good deal?

Just because skylines are bad *** cars, doesn't mean they are immune to age. If you want to do more than gawk at it in the garage, I would say bad deal.

 

If its pristine, a GTR, and you've already got a daily driver, go for it. If any of those things are missing, skip it.

You could sell your mugen Si for 20k, then buy something equally as fun/powerful that won't be quite as difficult to maintain.

 

No way, I would never consider that trade. First off, I'm pretty sure the Si is worth more money, and second, it's a 4 year old car, versus a 19 year old car.

 

as much as skylines are bad ***, its still a 19 year old car. parts are gonna be stupid hard to find. if something breaks you'll go weeks waiting for replacement parts and you'll be out of a car for that time

 

Unless its a GTR this is the only time I'd ever say Civic > Skyline.
