Y34 or Y33? HELP!!

Hello everyone, if anyone is actually reading this haha...i used to own an 03 M45 but after about 4yrs i got the itch and switched to a more mod friendly chasis, a 1969 Chevy C10 truck...long story short, im expecting my first child, so the 2 seater truck had to go....ive considered my options and would like to get back into a y34 or y33, even considered ucf10,20...theyre all within the same price range for a decent example and the aftermarket supports them all pretty well...im just trying to think out loud and would like some of you to weigh in with your OPINIONS, i know, my car, my choice...just wondering if there are things im not considering when making my choice...i will be dailying the car and keep in mind there will ofcasionally be a baby on board!....most likely whatever i end up with will get the same treatment as far as suspension, wheels, exhaust

i would say just get a car that has been known to not have many issues, then mod lightly.

The Y34 would be the most unique but modding is difficult. Everyone will ask always ask you about the car. The Y33 is the most gangster, lots of jdm aftermarket as well as second hand domestic. The end product is spectacular g vip. Ucf are cheap, lots of mod support from everywhere , that means these vip'd are everywhere so you need to put more flair to make it your own and stand out. maintenance on the Y34 are kinda cheap but hella tricky. the Y33 unless already done by the previous owner, its gunna be the big stuff like water pump. ucfs i cant say personally on maintenance.

Thanks for the input guys...all things considered:

UCF- too commonly spotted
Y33- the particular one i was considering was too much $$(4,600 at a dealer lot)
Y34- unique and drove better imho

happy to be back in a Y34!

My big ambition is to LS3 my Y34 but I coming to find out that it would be way easier on the y33 and even easier on the toyotas.

Wanted to go y33 but I had to walk on a salesman who wouldnt go lower, just wasnt in the cards. I picked up a clean, low miles, gray with black/walnut trim y34 2 days later...wish i found a green one though! Haha
