go a r34 just newer with a more modern interior newer engine etc if you can afford it. But like the guys said if you wanna drift or just have a turbo to strap around in get the 32 over a 33 anyday

hmmm hard choice r32's are all hot i have one myself, s14s i only liked the series two's they look mean but now after watch the drift bible i really like his S14 S1 its nice, and in the r33 it can only be series 2

but depends on the use

Work out what you need from a car, then choose based on that. If you regularly have more than one passenger, then maybe the S14 is a bit too small. If you do a lot of highway kms, the larger R33 body may be a little more comfortable. The R33 would probably hold the cards over the other two in a straight line too, despite the extra weight (25% more capacity will do that :) ). If you want to drive like a nutcase, buy the S14 (and go join NS.com :rofl:). The R32 is probably between the two in character IMO.

Don't work your lifestyle around your car - get a car to fit your lifestyle!! :(

S1 S14s are shockingly ugly. They look like the front lights of a Camry. You’re never going to turn heads in that thing.

Don’t get this unless you plan on giving it a strawberry face (S15) latter.

33 is great if you want to do 0 - 25 knots in under ten seconds

32 is a 15 year old car.

just as a guide, my S14 had 175rwkw using exhaust, FMIC, pod, 1 bar boost, SAFC.

ran a best of 13.8 with all stereo, heavy 17's, full tank of fuel.

best 60" time I got was 1.9

my options would be

1.) S14

2.) R33

3.) R32

Oddly enough, the current car I have is an R32 4 door GTS4.

which ever one i get it's gonna be used as an everyday car so no track use at all.

but ofcourse there will be some cash spent on both cosmetics and engine. unfortunately i can only afford series 1 s14 and early model R33.

thanks

if it's just a daily car and no track use i say go the 33 GTST. cushy seats, newer, roomier (slightly) car and more torquey engine. that's if you dont mind driving a whale of course.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
