the reason why u dont see 32's on the road is because there too good to be driven everyday. if they were driven everyday theyd be like the r33, common and un-special :(

the only reason why i like 32's dayne is cause they crap all over 33's any day :lol:

you say 32 owners hide, i saw 2 r32's at summernats both GTR's, Both fine as. i saw one 33 and that was gtst. if there so embarrased then why would they rock up to a muscle car event? :rofl::):P :P

.....?

What are YOU up to?

Bluprint,

Its a secret :unsure: I need more power.

Anyhow, as we all know R32's are lighter, more nimble, and certainly faster than the fat old 33. Mind you, the 33's extra tourque and comfort make up for....... well nothing really.

The r32 may be cheaper than the 33, and feels like twice the bargan. Amazing!

Anyhow who wants to argue the point is more than welcome to line me up :D

Besides, we are all just sad we don't have R34 GTR VSpec II's sitting around in bayside blue. Maybe with a HKS 2.8 in it..... *goes to find a tissue*

oscar ill give you a run, mine is still stock turbo and i only managed a 13.4 on street tyres, i have done some more little exst mods since, plus next run i want slicks... I vote 33

32 lighter hey by what 100kg maybe 50kg how does an r33 with only 1260 sound to you....... lets run

R32's are OK, its good to see old cars that are looked after by their senile owners.

R33's are better, they fixed up all the mistakes they made with the 32.

1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to get ready and 4 to go..................

And that is about the truth until the ?R35? appears [if ever].

a point that hasnt been raised yet is that milk and juice only comes in 2 litres!!! :P

lets face it, if you want to pretend that you own a sports/performance car, buy an R32 or a Remote Control car! i know which would go quicker..... (the RC!!!) :(:):)

I drive a 32 and proud of it!

I aint embarrased to drive one at all. Ill take it everywhere and anywhere... (besides dirt)

And someone mentioned taht 32's are cheaper than 33's

Funny that, when i was buying mine, 32's were goin for more than 33's.

32's may hava an older shape.. but the 33's are to round.. like a lil bubble.. haha bubble..

yea.. i vote 32's.. there just a tougher car.

13.4 is a pretty good time on a stocker turbo! I'd be happy with that. If the cars were fully Stocker versus stocker I'd back the R32 though.

I havn't seen Tridents beast since all those juicy parts when in, I imagine that it'd go just fine...

MMMM Mira goodness. Oh yeah, 3 cylinder 650cc love baby :( Love it, 155 tyres, sexy faded paint, clutch squeals in each gear.

Frink!! Only really nasty, cheap old recycled juice comes in 2.5 litres, so there!!!!

Once mods come in, I'll back the car with the most money spent , or spent clever. Mods kinda change the whole thing. :) Besdies, is going fast the only part of the car being "better".

For looks, the 32 is classic, elegant, well thought out. The R33 looks like it needs a diet and some refining - say refinment all the way to a 34...

No one is arguing that a bit of capcity is a good thing, that said - boost is more important :)

MMMMM Tomei 2.4 stroker mmmmm.

2.8 hks..... *more tissues for me*

I really like the look of the R32’s and stock for stock I think they look maybe a little nicer than an R33 (although my opinion sways on this from time to time). However even with the simplest kits the R33’s seem to look nicer than both kitted or non-kitted R32’s IMO. Because of this the R33 is the choice for me, as with only a little bit of external modifications up they look amazing! Just my 2c :(

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
