Hey guys..

Im down to two cars now..

In two weeks both cars arrive and they are both mint condition.

Now here are my options.

r32 or r33 both white, manual, and turbs with low kms. Im assured by my importer that this is the best r32 that they have ever brought in.. so im leaning towards the 32 because it will possibly be cheaper and more mods..

*buy the 32 and mod it

*buy the 33 and keep it mainly stock.

What I want to know from you guys is how much potential there is with the RB20? Or if its worth just gettin the 33 so i can have the larger displacement engine..

Keeping in mind i want to take the car through the hills.. Which will handle better stock and possibly with coil overs.

I know its hard to compare but Im stuck.. I love the shape of the 32.. but the bigger power of the RB25DET is what catches my eyes..

Alternatively If i do get the R32.. how hard would it be to convert to RB25??

Any feedback appreciated.

Michael.

Importers always say a car coming in is the cleanest they've ever imported. Judge for yourself.

Personally I'd go the r33. Although I prefer the r32 shape, you can't go past the RB25. I personally didn't like the RB20. Only downside is that it is the most popular import going around at the moment.

Check out both cars, get the one in better condition at a better price.

The importer is a family friend.. he wont sell me a shit car.. He has been looking at cars for six months for me. These are the final two..

Yeah im not really keen on the RB20 either but im not fussed.

As for being popular.. they have died off in Adelaide.. A31 Cefiro's seem to be the new rage..

yeah r32 with rb25 = great.. i used to have one

best thing to do is to buy a very ordinary r32 gts non-turbo automatic for a few grand. then buy a written off r33 gtst (with damage to only sides and rear sothat engine/gearbox etc etc are still good) for couple grand and do an engine swap.

still should be cheaper than buying an r33 and u have a better car ;p

A mate of mine has an r32 with an rb25det in it. He just called up Nissan and asked them if the r32 skyline ever came with an rb25det in it, which I didn’t and they said it did, and put it in writing. Lucky him, u can try that, cause the r32 did come with an rb25de (non turbo) so they mite not know the difference.

And as far as performance his is definitely the best of both worlds, torque of the bigger engine and light and better looking r32.

Best of luck

Cheers for your input mate!

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
