im looking at purchasing either an 95ish r33 gtr vspec or 93ish r32 gtr

cant really make up my mind

spending about the same on both 30k ish , slightly less for 32

seems to be the 33v offers better value for money at the moment but im thinking the 32 would offer better long term value cause of its "classic" status

your thoughs

if the 32gtr is around the same price as the 32, its not a stocker... sus it out, and see whats done to it...

the 33vspec will outlast the 32gtr, as long as they are stockers...

the 32gtr if stock, and has a few 100 thou on the clock, will be after a rebuild very soon, so at least 10g needed there....

i have a supplier who has a couple of very clean mostly stock 32 gtrs , both 93 both around 90-100km . both around 27-28k . which is a lot but their condition is great and its from a dealer so you pay more for the warranty

on the other hand a couple of r33 vspecs privately or import for about the same

the r33s all seem to have aroudn the 100km mark also so im not expecting a huge difference in useage and reliability from them

Have You checkt out R32 GTR V-Spec II's? can get them around 25k - 28k impotred done under 100 km! Out of the R33 V-Spec or R32 GTR go with the 33 32's are old people i know who own them have problems with them alot but like ezi09s said R32 GTR for 30k must of have some fare bit of work on it.

good luck with it update us on what you buy :(

the difference is a matter of taste.

33 slightly heavier (and marginally slower, but by fractions), better brakes (brembos - same as 32 vspec)

33 looks like a fat silvia. (personal opinion, but sticking to it)

32 may hold its value better - due to 'classic' status.

32 looks better (again, personal opinion, but sticking to it)

but - 32 gtr vspec in good nick - less than 100k - for $25k ?

production volumes from nissan

Total Production 43,934 1989 -1994

GT-R 40,390

Nismo 560

Vspec 1,453

Vspec II 1,303

N1 228

if i saw a good, straight low k vspec II for less than $25k, i'd buy it.

and worry why i got it so cheap.

i got a 93 R32 Vspec and its been a really great car. Bought it 4 months ago on 90,000KM and i've done the 100K service. Its completely stock and has never given me grief. Service it and it will last for ages. I get around 430 KM for 60ltrs of petrol as well so its not awful. I love it, its got the Brembos and also the faster altessa system like the 33. I think its just like a early model 33 but better looking. Oh and there were only 1453 made so it will hold value better than the 33.

the last "cheap" 32 vspec I saw was 29k estimate import price and had 150000km on it :D

i have seen some good ones but there like 33-36k

I got a nice very clean 93 32 gtr under 100000 km . just waiting on comp test and inspection

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
