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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
