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

    • 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.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
