hmm a stock GTR? :D

but yeah, it does all come down to personal preference.

when deciding i opted for the 32 due to its aggressive racing looks as compared to the much larger and rounded (whale) of a 33. awesome car though, a few good improvemnts over the 32 such as a larger engine, something that will be going into the 32 soon hopefully :D

Note

400R front bumper $595

Nismo Style rear wing $595

400R Side Skirts $450

400R Rear bumper and spats $495

400R style Carbon bonnet $1095

ie around $3K and you have a R33 GTSt that looks like a 400R!!!!

no offence but doing that is fairly ricey :D

Either way I think u misunderstand. I didn't mean to bag the 33. As stated they're both nice cars and have more in similar looks wise than they are dissimilar. Enuff said on this topic as there seems to be a very negative vibe brewing for no reason.:D

Could of got a 33, however newer is not always better in both the GTSt and GTR. although it depends what your looking for,the 32 is a much more throw-able, sports orientated car. If you want more of a family car the r33 is the go, as it has it's taxi heritage.

Nissan said them self they were trying to build the r34 to have spirit and throwablity of the 32 and the space of the 33. So it all comes down to, of course, personal preference and prioritys

If you want tuff, get a 70s Landcruiser. You want racey buy an ex rally car complete with exhaust shop decals from head to toe.:D

I cant say i prefer R32s over R33s simply because i own an R32. I have seen some shocka R32s, and some shocka R33s. If looking at stockas, ie wheels, body, ride height i then have a slight preference for R32s.

Go enjoy a sunny weekend kicking tyres getting a feel for what you like, by way of styling and driving. If Melb is anything like Syd, caryards can be like Nazis when you want to test drive, one place wanted 5k deposit. But you will soon find a place that you will only be too happy to give your maney to.

Maybe some Vic guys should get together and give you a raz in their respective cars, if you were in Sydney id only be too happy to.

Well the R33 was designed in a period where Nissan also released, the S14 silvia. It seemed the mid nineties nissan wanted to add a bit of luxo to their sports cars, which is probably why the R33 and S14 both got larger and better optioned than their respective earlier series.

Where as the R34 and S15 seemed to gravitate back towards a more pure sports styling (something the R32 always seems to be credited with).

I wont offer an opinion on R32 vs R33 because obviously im biased.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
