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.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
