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.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
