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.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
