No prizes for guessing which model i have, i chose my car becuase i like the look of the s2 33, but find the s1 ugly,i have a family with two young kids, so the size of the 33 was a big plus. I do track days with SAU NSW members and the 33 is the best handling car i've owned. I have never driven a 32 but i have to say it was the 32 gtr's of richards and skaife that got me interested.

The choice is personal taste, i don't know if the weight advantage of 60-80kg's is going to make the 32 any better of a car around corners and to tell the truth i don't care, i love my car and i'll keep driving it as hard as i can (at the track of course!) I feel comfortable and have confidence in that i know what it's gona do and when. My advice is the find a car you feel the same way with too, either car is as good as it makes you feel.

They're both Skylines and depending on who you ask one is better then the other, but the one which is better for you is for you to decide.

Wow... great helpful post there Nisskid, I'm sure the OP has taken your post into consideration as it would be definately the most helpful post so far.

Take your childish comments elsewhere. Perhaps you should go hang out with the boostcruising boys.

Oh. and R33's are only good if you need a car to buy your weekly groceries LOLLLL :wub::wub::/

Really? the boot in my 32 is a damn sight larger than any 33 boot (except maybe a 4dr.. haven't seen their boots). I can still fit a shitload of shopping in there even with my sub.

lol yeh cos thats all there is to a car :worship:

the interior is also better... the styling. ect...

wow u beat a GTS-4...congrats, they are heavier than R33 gts-t's and still only have an RB20 in them, u must feel honoured. sorry but street dragging is no way of measuring speed, even though the R32 in that scenario was a shit heavy one, for all we know he could have been a shit driver aswell.

and your rwd gts-t still only has an Rb20. god your a n00b.

Perhaps you should go hang out with the boostcruising boys.

he does, hence why hes such a dick.

wtf ur the one trying to claim that the R33 is faster based on a street race.

this thread is about performance, not styling, keep on track. i know RB20's arent as good u tool, read my posts, its the weak point of R32's compared to R33's, just like the weight is the weak point of R33's, and when u combine those weakness's together (r32 GTS-4) its gonna be slow.

and wtf since when do i ever post on boostloosers.com? i finally figured out why ur such a tool to me, ur that little bitch that was having a whine in the Vic Wasteland, get a life ffs, having a grudge on the internet just displays ur pathetic character.

I had the same debate when i went skyline shopping

I orginally wanted a 32 gtst, but after seeing the prices they go for i decided to also look at a 33 gtst

The r33 ended up the winner for me because:

It handled better than the 32 that i drove (they both had coilover kits)

Power delivery in the 33 felt a lot better

More room in the 33 which is good for me as i often cart around a few boxes + i think the interior is nicer

It had lower k's and i could insure it for more :huh:

Sure it has the extra weight, but it also has the .5 L capacity to make up for it

That said i'd still love a 32 as i absolutely love the shape, but the 33 is starting to grow on me

In the end we are all winners - we drive skylines :P

its a known fact that many believe the R33 skyline is the failure in the skyline series.... (prior to the release of the v35 lol)

Just remember that this statement was made about the GTR's. So in all why get a skyline if it's not a GTR. 32 GTR FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha. j/k. I reckon the 32's look better but i no alot of people that reckon the 33's look better. As long as we all agree that they both look better than the huge ass end of a 34 :P.(i love the look of the front of the 34's but i just can't stand the rear of them)

lol i dont think you even know what your posting....

a few posts before this one, it was about performance. and now its not...

stop posting child. your making yourself look foolish.

^^i may have missed what u said, but the RB25 actually has more torque down low.

lol i dont think you even know what your posting....

no argument? just gonna throw around a few more immature insults?

a few posts before this one, it was about performance. and now its not...

hang on what? that makes no sense, ur saying this thread isnt about performance anymore? i dont think ive tried to argue about anything except performance.

Edited by nisskid

damn this thread could be moved to boostcruising! they'd understand it all, 5pages of crap.

Turko, go and test drive as many cars as you can, then sit down and make your own desicions, its easy for us to say this is faster, that one performs better, but what we say you mighten agree with when you acually get in the car and drive it for yourself.

one thing is sure....take your time before you buy the car, never buy the first one you look at or drive.

CJ :(

^^100% agree, like ive said its mainly personal choice and these threads really dont help the original poster, more of a vent for individual members. in the end u have gotta get in the 2 cars and take them for a drive and then make ur mind up.

  • 2 weeks later...

I honestly dont see any need for the mild hostility.. i mean after all we all on SAU drive skylines of different models, or other models but it doesnt make squat difference!

ITS STILL A NISSAN! Obviously ppl hav different opinions on how the car performs which is fine!.

Anyhow i think theyre both great cars, iv driven both. I cant say either ones better cos they both look/perform just as well.

Its just a pleasure to see another skyline driver wave back at you on the road. I dont see that sort of behavior amongst other cars, eg honda's etc.

Hahahaha i do that too :stupid: alot of skylines give me a funny look..

Reminds me of the "Motorbike nod"

Its like the nod/wave means "How frikken awesome is this " :yes:

This thread is a absoloute crack up....

33's are great, i had one, love the shape of the 32 allthough i have never driven one...

34 rocks but...

As it was posted before you all drive skylines so your all winners :laugh:

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
