Hey,

I've recently sold my '96 gtst (manual, 105k odo) and am now not entirely sure what I want to do. There's a 32GTR that has my interest ('93). I am hoping there are other people on this forum who have gone from a GTST/GTT of any sort to a GTR (32,33,34). Was there a 'big' difference? Is it worth the money (assuming car is in good condition - mechanically). I'm going to test drive it tomorrow, so I guess I know a little more then :|

Thanks.

I guess it does come down to people's opinion on what they like. However, I think most people would rather drive a GTR then a GTST if they could, I'm not saying everyone but most people IMO.

Some people don't like a R32 at all and only like the R33/R34 some its the other way around and they like the R32's and not the R33's/R34's.

I think if you don't mind either way from the 32 or 33 and the 32 drives well after you take it for a test drive tomorrow, go for the GTR.

If you don't mind me asking, how much are you paying for it if you do buy it?

My friend went from 32 gts-t to 32 GTR (with another car in the middle, but we wont talk about that one)

I have driven both and own a 32 gts-t myself. The GTR is a monster, the combination of that engine with the AWD system is phenominal. You do not appreciate how fast the car is till you look down at the speedo and get the shock of your life!!

It has ferocious acceleration and cornering ability. Lightly modded and they are more they I could ever want... To own a GTR is to own far more than a car...

As a side note, make sure you compression test any GTR you are seriously considering and goodluck! Be sure to post pics in the R32 Pics Thread (Photography Section) of this website.

Maybe a 33 gtr would be a good applicant..

I know i wouild upgrade to a 33 gtr, from a 33 gtst..

I just think the 32 gtrs are getting to old.. Unless you find one in mint condition.. But overall they are getting old.. thats what i feel anyways..

Well, that's right. I've looked at the car - wasn't ready for driving when I saw it (not complied). Looked very tidy inside (steering wheel etc could have recently been replace though. Who knows?). I'll only be purchasing it if it's in excellent condition...

edit:

ThugishPimp; price on this one is kinda high for a 32. It's basically stock (which is what I'm after) - except for some random cat-back exhaust system and some kinda nice (very) deep dish wheels. Price is $25.5k, but I know I can get the seller down atleast $1.5k.

Fair enough, make sure you get a compression test done as well if you are keen as already posted. Check everything including that the K's a genuine. Is it a fresh import? If not, do a Revs Check too I think that is what it's called.

probably done more like 150-200.

for 25k, you're scraping into r33 gtr territory. If you spend another 3-4 k, so about 28-29, you'll be getting a much better newer car

What he said.

R33 GT-R's have dropped alot in price over the last year or so, you can get excellent R33 GT-R's for low 30's, high 20's.

in the future after ive made a fair few more payments on hte house loan i intend on selling my lightly modded 33 t and getting myself a genuine 400r though finding one might be a problem. I LOVE R33's.

though someday im going to need a 4 door family car... the decision to either drop the 33t an go a 4 door that can double duty, ie, evo8mr or keep a weekender and buy a big cruiser like a range rover or jeep cherokee for the family is the idea.

meh bloody mortgages cost too frign much man !!!! bank fee's and interest rates are a frign joke.

Yes, the R32 was much much different to drive. Performance was a little better, but it was mainly the handling and different gear ratios that I liked. Additonal torque was very easy to feel too :) Very different car to drive. Won't be buying that particular example though, as the body was not in reasonable condition.

i agree with ctjet i had a 32 gtr they !@#$ing crack but parts and maintance is alot more expensive than a 33 gtst so depends if ur willing to spend the extra dollars to have a gtr or have the 33 which still goes alright but alot cheaper.

    • With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
