The 33's have a newer feel obviously but the r32's are smaller, lighter, handles better, has better fuel consumption and its chassis feels that little bit more performance orientated. The R33 is a nice balance between both but the R34 being the best feel of all where it some how feels like a family car then you hit the twisties and its predictable and sharp.

Stock for stock they are fairly close in performance until the R33 gets an ecu in to it then the R32 simply can't keep up.

i used to own a r32 now i've gone to r33, newer car etc, bit more roomy, bit extra power etc, feels better to drive for me personally.

although the r32 felt like you could throw it around a lot lol, fun can to drive and great handling as well!

i think you should test drive both, then decide yourself that's you best bet!

As for fuel consumption, turbo cars drink through fuel easy....depends how much boost your running/how heavy your right foot is!

i've found them both to be fairly reliable..

incase you havent picked up on it yet..

R32 GTSt = RB20DET (2.0 litre engine)

R33 GTSt = RB25DET (2.5 litre engine)

there is a little top gear segment on buying skylines, its alright, doesnt give you the complete picture, but its a good place to start (you tube has it).

most people chose the R33 because of the engine differance, if it was me, R32 all the way as i prefer the chassis (just put a RB25 in it). But in the end cassis is a very personal thing its the engine thats the important bit.

But your GTS4 is released from factory as an N/A GTS4

An Rb20DET running 1bar, fmic and exhaust pushes out around 170rwkw on the stock ecu.

Then consider the weight difference of the R33 GTS4 to the R32 GTS4 and I think you will find it is damn close. :)

If you want real performance grab a cheap 9-10k R32 GTS4 and drop a couple hundred $$ s/h running rb30 in it with an rb25 head, gt35r and push out 300+rwkw easily with strong power from 2500rpm. :)

Besides the point... By the time one speds the $$ on a gearbox and motor for the R32 GTST your out of pocket more than if you bought the R33 gtst. :) So buy R32 GTS4. :P

maybe you miss understand the comparison hes clearly looking @ Turbo engines it really doesn't matter that mine came NA because the to afore mentioned cars are both GTS4 and turbo, it would of been the same as comparing R32 GTSt and R33 GTSt

you claim RB20DET with intercooler and 1bar makes you 170rwkw i claim RB25DET with intercooler and 1bar makes 200rwkw or so close too its neglegable

so really the choice must be a RB25DET engined vehicle or RB30/25DET

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.

      The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned.

      Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?

      I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
