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

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
