Pretty much up to you...

But i had the money for a 33 and still bought a 32 coz i like the shape better and now i have money to spend on the 32.

Also 33's are getting pretty common

[Cubes]

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..

R33 Rb25 ftw

[Deluxe]

Yeh dude go test drive both and work out what feels better for you! Besides asking that on here is like everyone telling you what they have!

RB20 FTL

The R33 really is the better starting point.

Bigger motor, better flowing head makes power easier

Good Gearbox that will handle anything you throw at it.

I'm all for the R32 chassis though.

r32 + rb25.....well.....3lt preferred

[Fishpaste~]

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.

Performance wise (IMO)

R33 Driveline > R32 Driveline

R32 Everything else > R33 Everything else

this is a endless debate, R33's are nice for crusing etc, but u cant beat the light and nible feeling of a R32 through the hills with a R33.

32 is the only way to go if u want performance, an i think they have a bit btr interior as well

as for performance my GTS4 will smash your GST4 any day mine with no serious mods just like yours

EDIT if you want real performance get a R32 GTR

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.

im trying to make my car into a great hills cruiser/attacker. see how we go on suspension but i think its possible.

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

[Deluxe]

Just remember its the same if a car has 200kw and weights 1500kgs as aposed to a car that has 170-180kw and weight 1400kgs! Personally i alway try and get a newer car everytime i upgrade! couldn't have a 32 gtst i would only ever go a 32 GTR!
