Hi guys, I've been doing some research on these 2 cars, but just wanna hear from what you guys think (if you guys have been in a Accord Euro) on which is a more prefered car. I know they are both are different types of cars but anyone heard like any good new or bad news on a Euro before? Has anyone actually decided in having to pick one of these! Any opinions would be appreciated! thanks!

They're 2 completely different cars mate. If you want a neat, comfortable family/business car then get the Euro. If you like mountain runs, drag, circuit, speed then get the R33 GTR. My dad has a nice Euro Luxury that's been serving him well for a few years but i'd still take the R33.

this is kind of like asking whether you want soup of pizza for tea. they are 2 completely different cars. it really comes down to what you want. if you want performance then go the gtr, if you want a reliable daily driver that is very comfy and is 'zippy' then go the honda. if you want something that you can waste people in the traffic light grand prix then go the gtr. if you drive over rough roads and hate rough rides go the honda.

just remember that the honda is fwd, so if you have never driven a fwd with a bit of power in the wet then don't boot it halfway through a corner and expect it to keep turning as sharply as it was, and don't try to pull out into that small gap in traffic in the wet either cause you will just sit on the spot and spin. i have a magna, so i know all about understeer and wheelspin when trying to beat traffic.

i work at a honda dealership and have for the lasty 3 1/2 years and i cannot say a bad word about the euro's. They are a very reliable car. But like everyone else has said it depends what you want the car for because they are both completely different

:unsure: yeah I know they are both completely different cars but I just wanted to know if anyone had to pick between both of these which one they chose.

I mean if I had to pick I dont mind any but has anyone heard anything bad about the euros? I've checked on the forums of ozhonda and yet i see nothing bad or anything of the euro. I'm happy with a 4 door family car and happy to continue the skylines with all-wheel drive twin turbo powered car drooolll... :O

edit: I like em both and my fiance and I are deciding to buy one of these later down the year.

my parents have an accord euro, they are pretty nice cars. but the gearbox in it is pretty shit in my opinion. 1st gear revs out heaps quick and is hard getting used to driving it from a stand still (hill starts etc) not sure if its just our euro or if its all euros tho? i had a r33 gtst that was pretty modded and i loved it, regret selling it now. got a wrx now and i think its a heap of shit. ill be going to another nissan in about 6 months to a year. im thinking r33 gtr, s15, r34 gtt. not definate wat to get tho. i love all of them and best bet is to go drive the cars your thinking about buying and go from there. if u think about it, ur buying a brand new car vs a early model car. drive both and decide what you like to drive under daily usage.

something you also have to take into account is general running costs. the honda won't be too bad cause it should be light on fuel, you don't have to run premium, insurance should be cheaper, etc.

also if you go the honda you are less likely to get the modification bug, as there is little you can do to really get them going. and the mods you do don't really require other mods, unlike a gtr if you go bigger turbos then you really need to go aftermarket ecu, etc and it is just a trickle down effect. 1 mod leads to another mod needed to be made, etc.

Supra :laughing-smiley-014:

i will go for GTR33

well yea if you drive it everyday why buy gtr33,do you really want to race in every traffic lights? especially when you are started a family, i think the euro is more convenient.. about the euro though, heaps of my friend got accord euro, you really cant say bad thing about it... and if you want the more luxury one, go for the other accord (not euro)..

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
