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)..

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
