Hey there guys, im new to the whole skyline thing and about to purchase one... problem is, what one?

Im either going to go a R32 Gtst or a R33 Series 2 Gtst

Would would people suggest?

I know i can buy a R32 cheaper and spend the money on it... or just buy a newer car with some mild mods

or pro's and cons of either one...

Any help would be most appreciated, Thanks guys

im sure this topic will be pretty biased.. but here goes:

i would choose the 33 s2 simply because its newer, more powerful, bigger turbo, may have less km's, mild mods will see it with some pretty good numbers...ect ect..

realistically, you need to choose what you like, some people absolutly hate the look of 33's, while others hate 32s. regardless of that, the way i look at it, the newer more modernised updated version is ussually the winner.

of course people will argue against it, so the best influence and decision is your own.

also list some specs about both cars. i.e what year, current mods, future mods, kms, ect.. that will then make better opinions than just whats better a 32 or 33.

good luck and welcome! :bunny:

i got a series 2 r33. IMO - it looks bloody nice (specially the back), more power, more space inside, nicer interior etc. And as mentioned - minor mods can make a huge power difference to the stock version. However, the car is big (compared to the r32) - both bulky and its as long as a family sedan.

R32, is old - so there might be more problems than the r33 - but this comes down to how the previous owner used it. If it straight from japan, you probably would never know how the previous owner used it (i.e if ur buying one off a SAU member, u will have an idea as to what the car has been through).

Both are great cars on the road and track....pretty much, either one u go for, u cant lose - unless u buy a lemon.

both are old, heck even R34's are getting long in the tooth,

Depends how the particular car you're looking at is kept

Personally I'd go the Series II R33, with the front lip they can look quite mean

Good luck with your purchase

Thanks for the advice guys, looks like the 33 S2 is the members choice, but still i guess it does come down to my own decision, i do love the style and look of a 32 but the 33 being newer and a better chance of having less problems is prolly going to be my choice.

All i have to do is find a decent one in brisbane that isnt over priced....

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
