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....

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
