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....

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
