i could have got a 32 for the same price as i got my 33 for, but the 33's have a better body style,32 looks too squared and flat,for my taste anyway,each to their own choice of car :thumbsup:

^^ i dont think there is that many r32 owners who weren't in that position.

I still think some 33 gt'r are nice though :verymad:

i LOVED my R33 to pieces... the p plate laws made me sell and buy an R32... which i learnt to love!

both great cars, if only you could combine all great things from the both!

i found the 33 alot more comfortable.. and NEW! ,.... sitting inside the r32 reminded me that i was driving a really old car!

and then having to replace the engine and gearbox reminded my wallet that i was driving a really old car :)

lol

haha perfect quote...

depends on taste i guess.. How is it sad? Paying more for a car you prefer is never sad in my books..

I f**king hate 33's to tell u the truth :verymad: can't stand the styling, for me r32 GTR > everything hehe

Haha soon there is going be a SAU war between the R32 drivers and the R33 drivers :verymad: But in the end the R34 owners would drive past knowing that they win the battle anyway.

Even though in my post I expressed my opinion about not being thrilled about the body shape of the R33 (I believe I said it reminds me of a commodore or falcon :) ) to see that some other R32 owners feel the same way basically sums up this post. Even though some people are asking the same amount of money for a R32 then a R33 alot of the time the price will be talked down (it is the same story with R33 prices) and if you factor in import costs and such people aren't really making that much money from selling a R32 for around 12k (which is commonly the going price after talking down the price). Whenever a car is advertise people always add a couple of grand on top of what they are expecting to recieve it is not because they are "Dreamers" it is basically because they know people will try to talk them down in price which is what almost always happens and at the end the day the seller gets the amount they wanted and the buyer gets the feel good about themself for being able to knock off some money from the purchase price. Which is why you should always try to knock off some money from a car unless you are happy to pay the amount that it is advertised for.

At the end of the day we all love our skylines no matter what model it is and I think the R32 has hit its baseline for a little while now and prolly wont be pushed down too much further. R33's are now getting cheaper because of there age and with R34's getting older pushing there prices down which in return pushes R33 prices down.

I still remember not too long ago (a couple of years) when a R32 GTS-T common price was around 17k and a R33 GTS-T was 24k and I believe at that time the R34 GT-T was chasing around 40k. Now look at your prices R32 GTS-T 10-12k, R33 (12-17k) and R34 GT-T(25-30k).

i got a little bored after the 3 pages but . there several things i learned about a car and buying over the years.

- not an assest. (very rarely will you get more than you pay'd for.. unless importing ect..)

-depreciation is different on all cars due to what the market wants

-people ask alot , people pay alot and visa versa.

I think personally, that skylines hold their value quiet well, sure they depreciate and it seems that the 32 is fetching around the same price as the 33. But if theres more demand for a 32 (esp in VIC) then the price will rise.

just feel lucky were not driving Commonwhores and Falcoons,

brought my VS exec for like 11k back in the day, sold it for 4k 2 years later....

and i feel for all those people who payed like 20k for VTs ect.. and like a year later there fetching for 12 or even 10.. thats ridiclous!

How bout those poor bastards that bought a s1 vt ss and got the 185kw 5l gas guzzlin 1.85 ton anchor and then like 3 months later they bring out the s2 and it has the 5.7 225 kw ls1

you may as well pay an extra $2 or 3K more and get a 32 GT-R

now there's a ridiculous situation

well said...the money GTST owners want is a bit optimistic...They are are getting old and smokey these days...R33s are still a bit fresher or bite the bullet and go the GTR for me

^^ some people (namely myself) didn't want 4wd, didn't like the look/feel/size of a 33 and really enjoy the dynamics of the 32 gtst. The only thing is lacks is torque.. hence the RB30 :(

A few of my mates have 33's and everytime I get in the passenger or drivers seat of one, it reinforces how much I love my 32.

One of those mates wanted a 32 but due to financial reasons had to go with the CHEAPER s1 33.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
