I have an R33 GT-R and my friend has an R32. The R33 has slightly more torque and power as standard but that is masked by the extra weight, as is the extra braking from the brembos. The R32 feels more 'chuckable' because of being lighter too.

One major difference is the way the Atessa hooks up. In the R32 the rears will spin a little more before the fronts engage, allowing a little more drift out of corners, whereas the R33 has a % pre-load on the front wheels and therefore engages quicker.

Hope that helps a bit

32 has always been the raw gtr the least forgiving and snappiest :banana: 33 is kinder and more forgiving... atessa is more advanced and quicker.

Dollar for what you get id go for the 32...? Look sharper, (more like the traditional skyline shape). More nimble. Not a big fan of the look of the 33 either. Either were Nissan i think, as the 34 looks more like a 32 than the 33 does. THey went back to the sharper angular look of the GTS-X style.

Personal opinion only! i know what id get!

I'll copy paste this from another thread.

32/33/34 GTRs are all great cars.

But newer is usually better, when it comes to performance that is. GTR fits into this generalisation.

If you want to talk about styling, they all look good, and it comes down to personal preference.

But when talking about performance:

Engine. 34 > 33 > 32.

ATTESA 34 > 33 > 32.

Suspension Setup 34/33 > 32. (34 was built to be more friendly on tyres from factory, but very similar to 33.

Seats 34 > 33 > 32.

Wheels 34 > 33 > 32.

Brakes 34 > 33 > 32 (32vspec same as 33)

Weight 32 > 33 > 34 (Lighter is better)

I could go on. So All those who are claiming the 32 is the best, assuming you're not talking about styling here - because we don't buy GTR's for their styling, we buy them for their performance right? What exactly is it that makes 32's so much better than 33s? or 34s?

I said it above, i'll say it again, All 3 Models of GTR are great cars.

32 lighter than the 33.....wow, buy a whole 45-50kgs, its not really a big deal, nor an argument as to why go one over the other!

same boat as someone else above, 2 mates have 32 GTR's, I have a 33, theirs are awesome cars, but its an age thing, going from a 33 yourself, you'll quickly feel like you are in a much older car driving a 32, just from the interior alone.

Either way, you'll be happy!

yeah but ferni for the difference of $25k for a decent 32 to $60k for a decent 34, is it worth it?

We are also talking value for money here, right? I wouldnt be able to justify spending 60k on a 34. Id rather buy a 32, then spend 10k on it if need be.

33's suck dick man there just straight up ugly

32 is the original giant killer man i have one and i love it.

the interior is fine has every thing u need in it

for sure, man!

why the hate, its not a Holden vs Ford type of deal, they are all GTR's.....ugly LOL!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
