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.

Neither me or anyone else here said anything about money or value :blink:

I'm just putting the facts out there about what is 'better'. And when you break it down, most of the time the newer is 'better'. Of course styling is personal preference - neither 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 is THE raw GTR...

The 1 which started it all, the 1 which crushed everything in it's path...

It's the 1 that grabbed my attention, made me say wow and the 1 which i fell desperate for since a little kid... :domokun:

wow... strong usage of "1"s :D

But like said.. all of them are great...

R32 are my favourite, but when i was looking to get a GT-R i noticed that there were far more R33's in excellent condition than R32's - I'm sure part of that has to do with age. Add to that the improved brakes, ATESSA and overall design of the car and i thought i'd be better off getting an R33 until i could afford to own an R32 and any potential age-related maintenance that may have to be carried out.

That's a nice story but it doesn't have anything to do with which is 'better' :) Which is what this thread is about :(

But i agree with you "all of them are great".

haha yeah i just wanted the facts of which was better. r32 would be the way to go, but i am currently overseas in the army. an will be over here for another 3.5 months. so now i have decided to go for the mother of all gtr's.. a r34 gtr v-spec. Quick change of heart but im sure you can understand.

what happened to the $20,000 budget?

If you've got any extra cash, send it my way please.

Don't forget to share and care dude :D

Anyway, it's personal preference.

R32 GTR - has always been the the original godzilla. Lightest of all GTRs. Minus point is that it's old.

R33 GTR - Unfortunately there have been too many GTSTs around wanting to be r33 GTSRs, sticking that badge behind. Which IMO made the R33 less unique. R33s are generally called the 'whale'. Plus point is that it has the more advance parts than the R32. :(

i hope i can be of some help here: 6 months back i had the money to choose from all three ... altho i love the 34 to bits and kms are much lower in general. i still settled for the 32 purely because of its size... i wanted something that looked nimble and low(32 is an inch lower than 33-34) styling of the 32 is on a need to know basis everything has a purpose and there isnt too much extra bling except the climate control.

main downside of owning the original gtr is maintenance... because of their age there are things that need replacing.... this can be an advantage because when u replace, u can up it a level and customise your car the way u want it!

good luck! but if u love hills go the 32

yeah i see where you coming from mate. i actually will be stuck over seas longer then anticipated so i am in the run for a r34 gtr v-spec. It wat i have always wanted from way back.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
