what's an R33 GTR-S?

^^^^^^^+1

?????

SO you want a 32 or 33, some guy gets you a photo of a 32 then you say 32 is now rubbish. Then you say 33 gtr-s. Maybe you meant r33 gtr's like your gonna get two? maybe take your time, do more research then you have to date then, buy whatever you want and behave yourself.

Ova.

the 33 failed in design, hence the face lift on the series 2

Wtf? Where'd you get that info from? The R33 never failed...it's a very popular model and to many of us is awesome, bodykits make it even sweeter.

And WTF? Hence S2? They're practically identical, the bonnet and side ridges were sharpened, front bar tweaked, boot features coloured differently, and interior made worse with cheap upholstery. How is that more than minor tweaks, like on any other car?

R33 S1 (& S2) is more mature looking than R32. Look, even Domenico agrees:

i like the front and sides of the R33 better. Personally i think it's one of the greatest body shapes ever.

Hmmm, one of the greatest ever? :P

Yes, it's unique.

Buy the R33 gts and sell it once you have done some driver training in it. Don't mod it, as waste of money.

93kw in a RWD car is still going to be fun. I had fun driving my AE92 Corolla for fks sake! :D

Buying a car should be an act of passion, not just reasoning. Now go forth and test drive!

I dont understand the R34 looking cheap compared to an R33.. but then again interiors vary depending on the spec.

I know the GTTs definitely dont look cheap, but ive never been around a non turbo to compare:)

get the turbo 32 DO IT

Alot of people still perfer the R32 styling to the R33 personally if i was gonna get a R33 i would go for the R33 series 2. If you do decide to purchase a R32 get the later models 92-93 models as they have updated interior just feels and looks nice than your early 1990 R32s, hope this help you to make your decision.

Well....First of all let me say that personally I think your sig is a disgracefully cheap shot at an Australian Icon who has done nothing but cared for all.

2nd, get the lower power R33 you obviously don't have the maturity in my opinion to even handle a turbo.

2 cents worth, do what you want I don't care.

I did not say i didn't want the R32 because of the photo, and that was a SERIES 2 R32. I've stated many times that i prefer a newer vehicles, and that should be reason enough for turning away from the R32

Yeah... sure, and you don't have the maturity to handle a pokemon steve irwin gag. Your opinion is clearly worth no more than 2 cents anyway.

glad your back Dom, What is a gtr-s? The search feature on this site might be a bit difficult to use, however if you did become aquainted with it you will appreciate the knowledge of others from years gone by. If you have decided that you no longer like a 32 due to age, then you have answered your own question. thread closed.........please :D

      I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
