I'll be buying a car later this year and have started looking at R33's but lately I have been looking at R32's as well.

I think both look great, and as they both seem to be around the same price range I'm not sure of which to get.

I can't afford a GTR so they are out of the question but which version of the GTST should I go for?

Are their any obvious pros or cons which makes one better than the other?

Cheers.

I would go for the R33, better engine, brakes, it's newer, etc. Just go for the car that's in better condition if you're stuck in the middle in my opinion.

I have a feeling this gonna turn into a R32 vs. R33 thread.

I was in your footstep mid last year... looked around at R32s then thought they were too old... looked at getting an R33 but the ones in Aus already that was in my price range were the Series 1 R33 shape which I wasnt too fond of... looked back at getting an R32... almost decided to buy an R32... then I impulse paid an importer and ended up importing a late 1998 R33 Series II 40th Anniversary haha best thing I've ever done absolutely love this car :domokun:

This guy too. Excellent advice. Newer, less problems, more modern technology.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
