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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
