32 is the best looking no doubt. and it will not 'date' as badly as the 33 and 34 will. I mean it's already 20 years old and still looks beautiful.

i rkn the r32 has a pretty ugly rear richard....wat about u?

nah, I love the 32 shape. from all angles. I have owned a few different GTRs now but still love the 32 GTR. I guess that's why I have 2 of them now.

I respect the 34 has lots of lots of advantages over the 32 (better wheels, better brakes, better interior, better seats, better chassis, better electronics, etc etc) but we are just talking about looks here, and I think that classic coke bottle shape of the 32 will be considered beautiful long after the 34 is considered dated and '90s'.

I ask people all around japan which is their favourite GTR. and I'm talking people like hayashi-san (owner of Garage Saurus) he loves the 32, owner of HKS kansai? prefers the 32. tets, owner of prime garage? prefers the 32 (in fact he said the only GTR he was so moved buy that he bought one brand new was the R32). I would say 90% of the GTR tuners I spoke to in Japan love the 32. everything the 33 and 34 have they owe to the 32 which pioneered all of their gear and forged that reputation.

I agree with Baron, it was way ahead of its time (lots of ways including style :D ) and was the original and still the best. I like it more because it is a classic and created a reputation. But i still love the road presents of the r34 gtr and hope i can have one of them soon to :O.

but the lights richard.......the lights

I've always had a thing for the 33. Maybe because that's what i was exposed to most when i first became interested in Skylines (also think how cool the YouTube videos are of the Top Secret 33 doing 200mph, also when Clarkson tested the Jun Super Lemon).

But the 32 has really grown on me, as with the 34. I guess they're all great individually- the more time you spend around one the more attached you become. This wouldn't happen if they weren't awesome cars. One of my mates has a hard looking 32. It has really convinced me it's a classic.

But still, i'd take a 33 over the rest. It's simple lines can really be complimented with a good kit (even the stocker), a Nismo bonnet and dropped a couple of inches with a set of bronze TE37's it just makes me drool the way any Euro exotic makes me drool.

Love em all!

32 - Classic, almost ageless, looking at phenlines first pic... that is beautiful.

33 - Big and tough looking, phat and fat.

34 - Love the flashback to the pronounced lines, and also the toughest looking of the lot. Something to really compete on the world stage in the looks dept.

In reality though, the R35 does make them all look dated whether you like the new shape or not.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
