R32 GTS-4 or R33 GTS-T

[shae009]

im buying a new car very soon, and there's a few R32 GTS-4's around, which go for roughly the same price as an R33 GTS-T.

i dont know which to choose...the GTS-4 im sure would have wicked handling with 4WD and 4WS, but are an older car than the R33.

being a 4WD, it has more drive shafts, i look it as more things that can have problems, same with the 4WS, but im not sure, i dont know heaps about skylines, even though im sure they are all put together well, so im asking, what do you guys reckon would be best?

1990 - 1992 R32 GTS-4 or 1993 - 1995 R33 GTS-t???

Any opinions would be great.

Depends on what your after from the motor as well. RB20DET vs RB25DET, and you really dont wanna get into that debate.

Just be aware that the R32 GTS-4 weighs a fair bit more than the normal GTSt R32. If you have any problems with 4WS its easy enough to install a lock kit for a few hundred dollars and immediately be rid of any issues.

For risk of offending many GTS-4 owners on here, id either go with an R32 GTSt or R33 GTSt... both great fun cars. Just depends on what styling and powerplant you prefer.

Not sure where you are getting your pricing from, but an R32 GTS-4 should be about $4-$6k less than a nice (as in good condition) 33GTS-t

We have an R32 GTS4 and an R33 GTST in our family and I can tell you now that the R32 has bugger all torque. You'll find you're always flogging the piss out of it just to get some decent performance. The SR20 has more torque......go figure.

The 4WD is fun none the less.

depends what u want, ive always loved the way a r32 looks, age dosnt really mean much. and like if u want 4wd then yer get a gts-4 but if its not that important, then your choice should be between an r32 gtst and r33 gtst. and just remember r32's still have all power options and are a comfortable ride etc
