I went for the 33 because it's newer, more cubes (yes they do make a difference to everyday driving), and as much as you 32 guys bag it for it :rolleyes: the extra weight helps it to ride that little bit nicer on the highway - it is a road car after all. If I want to go hard, I'll take the bike - no point in turning the car into a pig to drive :D

RB25s aren't a weak motor - like any motor, including the RB20, if they're tuned badly they'll blow up. Remember 40RCD? That thing was internally standard except for forgies (yes it had some work done like balancing etc but it was all stock) and it absolutely flew. I remember sitting behind it when he was running the AJM 300ZX... a small puff of fuel smoke and then it disappeared at a rapid pace :)

I've never really understood the whole 33 vs 32 thing, they're both ^#%$in awesome cars, and I could name a whole list of both models (and others) I would own in an instant - Cam's 32t for example, Gary's old 33t or just about anything that's ever been parked in Steve's driveway :D

when I was in NZ sdu had a skyline drag. The most common being r32 against R33.

Both cars turned out to about the same down the quarter.

The R32 GTR was giving the R33 GTR a run for its money and it was winning as well 8 )

R32 would be a force to be reckoned with if it had the RB25DET in it

niz130, you should see an aussie R31 sit next to an R32 in a highway race. He pulled on me, but only when i changed gears (more revs = he kept foot down for longer)

i like the 32's for looks, weight and handling.

20k is way too much. 15k is ok.

It might not be the best car around but damn that thing has given us some laughs :D

How many other cars can you come into a corner marked at a recommended 70kmh at 50 and have a japanese exchange student and both front tyres screaming in protest? :) "No, no dorifto.. aaaaaaahh!!!" ... hehehe ah that was fun. Pity we didn't get to take her for a proper drive.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
