"the 33 is where its at... but the 32 is quicker."

I believe this statement to be a myth. Having watched a stock v-spec 32 vs a v-spec 33 - the 33 is the clear victor.

In terms of equipment - r33 is a clear winner

In terms of aesthetics - the r32 is considered by many, to be far superior.

Personally, I'd take the r34 over both of them - but who wouldn't?

hey mate.. i was going from Nissan's production times... the '32 was/is the quickest of all 3.

I've driven all 3 GTR's 32, 33 & 34. Though the 34 is my preference. I think, for the money, the 33 is the best value of them all.

If you've ever driven the porsche turbo's, the 32 would be the 993 Turbo, plain & basic, rough, tough, pyschotic little spoilet brat. The 33 is the "Manual not the tiptronic" 996 Turbo, a few luxuries, smooth criminal, big, has a presence with a mix of Bill Goldberg & Al Capone. The 34??? we'll talk about that later.

**Also - this thing about 32's being quicker, hmmm?? Realistically speaking...it's not like you'll notice the difference between them all.

32 for me. Whilst the 32 is slightly faster in a straight line there is a greater difference once the road gets twisty. The 32 due to being lightler and a shorter wheel base has superior cornering ability. It is far more race car like in it's feel. It is and feels and lot smaller.

I dunno...I used to like the R32 over the R33, but I'm not so sure now? The R32 does look tougher, but it's age is really catching up with it and it's not refined, looks out-dated but tough. The R33 is bulkier, smoother and more refined...but it's bulkiness can still look aggressive. I've never driven one, so I can't comment on their driveability...just from an aesthetic point of view.

I'm going to also go on the line and say that, stock v stock, the 33 will beat the 32 in a circuit race. Close but comfortably. The visual evidence I have seen backs that up (with different drivers, different course, result the same...)

The dynamics of the r32 may make it more of a 'pure' sports car (that's why they went back to some of the design elements with the 34 - wasn't a performance issue in any department). It is, from all reports, a more 'on the edge' car than the 33.

yea ive owned a r32  

i would take the r31 with the gtr engine anyday

because all gtr r gay (doesnt take any skill to drive em fast)

mind you a r32 with the fuse pulled is alot of fun i must say but still no r31

Like this beast I saw hooning along to wakefield the other weekend. ;)

Gets the *** sik award for 03.

Guys the 32 is still the king. Not because it is lighter or quicker, but because it is the origional. Its like a trilogy movie, the first is always the best.

Plus its looks are timeless. whereas the 33 looks clumsy. sort of like a patch up job ;)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
