Opinions R32 Gtr Or R33 Gtr

[Deziner]

Thanks guys,

Yeah, used the HD linkages.

I have to say after the suspension mods the Foz does not have the understeer anymore, it is very direct now. Feels like a completely different car from the stock version.

Thanks again for the input, at this stage I think I will hold off and go for the R34 GTR. No point settling, I would rather wait and get what I really want. Have been looking at some nice ones on Global Auto website!!

I think the R32 looks better than the R33 and because it's cheaper you can do it up nicer and add some better parts for reliability (not that the R32 has problems).

The R33 looks too tame to be a GTR, GTRs are meant to be masculine, mean and all business.

GTR s rock anyway but R33 (non godzilla) l.o.l , looks like an old heavy bus compared to the classic R32 godzilla. heres mine, sexy

R33's have a more rounded and are the larger in size car then the R32 and R34.

The R32 has Streamline styling and the R34 has Aggressive styling.

Yes the R33 looks tame but with a lowered car height, a decent stance and a good offset from the wheels, it looks tuff as.

I was looking a month or so back, and went with an R33 GTR. I love the look of all GTRs, but to me I wanted a later model, better interior and newer. I got a black 1997 R33 Series 3, with plenty of good mods, and lots of preventative maintenance work done, and in excellent condition all round for less than 30k. Probably comes down to your preference, I would love to have an R34 but my funds wouldn't allow for it.

I suggest what ever you do try and find the best one you can for your budget, there are a few nice R32s & R33s with most of the wear and tear components replaced and tasteful mods done. Just take your time and look around. I am from Melbourne but I bought one from Sydney cuz there was nothing in Vic that suited what I was after. In my case I'm really happy I did. However, if you can afford an R34, and thats what you really want then I say go for it. Nothing worse than getting a car (or anything for that matter) only to think after you bought it you should have gone the other way. I'm really glad I didn't settle for a GT-T or GTS-T cuz i'd always be wanting the mighty GTR.

As for R33s not looking tough, I also think that with a good set of rims 18"+ and good ride height + offset they can look the goods. See pics, (not mine, some lucky guy from UK, i think. I also have GTC rims, but mine is on stock suspension and looks way too high so i wont post that up!

I did see a really nice Gunmetal grey R32 GTR today with 19" deep dish rims and perfect offset, man it did look really good, but as i said I love all GTRs!

Anyway mate good luck with the search and which ever way you go make sure you post up your new ride!

Cheers.

I guess I dig the extravagant and sharp lines of the more aggressive designs than the streamline version. The bulging wheel arches is a big part of that which the R33 has less of. I do agree that bigger shoes and a lower stance helps deliver the GTR aura a bit more. Black seems to be its best colour.

The R33s are bargains now and obviously they are newer both inside and out. I would consider them if I really can't get an R34.

Yea. I for one like most people wasnt a big fan of the 33 initially but it grew in me after I got the N1. I too prefer the sleekness of the 32 (34 would be out of reach at the moment) but the aged interior turns me off (those knobs around the dash + the passenger side dash design) + higher risk of parts failing.

I'd say most people that get the 32 now generally loves every bit of it, if not, chances are they'll end up getting the 33 due to age (since they're very close in price).
