I am in the same situation as you and am tossing up what to go for as i have previosly owned a 95 GTS-t and went to a WRX and have to get back into a Nissan.

They feel a lot better to me and sound so damn good!

They only problem is that all the cars i am interested in are in Sydney or Melbourne. Oh well.

If i was to get a R33 it would have to be a series 2 and in immaculate condition.

Any way have fun

for 32K i can help you to get an R33 GTR and also insurance for s15 and R33GTR does not make much different, i think the max of difference is 1K but the again is all up to you. but if you are getting R33 GTS i would you better get the S15,,, much better and faster also handle better too.

I can't believe you guys I had to check the top of the page because I thought I have accidently clicked on a S15 site.

I can tell you now that for that price range you could get an mint condition S2 R33 and none of you can convince me that a car like that has less road presence than a S15.

Whether you like it or not the Skyline has become the cult car of this generation.

I just got back from a holiday in Lorne and even little kids knew what car I was driving.

I cant imagine them saying "look mummy, there is an S15 200sx/Silvia)

Shame on all of you that suggested an S15

I'm with quickr33melb, nothing wrong with an S15, but a Skyline has a bigger presence. Dunno what's going on about "33's are common". I can count the number of times I've seen a skyline on my fingers (no I ain't a mutant with 50 fingers! :wassup:)

I dunno, maybe it's coz I'm out in the sticks and hardly see one around, I'm gonna have fun cruising up here amongst the holdens and fords :P

30k you'd certainly be in R34 territory. Go a 34, they look heaps better than the S15.

I'm with Villainous_J on the R33 common issue. I see an aveage of 2 per day and suddenly they're common? Less common than anything Ford, Holden, Subaru, BMW, Merc, Porsche, etc build (under $150,000 anyway).

A 32k, 33 gtr would be a lemon... i know two importers and they are honest when they tell me you cant get a decent 33 gtr for under 40k at the moment...

Dude, different states have different prices, here in Vic, there are a few 33 GTRs goin for about the mid 30s and all have been very sweet!

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
