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!

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
