Hey Everyone,

As you can tell by the title of the thread I'm new to the world of imported motor sport and more importantly skylines. I am currently own an Si Honda prelude and am looking to upgrade. So I am looking for an R32 two door for around 10k to be bought at the end of the year.

I would love whatever advice or tips you could give me as I search for my new car :wub:

Cheers,

OB

you may get a 32 gtr for 10k but i wouldnt expect it to be in very good condition. but you never know what will pop up.

interior is a lot newer looking in the 33, engine is easier to get power out of, gearbox is stronger, some people dont like the styling.

just go look through the for sale section, see what you can find.

i wouldn't buy any GTR for 10K! most likely it'll leave you disappointed as you'll probably need to sink big dollars into it just to get it going properly! most guys i know who own R32's eventually put the R33 motor and gearbox into them anyway! if it was me, i'd go the R33, but i am biased. however you cant ignore the fact of the much better, stronger and more reliable motor and gearbox the R33 has compared to the R32. the R33 also has bigger brakes (same as R32 GTR) which also makes a big difference.

just do some research, take your time and figure out which one you'd prefer. plus, my R33 will be for sale towards the end of the year :thumbsup:

R32 gtst type m has R32 gtr brake calipers on them, just not the front rotors. also to R32 wheel base is about 100mm shorter (overall the R32 gtst is a smaller car)

Haha, I'll keep my eyes open for it then :D

Cheers for all of the info and advice. I'll do my research and see what is around when I'm all good to buy.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
