Try to test drive both of them. Personally, I'm partial to the R32, because I happen to like its styling.

Also, think about things such as cost. If you bought an R32, you would have a little more money for modifications. Though R33's still go hard.

Common mate

Just drive them both, look at them both, pick your favorite simple

Its all personal taste really, they both are ****ing quick and look good in different ways!!

Personally i go r33 as its newer...thats the only reason i bought a 33, if a 32 came out in 95> models id take a 32 over a 33!

so r u 36? But ur getting ur p's

37 thousand for a first car is a decent figure, how u come up with that figure?

Im bout to get my fist car prob an r33 NA or 4door turbo, and its impossible to get insurance wen u say the word SKYLINE. Im pretty sure u wont b able to insure a gtr on ur p's (but im confused how old u r) but thats my opinion, just get the r33.

and please don't do the following: buy nice car, decide to look into insurance figures after purchase, decide you don't need insurance, write off the car.

That reminds me of a former forum member... umm does MINES_DATSUN ring any bells ? :(

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
