Hi all,

Im Looking at purchasing a R32 or R33 gts-t. Ive previously own a 33 and had no problems, was a great car - regret selling it.

Im now back on the market for a skyline.

What one should i go for? id prefer either one, can anyone give me a bit of insight of some pros and cons over the two? if it helps pls vote then give a reason :)

Thanks

How much u looking at spending man, R32 gtr isnt exactly Super expensive nemore. Just gotta look in the right areas and a hardout check over the car.

considering u sound like u wna give a R32 a crack this time i thought id chuck it in ay.

32 gtst are getting really hard to find a nice example. gettin REAL old now. r32 is my fav shape by far, but when its a 20 year old sports car, your really have to think twice about actually purchasing one now days.

i'd go a 33. there are so many to choose from its almost ridiculous. and prices have dropped big time

I agree mate. I love the shape only thing is there really old now so thats why i was thinking kind of more towards a R33

and?

well if a 20 yr old car is the reason why u shud buy a 33 instead of a 32 is cause of age then maybe u gotta consider what ud change even if u had bought a 32 and think about whats worth it.

probably end up changing radiator/plugs/coils/hoses/belts/turbos so by the time u knock all the stuff i didnt mention over... your basically left with as long as the car hasnt got rust and your showing a healthy compression test on the engine then why not buy a 32 if thats what uve truely had your heart set on.

This is the EXACT reason why NOT to buy the older car ya muppet!

corrected for accuracy / speech .

I of all people know this quite well with my 32. (and it is a modified resto..)

finding one that has not been side swiped, chassis rails crushed, rusted wheel arches, butchered physically and electrically is nigh on impossible UNLESS you want to import one from japan and even then you are still relying on pot luck.

go with you own gut on this. personally I like the 32 but I am also one to buy a car with the intent of rebuilding it from scratch as well.

haha relax yourself man,

If u got what i was trying to say its basically things that alot of people would change neway within a year / few years of owning a car so if its gna be changed all is left to be worried about is rust haha.

yeah i know what your saying mate. and its true. BUT if you could get around having to pay to replace/repair things that were worn due to age etc, then why wouldn't you? why not buy the newer model, and save on the maintenance if you can???

If you like 32 and can afford a good 33 then save up that tiny bit of extras Gs and buy a 34.

I helped a mate get a black Manual gt-t with 3 grand worth of leather interior made to look like 350z interior,straight body,mint paint,usual engine mods and religions servicing for 12k.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
