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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
