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!

if your going to buy a r32 like this and modify it well ur probably going to have to repair alot of things neway lol.

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.

    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
