R32, and even a GTR if you want to/can go that far ;)

Mate of mine has an s15 and it's really nice to drive. Still prefer an R32 though.

If I was in your situation and hadn't driven an s15 before i'd go take one for a test drive before making a decision.

R33. Sort of like what Nissan did when they ran out of ideas. The only thing they did right was put in the RB25, and they really should have put that in the R32 and gone a 3L in the R33. Ugly arse Magna front added to ugly arse Maxima rear end and the distance between the back edge of the doors and the front of the rear wheel arch is visually too long and makes the car look stupid from the side, and heavy. And the fact that it looks heavy just suits the fact that they are heavy.

The only other desirable parts of an R33 are the gearbox, brakes and front suspension's upper arms, and you can transplant 2 of those 3 into an R32 anyway.

R32 with the GTSt bonnet and grille look kinda weak, but the lower weight and increased chuckability make up for it a lot. Plenty out there with RB25 transplants for not much coin.

The R33 is an awesome base. Its cheap and fun to make into a really fast car.

Silvias are good fun also, and are cheap to make into a quick car, but once the major power bug bites you will be limited.

Go the R33 :) It wont let you down.

I loved my 33. I personally think aesthetically they are (or at least can be) very tough looking. I also found it a very fun car to drive, more fun that pretty much every car I've owned apart from one of my Datsun 1600s. Nothing will top that :)

My advice is go for it. R33s are fantastic cars.

heavy and common as!

Not sure I agree with you there. Common, well, I wouldn't call a car you might see once a day on average common, but I suppose they are more common than other such cars. not sure that's necessarily a bad thing.

As for heavy? I wouldn't call 1400kgs for a 6 cylinder turbo coupe with all the fruit (strong box, good brakes and so on) heavy. Have you ever driven a 33 in anger? They are very nimble and well behaved.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
