Get a 33 four door and flaunt it. Bit*hes love them. That's how I got my missus, then I bought another 33, 2 door though. The 33 as a first turbo car will not disappoint, it goes well and there is a lot of knowledge on them, also the aftermarket base is huge, the people who bag them are simply retarded, well to an extent, the 33 feels lighter to drive than the 32, but the 34 is still a great car, for what they go for on the market I'd probably buy one if I didn't love 33s so much.

But at the end of the day you might want to factor in rego etc for your final choice.

Hope you find the right one.

L O L Retarded?...says the kid saying buy a 4door bitches love them.... "thats how I got my missus" I wouldnt call dragging a girl into your 4door getting a missus...also a 33 feeling lighter then a 32 is like saying a a patrol is lighter then a micra. R33's are like a luxury sports car, 32's feel more like a go-cart.

Placebo effect...thats what that is...

A 33 will do everything a 32 will...

haha yep, sugar pills!

You take the R33 - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take R32 - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

^ i think thats why the r33 takes the cake.

i also look at my r33 gtst sometimes and think, crap thats an ugly whale shaped bastard. but then other times i look at it and i swear its like a hot girl undoing her bra, winking at me, with high heels and a tie on.

IMO i think the r33 has the best ass of the lot, the r32 has the best front, and the r34 has the best sides..

If ppl think you can beat r33 for money over performance your crazy under 5g these days if you look around spend Another 5 got a reliable weapon. How can people say 32 gtst nd r34 gtt look so much better then r33. The 32 gtst and 34 gtt look half done because there missing the wideness that the gtr have.

Now the gtr thats diff story 32 and 34 look better then 33 gtr but 32 gtst and 34 gtt look plain imo without wide body front and reAr whereas 33 gtst can get away with it abit more with good offset and low since its more curvier and wider.

Thats my 2cents anyway.

No one said there shit, there Engine and drivetrain is awesome, thats why its all in my 32 :wub:

Then you've pretty much lost your weight advantage anyway, so there's no point harping on about 32's being lighter. They will still be a bit lighter, but not anything that's going to win you any races.

I like 34's. That's why I have one. /thread.

To the op the answer is a simple yes. A 33 is a brilliant turbo car. Pound for pound I doubt you could match it.

The engine, drivetrain, suspension and brake combo was/is far superior to the 32 and the interior particlarly in the series 2 looks very modern compared to its predecessor.

body styling is subjective and very much to personal taste. I certainly wouldnt be influenced by comments from anybody (other than my wife) simply because I buy my cars for me.

There are still plenty of good examples of the 33 around if you're prepared to wait for the right one. Be prepared to pay that bit extra for a good one rather than a cheap rape victim and you wont regret it.

A few simple mods can enhance the driving experience to no end, A decent front mount and a boost upgrade Is all required to add a fair bit of spirit to the drive. Throw in a set of sway bars, lower it slightly , add a decent wheel/tyre combo and you have a well rounded very easy to live with package.

As for the 3 shapes in question I prefer the 33 over the 32 or 34 but that is as I said a personal thing. Any of the gtr's look great because of their phatness, Its the gtst/tt's that cause the most conjecture in the looks department.

Too many times I have looked in the rearview mirror thinking an early model ford laser was following me when it fact it was a 32. The 34 reminds me of a pencil, its just too narrow looking to my eye.

They are all skylines and all have their advantages but I prefer the 33. You like chocolate I like vanilla. Enjoy your icecream any flavour you like.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
