Nah, don't buy a R33, get a R32 or a R34.

Wrong, R33 is the best bang for bucks out of all GTR's at the moment, you'd be stupid to pass up a car with brembo brakes, better chassis, better motor from factory, roomier interior, comfortable seats and much newer. 32r and 33r are similarly priced at the moment, hence my saying you'd be stupid to pass it up.

except 33 handles better than 32

This, I can confirm, especially in rain. Even though you don't drive hard, you'll notice the difference like I did.

33GTR. DO IT :)

My 33 was only slightly modded. 330 hp at all 4 wheels, running Tein coilovers, twin plate clutch, apexi fc, air filters, decent exhaust, better fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. Braided brake lines and Endless pads. Gave me 5 years of completely trouble free fun. Decent fuel usage unless you were at 8500rpm. It did everything comfortably and looked fat. It was good for a flat 12 over the quarter, which was fast enough for me without ever having to worry about blowing anything up. Beautiful car in every way. Take the time to get a good one. Not easy considering their age.

End of the day the R33 you'll buy won't be the same as reviewed.

150k kms on it, worn bushes/mounts all over the car, diffs, suspension, brakes, tyre advancements

And thats just to name a few things, there would be a long list if you thought about it so whatever you read is going to be pointless.

Go find one, test drive it.

Here are some interesting opinions on the R33 for your information.

The article by the respected Chris Harris is as above, but nonetheless, some good reader feedback.

So why did you sell yours?

Hoped to live in UK and travel in Europe but it didn't work out.

I'm back and possibly buying another one unless I like something else.

BTW Jamie, have you actually drive 33 GTR?

Sure have, from mild tune to heavily tuned.

On what basis that R33 isn't that good, comparing to say R32/34 as mentioned in your earlier post as I'm quite interested in your answer.

I dare you give us your insight without mentioning looks, history, and weight (which is stuff all really).

Looks- Always personal preferance, Eg i cant stand the look of the 34, History, we all recpet the original godzilla ( dosent mean we all want one), And weight. As you said, Who cares unless your a dedicated track driver really?

Never said the R33 GTR wasn't good.

I prefer the R32 GTR for it's nimbleness and the R34's and the slight further developments.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
