To buy R33 GTSt or 89 GTR?

Virgin poster...beware

have decided early next year im going to step out of my EL Ford Fairmont (was going to turbocharge it) and buy something Japanese. Im basically dead set on either a R33 GTSt or R32 GTR (under 15 year rule, would probably try find a GTSt locally)

What is the best way to go about this? I would be after the one that's the most fun, easiest to work on, easiest to get running a low 13/high 12 quarter reliably, and the one thats easiest to toodle around town in. And the one that easiest on fuel.

Cheers.

both probably the same on fuel depending on how you drive.

I bought a r33 but am regretting it a bit as they are a bit big in comparison to the 32 (to drive that is) and if you get a gtr you can get a lot more grunt for your money.

Some blokes on this forum are getting 260rwkw at the wheels with stock turbos - you wouldn't get that in a fit with a r33 gtst.

I had a lot of trouble looking for a mint 32 though so went the 33.

Patience is the key!

not too worried about size, am used to driving big cars

Friend of mine had a R32 gtst and i wasnt impressed with the RB20 at all (it was stock though)

Mate, my personal opinion is if you want a performance car the 32GTR is the pick over the 33GTST. But if you are more interested in cruising around etc, and HAVE to drive the car every single day you may prefer the 33 as they are a much newer, more refined car. 32GTR's are the sh1t though, I love 'em

remember if you dont have much money to spend on maintenance dont get the gtr, gtst's are very cheap to fix in comparison and a lot less to go wrong.

in my position, i would get a 33gtst series 2..

even if i had lots of $$ for maintenance i probably wouldnt get a 32gtr, id save up or watever and buy a 33gtr.

gtst and gtr will both drink lots of petrol depending on your driving
