well this has been covered a lot, and a search can help you with many OPINIONS, but its all up to YOU

comparing stock cars...

difference between R32 gtst and R33 gtst:

R32 is 2.0L turbo, lighter

R33 is 2.5L turbo, heavier

--> as a result, the R33 is slightly faster, but the R32 handles slightly better

then it comes down to looks...

which one do you like better?

I personally think the R33 looks fat and rounded, while the R32 is sleek and more sporty. Others disagree and love the R33 and hate the R32

then it comes to modifications...

do you plan to do any?

From what has been posted on these forums it seems R33's make power a bit easier than the R32's for the same money.

Now, for the insurance...

insurance will be HIGH for both cars. if you are in melb forget the R33 as its illegal to drive on your P's, and any insurance will be voided if you are at fault in an illegal car...

Full comp might be $3k at a guess

3rd party about $700ish at a guess

under parents name? no idea. not good for your rating though as you don't build one when under parents name (i think)

and finally... you are 17 so please be careful on the road with whatever car you decide to purchace.

So if you have listened to the above, then listen to this:

DON'T DRIFT.... pelase! you won't afford the tyres, replacement engine and body parts, and you will damage either yourself or others whilst trying on the street. when you are older and have experience on the road then other manouvers mgiht come into play then.

schumacker didn't drive a ferrari at the age of 17 did he? he learnet first - he crashed, broke bones, learned from his mistakes. then when he was older he ruled the world!

have fun,

Warren.

ok well firstly, lookin at your age, and you are still young, and im guessin you are limited in money. so i would suggest a r32, only cause its cheaper.. It all depends on your budget, so let us know how much you wanna spend.. also what are you intentions in owning a skyline, like you want it only for drags, driftin, crusin etc etc??? U said you wanna know which drifts better.. I assume, stock vs stock, a r32..

If you wanna the difference between a r32 and r33, its been covered a billion times, so i suggest you search..

It all comes down to personal taste in the end and your budget..

hmm about insurance, best is to ask the companies.. would be same if u have a r32 or r33.. well also the fact if its a turbo or non-turbo..

hope that helps a little..

    • Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest. 
    • My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.
    • Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...
    • If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.
    • If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
