really worth it?


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

Im looking for a new car within the next 6 -12 months. ive had afew choices and the r33 and r34 look like a good choice because there a newer car with lots of potential. i belive the r34 GT-t would of course be a much better option but is it worth being in the extra debt for the car. or would the r33 be a good choice because cost less and alot of mods out there?

also does the r33 feel like a smooth ride or age has kicked in and things are wearing out on them?

thanks all.

series 2 r33 and you should have some change for a few good mods as well. have seen a few series 2 go for just under 20k recently. the series 2 (mines a 1997 model) still feel great and handle awesome ever after 120,000 on the clock

if you want value-for-money, the R32 is definately worth it, i think more-so than the R33 (but everyone's opinions differ obviously)

i think having a debt for a car is stupid - especially if you don't have to

my advice:

take what money you have and buy the cheapest model skyline that you can afford without a loan (or with a small loan from a non-bank (eg parents))

My parents would never ever condone or endorse the purchase of a Skyline... the only reason I have one now is because it's been a long hard period of time since I've come out of school!!!

Depends what you are looking for in a car. Whether you want brute power and killing looks from a cheapish car, where you can spend the extra money turning into a real tough car go for the R32 GTS-T. Or go one step further and get the R32 GTR for a real race bred car. Series 1 R33's are probably a thing to stay away from. Go for a R33 S2 if you want a tidy car with a nice interior or go one step further if you want R34 which I believe beats the R33 in all aspects. Thats just my opinon.

R32 GTS-T would be my thing to go for, however I'm exceptionally biased in my opinon. However you would be happy with one. If you were looking in the area of an R34 definately consider the GTR.

yeah i do want power and killer looks but i also want a smooth ride, wouldnt the r32 be abit old and rattley? at the moment im drivin 92 model nxr and it has some wear and tear and rattle here and there. that i dont want next car! r34 was considered because its new but r33 is cheaper and r32 even more so. but yea.. wouldnt the r32 be abit old now?

oh yeah, whats the differnece between the series? or is that the type M?

    • Hi guys. Title … Bought new genuine hazard switch and new genuine flasher relay, indicators now work but hazards still not working. Hazard fuse all good tested with a multimeter.  Tested hazard wiring, I’m a div forgot to test with button actually pressed in, nevertheless, here’s what I measured with hazard button disengaged… 1st wire - red - 0v 2nd wire - green/red -12v 3rd wire - white/green - 12v 4th wire - blue/red - 0v 5th wire - black - 0v 6th wire - white - 0v 7th wire -  green/black - 0v 8th wire - blue/white 5.95v Does this look okay? - can anyone confirm if the hazard has its own relay , separate from the indicator relay ? Apparently r33 has two relays ?   Racking my brain trying to figure it out 😭    
    • New alignment and matching tires is great and f*ck me are the German roads fast. Took another trip to the Nurburgring yesterday with my buddy and the car feels great in the dry - a lot of mechanical grip. In corners at 140-160kph I felt like I could keep going.
    • Has anyone else been swarmed by morons with cell phones taking pictures of their car? A few of you may know, I recently moved from Japan to Europe and brought my R34 with me. Since arriving I've driven the car a handful of times and without fail have had people filming/taking photos of me with the car to a point where it's becoming annoying and a bit hazardous. Yesterday, whilst driving with my buddy (R32 GTR) on the highway, I spotted three cars pulling alongside with some twat hanging out the window recording with his phone. This one VW Golf came alongside in the passing lane and held position preventing me from being able to pull out and pass slower traffic in my lane so I gestured to him to F*ck off.  It seems when people have approached me, in the car park, at work (drove there once - mistake), gas station etc. they ask the same questions: "why doesn't it have a wing?" and "how much power does it have?"; the latter has been met with pure disappointment when I told the kid it's stock. Of course, Japan was a totally different story, the people are a lot more subtle and have never bothered me about my car or have been polite in doing so. Has it always been like this in Western countries, and what are your experiences? I just don't recall this ever, or maybe I didn't have a nice enough car back when I was growing up in the UK. I've taken the R34 out a total of six times since it landed and besides going to the Nurburgring area it's becoming more of a pain than anything.   
    • I had a similar situation with my R32 GTS4. I replaced that solenoid, but it hasn't solved the problem. So its possible the pump is failing. It seems you need to drop the diff in order to do anything that might fix this. So its important to know exactly what the problem is. Or just replace / repair everything while the diff is out.
    • Yep, I was supprised. Its all about flow rather then housing size.  Doing G35-900 Vs ATR45SS-1 Next. 62mm V 61mm.
