I would go the wrx myself.

Attracts less attention and goes harder around corners.

Not to mention the re-sale is fairly good.

And being a local car your insurance company will love you.

Thats only me, i will also mention im seriously looking into a my99/00 wrx myself at the moment too.

I should have also added, a late model gtr is out of your price range obviouslly and i see an early model as going to be fairly high in cost maintenance wise, and i see an R33 GTST as just more of the same compared to what you currently have.

You obviouslly want a change or else you wouldnt be asking.

Atleast give the wrx a looking into.

My 2c is over now, this second post was just the gst content :P

cant say i rate the rex....a mate just bought one, stock except for springs and shocks and swaybars. goes hard until about 5000rpm, goes unreal through corners....but that soon gets boring...and when the tyres start to really get hot and sweaty they under steer like a pig. really boring car to drive after about 5 min.

33s are alot different to the 32s....the interior is nicer, the entire car is nicer...might not look as sporty, but overall a much nicer, user friendly car....RB25 is alot better than the RB20...good spread of torque, makes cruising nice.

R32 GTR is a different kettle of fish altogether...if you can get a clean, fairly stockish one, you shouldnt have any more problems then you will with any other car. only problem is when something does break...it will cost 3 times more than the RB20.

but then again, if you put some dished rims and a phat bodykit on the 32, put an RB25 in it, some coilovers, and some nice seats and guages. you'd feel like it was a completly different car altogether and it would be awesome too.

cheers

yeah rex's have a very low top speed coz of the stock boxer engine

R32 GTR over a rex anyday :bananaman

but if you wanna keep your 32 gts-t rather than get a 32 GTR, an engine conversion to RB30 with a few extra tricks would be awesome. You could even get an RB26 head and rocker cover setup on top of the RB30 :P, I've seen it done

-GTS-T

-RB30

-HKS GT or Garrett T04 turbo

-Power FC

-FMIC

-Boost Controller

-GTR front bonnet and grille

why goto all the effort to change all that crap to gain only 500cc ?

change the bottom end to a 3 litre, keep the same loom and sensors

prolly cost just the same, if not cheaper and its now a 3 litre instead of 2.5

Personal choice. I would want more than $10,000 set aside for an RB30DET conversion just to be safe. There's a lot of machining and custom stuff to get the RB30 right, whereas you can almost literally "drop" the RB25DET in.

got an insurance quote on your average locally delivered WRX lately? Its not that pretty..

you'd be stupid to go the r33, when you can do an engine swap and put out more power, in a better designed chasis for going fast.

R34 could be possilbe at mid-20's and feel a fair bit newer.

Anyhow, I get sick of these constant "should I??" on here.. if you don't know what you want to do yourself, why is asking anybody else going to help?

Simple solution, stop opening the threads when it starts with should I? or vs? etc. Everyone is on here for information among other reasons, while such things might seem trivial to you, someone might not be aware of all the possibilities etc. If they don't know what they want because they don't know what they could have, what other way are they going to find out what they could have, if they don't ask someone? This information changes from month to month, you have to keep asking because old threads are meaningless (yeah get a 240z, they are great new cars with some cutting edge technology.. :)).

Depends what you want the car for?

A lot of ppl know i love the R32 GTST, and with 10K depending what is done to your car at the moment, you can have a GTST that will do low 12s on the qtr mile, lap circuits as quick as mildly modded GTRs, get +430kms per tank and be a perfectly mannered car for day to day driving.

It wont have any street cred and is a 12 year old car. The fact that you are considering spending 10K on mods suggests you are after performance, and with 10k spent in the right places there wont be many WRX in your price range that will keep up with it

Other then that i would consider keep the 10k in the bank and plod a long if your happy with the R32. There is always an awesome buy just around the corner, be it a WRX or another Skyline...just be patient and if your looking you will soon fall in love with something you come accross

r33 + mods

or r32 with rb30det

fair amount of differences tho between 93 r32 and 96 r33

:werd:

And I remember when you first got your 32 gruntn... you were heaps happy with it.. but now I guess you are bored? so its time to catch that little modding bug and mod away

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
