oh really people, shut the **** up about this. Its being covered 10000000000 Times, Just search it. The forum is getting crowded with useless threads about the same shit.

Dude that could have been said in a PM and ended it with something like...This has been covered too much or whatever, instead you have showed what a huge (ego) you have :D

*Just a thought buddy*

nuh, not really. Just really. This R32 vs R33 thing is a never ending thing. Search the forums and u will find sooo much. Its a conversation that will not have a conclusion. One likes r33, one like r32. Your not going to change anyones minds! So simply get over it :D

they've both got there good and bads at least there imports i say!! i dont like series 1 r33's but series 2's are kool but i love my 32 its awsome the look mean as with a gtr bonnet too. and dont get beat much by the 33's thou!

A bit off subject but I think that recently the r33 has largely been chosen over the r32 due to it being a relatively new car. But now that both are "old", the r33 wont have that "new" appeal advantage, and the r32 will be more appreciated. Not to mention the usual reasons - r33s are too FAT, and handle less well.

Its a matter of opinion. But the facts R33 is roomer and has a better more powerful engine, r33 is 100kgs heavier but still quicker in a straight line. Ive heard R32s handle better but im unsure on that one.

I prefer the looks of the R33, inside and out. R32's are starting to look a bit dated.

how are you "unsure on that one" ?

its 100kgs lighter and smaller all round and everyone says it (not always a good indicator ill admit) but it obviously has better handling

To the original thread starter, please stop being vague about what you want. State clearly ALL your requirements, eg:

your budget for the car you want to buy

your allowance per week that you can spend on the car (so people can tell you if you can afford an R32 GTR or an R33 GTSt, even though they will cost the same to buy)

your priority in the car you want, ie getting value for money or having creature comforts

performance is a very broad subject. Are you after a fast car, a car that handles well, one that has a responsive steering, one that is cheap to get good power out of etc. Please be more specific.

your use for the car, eg: build a show car, use it as a daily driver, not attract attention from police, experience driving a RWD etc.

This thread is now closed. If you wish to ask for help on what car is more suited to you, tell us more about yourself and what you want first. We have had many R32 vs R33 vs R34 vs krzysiu's mum threads before that really go nowhere if you want to read biased opinions that are of no use to you.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
