hey there,

i was just wondering whats everyones opinion on these to cars, would you prefer a newer looking car but its a GTS or the older r32 but its a GTR

i guess there points are, the r32 is a GTR (cant go wrong) and the r33 is newer and better looking (by most general publics opinion, especial chicks)

remember its YOUR personal opinion, what you would do and not what someone else should do.

id get a 33 GTS-T ...

a) because i wouldnt want to own a GTR on my p's

B) because i dislike the look of 32's in general, and love the look of 33's in general

and c) "cant go wrong" with a 32 GTR? what is that statement based on :S, the 33 is newer, and should be more reliable in general

I like 32 gtrs, but as dezz said a gtr on my p's would be a pain in the ass. I can barely make the insurance payments on my 33 let alone for a gtr.

The 33 was a good substitute in the end. Good looks and reliable power. I don't care for people's comments on how they're too fat, bulgy looking etc. everyone's entitled to an opinion, and I think they're damn hot.

That said, get a '34 :lol:

I'd go the R32 GT-R

Don't mind the R33 GTS-t but even though its a newer car its still not a GT-R.

I've driven the R33 and it feels more weighty and less of a drivers car compared the R32's.

The dash and the seats look and feel pretty boring to me. I feel like i"m driving a camry. I think nissan went a bit conservative on the R33 series.

The GT-R even though she's older has a much more meaner prowess on the streets with its wider guards and sleeker stance. and given there are so many 33's out there, to me they just don't turn heads anymore.

but if you seriously want an R33, should spend a little extra and get the GT-R version of it.

agreed.

true the 33's dont turn heads as much these days due to there being a flood of them in the country, but if you like the car, you dont need it just to turn heads or impress anybody.

gt-r wise if i could ever afford it it'd be a 34, thats what you call a street prowler.

R32 GTR.

Not really a question.

Perhaps you should work out what is important to you, ie looks ,performance, insurance, reliabilityand maintainence, uniqueness, etc.

A GTR will cost more to maintain.

I would get an R32 GT-R... soley because I was one of those 16 year old who was scarred for life after seeing the Godzillas eat everything in the '91 - '92 Aussie Group A touring car seasons.

The R33's only look good (like *really* good) in GT-R form anyway. And you can't go past the RB26 can you?

I'd get the R33 GTST just based on the fact that I couldn't live with the attention and cost of having a R32 GTR as my daily driver. Performance wise there is no competition, GTR all the way. But I'd be too scared to park the GTR anywhere, and it would be more expensive to maintain than the GTST. I love the front and side profile of the R32's, but not the rear. The R33 series was responsible for my love of Skylines. I'd still rather have an R34 GTT though, but while I'm dreaming I'd like the R34 GTR more (hey if I could afford the R34 GTR, I could afford to have a second car for my daily driver!)

I'll go the R32 GTR road again.

I'm not interested in modding cars anymore. Have better things to do than worry about cops and defect stickers, headaches when modding's go wrong. So it has to be stock.

I drove a few people's 33's and they just didn't feel right... as in the steering was too light and brakes didn't give much feed back, suspension was soft. In other words the chassis is not as communicative as my old R32.

Dispite the 4wd and the fact the 32 GTR is the best of its class. I would go a 32 GTR anyday.

IMO The 33 is the model that doesn't quite fit the skyline picture.

The 32-34 you can see the relation in the aggresive look.

I do like the 33s but they are just not aggresive enough!

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
