[rice_me_up]

hmm. ive said this before but i dont know much in about the wonderful world of cars. but my research has shown me that r32's have less muscle, (but the gts-t r32's are legal for the victorian p plater)

thats all i know.

at least i tried

comes down to what you like at the end of the day. the 32's do NOTHING for me personally...so i got a 33, because i love the look of them.

^^Yep listen to this man

I just bought an R32 but only because I love the 32 shape, the 33 really does nothing for me unless its a GTR

But tbh if I had no preference I would probably buy a 33 because the prices of 32 and 33s are very similar these days and the RB25 would be better bang for your buck

Yeah I'd go with an R33, RB25 power. Nicer interior than the R32s.

Plus, I don't like the look of R32 GTSTs, but that's purely subjective.

R33 has better torque, feels quicker. The R32 felt like it handled better, but I think it only felt that way.

By the way, I've owned both cars so not really biased either.

R33 GTST.

If you're talking GTRs, then I'd go the R32, purely based on looks, bang for buck. But the R33 GTR is a more refined car in every aspect and look great, but only in purple.

I like the look of the R32, but I prefer the engine from an R33.

If I was to buy a 2WD Skyline (which is unlikely) I'd probably buy an R32 and put an RB25 in it.

totally agree...

I have always said R32 and that 33's are whales and so forth.

but with todays pricing, and REALLY comparing what each cars gives you (not including looks) the R33 wins hands down.

the only thing the R32 has over the R33 is the weight advantage (I think 70kg lighter) and looks which is subjective.

R33 has the better engine, better gearbox and I think slightly larger brake disks and calipers..

engine and gearbox alone is worth getting the R33 to the R32 for me.

and I guess that will mean I will be a whale owner in 2006.

if the R32 was so much cheaper that you could have an R33 engine and gearbox put in and drive away at a total cost (including car purchase) of $15K then I'd do that.

but the 89 gtst's are just crap.

and 93 gtst's are same price if not more than Series 1 R33's.

anyway, you really need to make the choice on which you like the look of better.

both are good cars.

[sewid]

If you are asking from a purely "better buy" perspective then a series 2 R33 is the better buy as the ass has fallen out of R33 prices and you get a newer car with fresher engine and a little better luxuries.

From a taste perspective then only you can decide which you like more.

take an r32 for a drive.. you can say what you like, but take an r33 for a drive, and then the r32, and the fun factor is so much higher in R32.. I love driving it all the time.

I'd never go back to an r33 after owning my 32.. 34 possibly but thats about it.

If you like a modern car, get an R33..

If you like to work on your own car, buy an R32... then you can work in an rb25,etc for pretty cheaply yourself.

[TTT]

My r32 with something like 155rwkw felts ok till I got in an RB25 powered car.

then mine just felt gutless.

no torque feels so crap.

but then again, some people like how the RB20 gets up and going on higher revs.

I'd rather torque and no high revs.

That's why it kills me to read all these people with 30dets already up and running.

[ORIGIN]

r32 all the way mate!! i love the look on them... and the RB20 goes hard and i reckon sounds heaps better than the RB25 especialy at high revs

[BL01]

Really depends on what you are looking for mate. 33s has a bigger interior, newer car overall. 32 has that original 'godzilla' look, sleeker.

[rukus]

32 man

get a cheap 32, chuck in an rb25det + gearbox + lsd and u're set ;3

better looking, lighter car with the best parts of r33 ;3

[MSPEC]

HAHA better looking, this thread could get out of control But then who cares!

[dezz]

i think he was just joking when he said the 32's look better.

lol
