"The R-33 is widely regarded as the most practical GT-R for use as a daily driver, but it lacks the excitement of the R32 or R34" <_<

This was the quote from the "Feral Hun" review the other day.

As I am looking for a 'daily driver' but would prefer an R32 for styling reasons I am looking for any comments by protagonists on either side of the argument.

In other words - anyone out there using an R32 as a daily driver ?? Or should I spend an extra $10 grand and go for an R33??

[ABuSD]

Wouldnt u buy the car according to your own preferances/tastes?

If having an R33 is more practical for you then it would be better, but i cant see how much more an R33 would be practical to a 32......10k worth???

If u prefer the 32 go with it and save urself 10k!!!

Think what u could do to the 32 with that 10k

All the best!

[ferni]

yeah agree with abusd... Can't see any real practical differences between the 3 models. Get what you want. Don't let some reporter tell you what to buy.

[ABuSD]

Yeah and make sure u know what u want when looking or youll end up like me and go back to buy a car to find out its been sold to ferni!!!

BTW What was with a 13/20 rating in that article !!!!

[inark]

go the 32 and spend the 10k on rebuilding the engine and some goodies.

[Snowman]

Just quickly - don't expect that you'll be "saving" $10K when you buy an R32 GT-R. 99% of them going around it seems needs an immediate $10K spent on them to get the engine running soundly again.

But as far as practicality goes I can't see any difference. I think they are all non-practical for a daily driver! lol

Did they forget that the 33 broke that Nurginburd ring ( <--spelling ) record back in 1995 i think!

All gtrs are nice, easy daily driving well unless you're planing to run 400kw@allfour otherwise its all good.

Especially with bucket seats, oh such a bitch to get in and out of!

[R31Nismoid]

get a 33, as snow said.

most 32's the motors are tired.

33/96 model or there abouts should still be fine for a good 4-5 years if treated nicely before replacement bits start to be needed.

most 32's are just flogged. The updated 33 is better for many reasons.

[divi]

if u by r32 gtr don't by 89 unless it has a full rebuild becuase about 6k+ for rebuild

[West]

Buy a 94 like mine or buy an 89 and take it to Racepace .

[KamikazeR33]

the 33 is a bit more spacious if that helps

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That might help with the 'missus'

Although I have a sneaking suspicion that she'll end up driving it more then me

Think what u could do to the 32 with that 10k

- yeah.. fix it so that it's running like it should!!.. .. just stirring..

Personally - drive each - work out what you want.. most R33's will not need many repairs.. meanwhile you could end up with a R32 that's in need of some engine fixes..

cost will probably end up being closer - don't forget a 33 will be almost 7 years newer than an R32.. that's quite a bit of time and possibly lot less km's..

[nuR.spec]

32 looks much tougher than the 33..id go for the 32

[Josh]

go the 32 and spend the 10k on rebuilding the engine and some goodies.

Was just gunna say that dude.. hahah

R33 GTR

Newer, Fresher, more advanced, more developed, angrier looking, nicer interior.

I LOVE 32 GTRs, but If I were choosing between the two, itd be a 32 by My heart, and a 33 by my Mind.
