Hey guys, I no there have probably been heaps of threads like this one before but i'm new to the skyline scene and just wanted a bit of advice. I'm going to be purchasing either an R32 GTS-T or an R33 GTS-T within a couple weeks for no more than 10k. I'm just wondering (if you have owned or drivin both the r32 and r33) what are some of the advantages and dissadvantages of each. and what are your personal opinions on each (try not to be biast ) I have checked out carsales.com.au/carpoint.com.au etc and it seems that the r33 gtst's are nearly the same price as the r32 gtst's. I love the look of the 32 but then again the r33 has the 2.5 ltr compared to the 2.0 ltr. Any feedback is much appreciated.

cheers dude, funnily enough, i have been thinking that exact same thing (putting the rb25) in the r32..i think that is what im going to do..have been discussing with mates over here (Auckland) and got alot of good advice from them as everyones import crazy here as cars are "cheap as chups" lol was thinkin maybe even rb26 down the track too...either way theres just something about the r32 that i cant say no to

yeah i have noticed that! i think i am in luck as i live in a nice suburb in sydneys eastern suburbs so im sure that will be to my advantage from the companies point of view.

Cheers for the reply, Yeah iv'e held my licence for 5 yrs (am from NZ) and never had a speeding ticket or a crash etc, a shitload of parking tickets though lol damn councils..i was thinking 3rd party with fire and theft..you obviously had/have full comprehensive? cheers,

thanks for you reply, yeah i have been checking a few r33's out that have caught my eye and my head says to get the 33 (less k's, bigger engine, more performance, newer car etc) so i think i will get the 33:) cheers mate

Hi all, I am going to be purchasing either an r32 or r33 gtst in a few weeks and i am 19 turning 20 in a month..just wondering what are some good/cheap insurance companies in regards to insurance for a modified skyline. Any suggestions would be greatley appreciated

Yeah i think thats the best thing to do (test drive both) so i no which one i like for sure as opposed to choosing just for looks... cheers for your reply

Thanks for your replies! Well I want it to be a daily but i also wouldn't mind gettin into the drift scene with it and then eventually if it got to the point where it was a hassle as a daily then id consider turning into a track car but thats further down the track..yeah im aware it would be more than 10k but thats my limit for the purchase of the car..more than happy to throw dollars into it after that thanks, Sam

Hi all, I am going to be purchasing a Skyline within a couple of weeks and i don't want to spend more than 10k. I had my sights on the R32 Gtst (Rb20det) as its the lighter option (compared to the R33) but then iv'e been seeing a few R33 gtst's (Rb25det) for around the same price. I wasn't a huge fan of the r33 purely for the look as i love the look of the r32. However my head is telling me to get the 33 as its got more power for pretty much the same price. This will be used as a daily driver and will be modified as I want to enter the drift seen (legally). I was wondering what your thoughts are and what some good options are etc. As i said my limit is around 10k. Any genuine suggestions are greatley appreciated as i'm new to this site Cheers, Sam
