Get the one in your budget thats in the best condition and been looking after. I'd prefer a spotless R32 GTR to a rough R33 GTR.. fixing them is expensive.

[frankxinyu]

yeah, it really depends on what your budget is. they are different in terms of their handling and everything. so it really depends. i like the R33 better but i have to say they are not as tough as R32s.

Buy something thats had as much replaced as possible

Essentially pick which model you would prefer than buy the best condition example you can afford, personlly I prefer the shape of the 32 over the 33 and with the current costs they are more bang for buck. They do not have any inherent weaknesses, things such as gear boxs are strong, but GTR's are extremely expensive to fix hence why I said buy the best condition one you can afford.

32, better looking, and arguably better performance opportunity due to light weight and yeh, plus its just wayy nicer and cheaper too !

i thought all the GTR's weighed the same.... or was the r32 1.4 tonne and r33 1.6

[ferni]

32's are lighter but thier chasis was also not as stiff as the 33, plus the extra years would of made it softer again. I'd go for the newest GTR you can afford (year wise) 98 R33's are around 40-45k.. 95 ones around 35k.. then R32's start around 30k, down to the old 89 models you can pick up for 20k.

My vote is for an R33 GTR. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't love to have an R32 GTR but they are getting a little old and maintenance and repairs cannot be done at VL commodore prices. The R33 is a newer, better engineered car plus they are sexy as hell.

To me the R32 GTR was always the one to have.....to my eye's R33's look like camry's (R33 guys please note I said 'to MY eyes' before you get upset ). It's the same as the 240Z vs 260Z argument.....R32 was the 'first' and a bit special for that reason, but R33 is probably more refined.

As to the cost of parts, etc for R32, for the most part it's no different to r33 with the exception of stuff unique to R32 (trim, etc), but mechanicaly they are very similar. That said, given what I've seen some of you guys pay for work on your cars, well......I'm in the wrong business.....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

my only problem in 2 years is that 1 of the coil packs has gone on me.

But remember, you get what you paid for... i paid top dollar when i got my car and got a prime example but i know people who bought cheaper examples and had to replace engines, turbos, paint, rust etc etc.

Don't think you can skimp on the buy... it'll bite you in the arse. Even spend a little extra on inspections before you buy so you know exactly what you're in for.

go with a late (94?) 32GTR.

I love my 32

(even if it has been broken for the last 9 months)

[IOWNU]

It all depends on your budget/preference.

If you get an R32, like everyone has said, get one in good condition overall, my guess would say around the 25k mark for no dramas.

That said you can get cheap ones for 20k, but it'll hurt when it needs a full rebuild etc.

R33 GTR.......you'd have to spend at least 35k for a decent once.

So it comes down to budget and preference. IMO it's not worth spending another 10k for what is essentially the same car, if you can find an R32 in very good condition.

Personally, I don't like the R33 shape, so I went for the 32.

Although the 33s have much nice interiors and will have less wear and tear.

R33 vs R32 debate is all opinion based. Buy which one you like more! There is no wrong decision here!

R33's ATTESSA system seems to feed more power to the front wheels than the R32's, giving it less oversteer and potentially faster out of the corners. The more rear-wheel-drive-like handling and less weight makes the R32 feel more chuckable than the R33. The R32 would be likely quicker (just) in a straight line due to less weight for the same power. R33 would be more comfortable and more refined due to the larger size and modern erganomics. R32 arguably looks tougher than the R33. R33 would probably be slightly better for back seat passengers. R32 is much cheaper. R33 is much newer (and therefore potentially cheaper to run due to less things breaking from old age). R33 would be safer in a crash due to stiffer chassis and airbags.

Either car would make any performance enthusiast very happy!
