im looking at purchasing either an 95ish r33 gtr vspec or 93ish r32 gtr

cant really make up my mind

spending about the same on both 30k ish , slightly less for 32

seems to be the 33v offers better value for money at the moment but im thinking the 32 would offer better long term value cause of its "classic" status

your thoughs

if the 32gtr is around the same price as the 32, its not a stocker... sus it out, and see whats done to it...

the 33vspec will outlast the 32gtr, as long as they are stockers...

the 32gtr if stock, and has a few 100 thou on the clock, will be after a rebuild very soon, so at least 10g needed there....

i have a supplier who has a couple of very clean mostly stock 32 gtrs , both 93 both around 90-100km . both around 27-28k . which is a lot but their condition is great and its from a dealer so you pay more for the warranty

on the other hand a couple of r33 vspecs privately or import for about the same

the r33s all seem to have aroudn the 100km mark also so im not expecting a huge difference in useage and reliability from them

Have You checkt out R32 GTR V-Spec II's? can get them around 25k - 28k impotred done under 100 km! Out of the R33 V-Spec or R32 GTR go with the 33 32's are old people i know who own them have problems with them alot but like ezi09s said R32 GTR for 30k must of have some fare bit of work on it.

good luck with it update us on what you buy :(

the difference is a matter of taste.

33 slightly heavier (and marginally slower, but by fractions), better brakes (brembos - same as 32 vspec)

33 looks like a fat silvia. (personal opinion, but sticking to it)

32 may hold its value better - due to 'classic' status.

32 looks better (again, personal opinion, but sticking to it)

but - 32 gtr vspec in good nick - less than 100k - for $25k ?

production volumes from nissan

Total Production 43,934 1989 -1994

GT-R 40,390

Nismo 560

Vspec 1,453

Vspec II 1,303

N1 228

if i saw a good, straight low k vspec II for less than $25k, i'd buy it.

and worry why i got it so cheap.

i got a 93 R32 Vspec and its been a really great car. Bought it 4 months ago on 90,000KM and i've done the 100K service. Its completely stock and has never given me grief. Service it and it will last for ages. I get around 430 KM for 60ltrs of petrol as well so its not awful. I love it, its got the Brembos and also the faster altessa system like the 33. I think its just like a early model 33 but better looking. Oh and there were only 1453 made so it will hold value better than the 33.

the last "cheap" 32 vspec I saw was 29k estimate import price and had 150000km on it :D

i have seen some good ones but there like 33-36k

I got a nice very clean 93 32 gtr under 100000 km . just waiting on comp test and inspection

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
