[Race_Bred]

dont know any performance figures for you, but the R33 has the bigger motor!

[lanky71]

Theres a R34 Non Turbo for sale on the forums now I think for $14,000... do a quick search.

But you should be able to pick up a R33 non-turbo easily for that money or if you are lucky a R34.

The last of the R32's came with the larger RB25DE engines. So R33 power in the lighter R32 body. That should leave plenty of spare $$$ to cover insurance, any repairs (hopefully none!), registration, plus any mods you want. That'd be my choice!

Why N/A ?

Why not a turbo?

[Big Rizza]

Specs for the R33 and R34. Interestingly, R33 and R34 make identical power, but R34 is 20kgs heavier. R32 and R33 weigh the same (suprisingly), but the R33 is 20hp more powerful. So that gives the R33 the best power to weight of the bunch. So you can scratch my eariler comment regarding the R32 GTS25 having "R33 power with R32 weight" since it's more like "R32 power with R33 weight" Oh, and R32 is the heaviest on fuel, with R34 being the lightest on fuel

Why N/A ?

Why not a turbo?

My guess is he's a P-plater and living in state with vehicle restrictions in place. Hence no turbo skyline on P-plates. Either that or he doesn't want the increased running costs and insurance hassels that turbo's give, but I'd guess it's the former rather than the latter.

[Savage Bliss]

Yeah dude, if you can get your hands on a later model 32 I'd say go for it, but if not, I can't believe I'm saying this, look for a nice example 33... just a little newer.
