Well most people who have R33s would say get an R33 and most with R32s would say get an R32. It really comes down to personal preferance. I would say get an R33 (not just because I own a R33), this is because they have more room then the R32s and also they a are newer vehicle with a larger motor.

At the end of the day it is your decision and you should shop around and make sure you buy what you want.

I've got a 34 so I won't be biased here. If your budget only allows for a 32 or 33 I would go for a 33. 32s are getting on with age and its harder to find a good example. Reliability is more my concern and hence the newer option. Tht doesn't mean the 33s won't give you any problems as well. Choose carefully and get it well inspected b4 u commit.

i would say r32.. they are smaller but that just means that they are lighter.. i also think that they look batter and meaner.. but really its up to u and what you like..

id definitely go with R32, but i am biased :ninja:

i just find they are lighter, and easier to work with.

Depends what you want to do with it also... whether it be for motor sport, cruising, or just daily fun...

definitely a personal preference, but the 32's (imo) just look a lot cleaner and tidier and they have a such a sexy bum lol (but id definitely agree with the R33 engine part :laugh: )

ive owned 2 33's one of them being a gtr.. however if i had a low budget id buy a clean 32 if you can find one.. if spending aroudn 17-22 id invest it for a 33 which you can buy decently now days .. only reason i sold the 33 was being old 97 model as opposed to the 34.. plus the looks personally 32's look tougher .. 33's are bigger and more floater ... 34s are much of a combination of both .. go 33 if u want room .. 32 if u want a car that you wont keep for long.. if i where in your shoes.. id buy a mid prices 32 .. simple mods and keep it for a few yrs.. only coz i havent owned a 32 .. (32 GTR's are nearly same price as some late S2 97+ model 33's) so thats another thing to consider.

Whichever you buy get it for your own reasons.. importantly take your time !..

33 for me. I looked around a bit and for me the 33 did it. there are some shit hot examples of 32s getting around but by and large i found too much of the boy racer deal attatched to them.

The 33 has a tad more conservative appearance but can be modded to freakin hawt if you want.

At the end of the day its your call. They are all good cars if you take care of them.

both GTST models look crappy.. sorry guys but skinny guards do do it to ya. the GTR versions are better. and the BNR32 is the best..

the R34 GTT is quite nice even though its not fat.. we own both so im very biased..

buy my GTR and offer more than wat lee is offering.. :(

ahaha jokes :rofl:

    • Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.
    • don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.  
    • I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.
    • Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.
    • yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
