I've owned a 33 gts-t and now a 32gtr, i've also driven the 32gts-t, GTR32 for the win if you can find a good one and within yer budget. Yes it has aged, but it's the legend. A GTR will always be a GTR. This is just my personal opinion, i liked my 33gts-t very much, but it was love at first sight with my gtr32.

Hmm mate. I guess its a matter of taste as everyone says.

After having owned a R32 and driving plenty of R33s I would suggest going for an R33 as they are newer and as such are a nicer car to drive on a day to day basis.

Still 32's are dirt cheap and so are parts.

This ended up owing me $10k and I painted it put a cooler on it coilovers wheels and a whole heap of other stuff.

Either way whatever you end up buying e-bay is your friend :)

Hey ghost

i have a 33.. however.. if your under 5'8 get a 32...

Get a clean one and dont mod the piss out of it..

Get decent tyres//suspension//struts & better brakes first.

This is no offence here.. but your better off with a car thats lighter, not as powerful with great aftermarket suspension and brakes so you can get use to it and dont write yourself off by doing stupid mods first.

However r32 parts are a little harder to get now.. so be aware of that.

this is only if

a) you dont have a license yet

b) this is your first turbo

if you dont have a license yet you aint going to be able to get a turbo anyhoo.. If so i suggest you get a rb25de

if not.. the r33's reaalllly have an appeal to me... and the extra .5 displacement helped me a little... yes it looks like a family car stock.. but meh.. im after a sleeper of a car anyway

Go the GTR if your in a 32, I think the 32 GTST's just look weird being so thin...

if your going GTST id say go 33, they go harder and are probobly more comfortable, but in stock form they look more of a family car and less of a preformance car, at least front on.

couldent put it beta... !!.. watch out buying a older car as parts will be very old, and most times you loose alot of kw from the fly to the wheels due to this.. eg: my r33 gtst, vs a done up 32gtr, looked perfect, but when it came down to it, he was loosing power due to being so old.. if you going for a older car, get it all checked... gtr, get a 32!!!, or get a r33gtst, not much point of having a 4wd on a daily driving car!.. my r33gtst is daily driver and a modded car, you will get alot beta kms per tank with a r33gtst, and they go very hard if you are willing to spend some cash on it... but, it really depends, some cars look good, some dont, you really need to put your flavor on the car if you get a stock... 32 are a bit harder to fit into and more of a race car, and 33 is more of a race/lesuire car :)

but,

people are going to defend what they have is the best, and probebly is due to them modding the car to the way that they want it, look around and when the car catches your eyes, get it!!.. and make sure that everything works, and hasent been to trashed with no service/or maintance.....

not to sure why people think r33 loox like a family car, well the 2 door does not look like that at all the 4 door, yeah.... not sure what people have been doing/leaving on there 2 door r33 to make it look like a family car ?..

It's your call, it's your money!

R32's are cheaper if your willing to work on it and learn from it.

R33's cost more and will still need to be worked on but maybe not as much.

How common is a R33 compared to a R32??

Do you want to be the same or a little different.?

They both go like the clappers and both love upgrades.

R33 has a better manual gearbox, (stronger)..

R32 rev's harder for longer...

My advise would be to look at every car you can and crawl under each one to see how many km's they have actually done. You will be able to tell a high km's car from low if you look long and hard enough.

Never beleive the what's on the clock.!!!! Some are genuine some are not....

Personally I love the R32...But that don't matter a pinch of sh_t.

My R32 sleeps very well, believe me..

Happy searching..

r32 seem to be stolen more in queesnland tho :)..

i dont think its the fact of: do you want to be differnt, because you can do what ever you want to a skyline, everything pritty much clips or pulls of to customize... and i think there are more r33 because they are newer, im sure back in the day there was more 32 then 33's.. and im sure in the future there will be more r34s and people will say, oh, a r34 is so common.. hehhehe.. times change, get what you think loox good in your eyes.. ps: 33 has more torque, and so on and so on :)

32 will use less fuel :mad:, but i like paying the extra money for the rb25det :yes:

obviously when you compare a r32 and r33 together, no doubt the r33 will be better. Although a car choice goes beyond what is stated on the spec sheet. It comes down to your preference of what you imagine your self driving.

Compare an old skyline to a brand new car for same cost. The specs may be in favour of the new car (depending on which specs you focus on age, petrol etc) Although you will still go for the skyline based on personal preference.

Same can be said for the r32/r33 decision. You dont buy a r32 thinking "what if i chose a r33" as it comes down to what you are most happy with. if you have a passion for the particular car, being an old classic car or r32 in this case, then the price of repairs+parts and the numbers on a piece of paper will not matter :P

I hope you make the right choice as they are both excellent cars each with their pro's and con's

Cheers
