32 Or 33

[Haysey]

the endless debate

R32 looks better, lighter, handles like a go kart, looks better kitted, not as many around, nicer interior IMO....

driven both and much prefer the R32,

take them for a drive and buy what you like the best, i did this when i was tossing up between 180vs r32

[mad082]

i went the r33 for a few reasons.

1. they are a quicker car. sure they weigh a bit more, but they have more power, and a better power/weight ratio. a r32 with 2 people in it weighs about the same as a r33 with 1 person.

2. nicer interior. the are a more modern looking interior with a nicer looking dash.

3. price. its easier to find a cheap clean 33 than it is 32. a clean 32 will often cost more than a clean 33.

4. did i mention that they are quicker?

i was tossing up between a 33 and a 180sx. i had quickly ruled out r32 (unless it had a rb25 in it). i couldn't see the point of the r32. they have about the same power (7kw more power, but less torque) than a sr20 powered silvia/180sx, but weigh about 100kg more so i ruled them out.

[ctjet]

I saw that on Acland street a while back

still dun like 32's... needs more wideness

[32line]

get a 32gtr then, hehe.....

but seriosuly....mado82 made a particular good point :

"3. price. its easier to find a cheap clean 33 than it is 32. a clean 32 will often cost more than a clean 33"

psersonally i think it comes down to visual prefrence...the 32 is still a quik car and can be made quiker very easily.

if u think the 33 is a great lookin car then why wouldnt u get a 33???

i got a 32 cause i think they have more presence and cause i love the history on the 32gtr...

33

- Newer

- Better gearbox

- Better motor

A set of coilovers & sway bar and it handles brilliantly

Exhaust, FMIC and a touch more boost and its an awesome daily driver that you can drive to and from the track with no probs at all

Then if u decide you want to go crazy, throw a rb26 in it hehe

R33 Series II.

R32 interior is dated & ugly.

[r32line]

Yeah the 33 seems the most versatile choice... It is one of very few vehicles that is amphibious - A boat and car all in one!!

You can’t beat that....

[mad082]

and the good thing about the r33, full boost by under 3000rpm. i was getting 13psi by 2700rpm on stock turbo.

Ahh, the shallow mind of a gtst owner

GTR32 > S2 GTST33 > shit on a stick > GTST32

[thorpe84]

r33 s2!

no comparison

[alexk]

light weight = most expensive mod

[SilverECR33]

people have been saying that the S2 interior is better than S1..

Funny thing is, Mine is a S1 Type M and the interior is much nicr than 2 of my mates S2's. Theres is Sort of like Canvas. and Mine is like Velvet furr. Could be a Type M thing not too sure on that.

Im thinking of buying a R32gtr with a R33 GTR engine with massive mods in it.

Would this be a good way to go? Should i get a mechanics report and a compression test?

Mods below: (sorry i wasnt sure how to link it to the mods and i apologise if it seems like i am stealing this thread. Just advice is needed.)

Dynoed at 20psi 360rwkw, 300rwkw at 1 bar tuned by JEM, these are safe tunes as its used as a daily driver.
