Hey there guys, im new to the whole skyline thing and about to purchase one... problem is, what one?

Im either going to go a R32 Gtst or a R33 Series 2 Gtst

Would would people suggest?

I know i can buy a R32 cheaper and spend the money on it... or just buy a newer car with some mild mods

or pro's and cons of either one...

Any help would be most appreciated, Thanks guys

im sure this topic will be pretty biased.. but here goes:

i would choose the 33 s2 simply because its newer, more powerful, bigger turbo, may have less km's, mild mods will see it with some pretty good numbers...ect ect..

realistically, you need to choose what you like, some people absolutly hate the look of 33's, while others hate 32s. regardless of that, the way i look at it, the newer more modernised updated version is ussually the winner.

of course people will argue against it, so the best influence and decision is your own.

also list some specs about both cars. i.e what year, current mods, future mods, kms, ect.. that will then make better opinions than just whats better a 32 or 33.

good luck and welcome! :bunny:

i got a series 2 r33. IMO - it looks bloody nice (specially the back), more power, more space inside, nicer interior etc. And as mentioned - minor mods can make a huge power difference to the stock version. However, the car is big (compared to the r32) - both bulky and its as long as a family sedan.

R32, is old - so there might be more problems than the r33 - but this comes down to how the previous owner used it. If it straight from japan, you probably would never know how the previous owner used it (i.e if ur buying one off a SAU member, u will have an idea as to what the car has been through).

Both are great cars on the road and track....pretty much, either one u go for, u cant lose - unless u buy a lemon.

both are old, heck even R34's are getting long in the tooth,

Depends how the particular car you're looking at is kept

Personally I'd go the Series II R33, with the front lip they can look quite mean

Good luck with your purchase

Thanks for the advice guys, looks like the 33 S2 is the members choice, but still i guess it does come down to my own decision, i do love the style and look of a 32 but the 33 being newer and a better chance of having less problems is prolly going to be my choice.

All i have to do is find a decent one in brisbane that isnt over priced....

    • I think in the modern era we live in, if I were converting a hydro lifter head to solid, particularly when chasing revs, I'd be seeing what I could do to use shimless buckets. Those of us with Neos usually have this persistent niggling fear of a shim getting spat out and ruining everything. Shim-over is...yucky that way. At least the Tomei kit appears to be conventional, but it would still be nice if they'd decided to go shimless.
    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 馃檪 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.
