yeah but ferni for the difference of $25k for a decent 32 to $60k for a decent 34, is it worth it?

We are also talking value for money here, right? I wouldnt be able to justify spending 60k on a 34. Id rather buy a 32, then spend 10k on it if need be.

Neither me or anyone else here said anything about money or value :blink:

I'm just putting the facts out there about what is 'better'. And when you break it down, most of the time the newer is 'better'. Of course styling is personal preference - neither is 'better'.

I could go on. So All those who are claiming the 32 is the best, assuming you're not talking about styling here - because we don't buy GTR's for their styling, we buy them for their performance right? What exactly is it that makes 32's so much better than 33s? or 34s?

I said it above, i'll say it again, All 3 Models of GTR are great cars.

32 is THE raw GTR...

The 1 which started it all, the 1 which crushed everything in it's path...

It's the 1 that grabbed my attention, made me say wow and the 1 which i fell desperate for since a little kid... :domokun:

wow... strong usage of "1"s :D

But like said.. all of them are great...

R32 are my favourite, but when i was looking to get a GT-R i noticed that there were far more R33's in excellent condition than R32's - I'm sure part of that has to do with age. Add to that the improved brakes, ATESSA and overall design of the car and i thought i'd be better off getting an R33 until i could afford to own an R32 and any potential age-related maintenance that may have to be carried out.

That's a nice story but it doesn't have anything to do with which is 'better' :) Which is what this thread is about :(

But i agree with you "all of them are great".

what happened to the $20,000 budget?

If you've got any extra cash, send it my way please.

Don't forget to share and care dude :D

Anyway, it's personal preference.

R32 GTR - has always been the the original godzilla. Lightest of all GTRs. Minus point is that it's old.

R33 GTR - Unfortunately there have been too many GTSTs around wanting to be r33 GTSRs, sticking that badge behind. Which IMO made the R33 less unique. R33s are generally called the 'whale'. Plus point is that it has the more advance parts than the R32. :(

i hope i can be of some help here: 6 months back i had the money to choose from all three ... altho i love the 34 to bits and kms are much lower in general. i still settled for the 32 purely because of its size... i wanted something that looked nimble and low(32 is an inch lower than 33-34) styling of the 32 is on a need to know basis everything has a purpose and there isnt too much extra bling except the climate control.

main downside of owning the original gtr is maintenance... because of their age there are things that need replacing.... this can be an advantage because when u replace, u can up it a level and customise your car the way u want it!

good luck! but if u love hills go the 32

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
