what's an R33 GTR-S?

^^^^^^^+1

?????

SO you want a 32 or 33, some guy gets you a photo of a 32 then you say 32 is now rubbish. Then you say 33 gtr-s. Maybe you meant r33 gtr's like your gonna get two? maybe take your time, do more research then you have to date then, buy whatever you want and behave yourself.

Ova.

the 33 failed in design, hence the face lift on the series 2

Wtf? Where'd you get that info from? The R33 never failed...it's a very popular model and to many of us is awesome, bodykits make it even sweeter.

And WTF? Hence S2? They're practically identical, the bonnet and side ridges were sharpened, front bar tweaked, boot features coloured differently, and interior made worse with cheap upholstery. How is that more than minor tweaks, like on any other car?

R33 S1 (& S2) is more mature looking than R32. Look, even Domenico agrees:

i like the front and sides of the R33 better. Personally i think it's one of the greatest body shapes ever.

Hmmm, one of the greatest ever? :P

Yes, it's unique.

Buy the R33 gts and sell it once you have done some driver training in it. Don't mod it, as waste of money.

93kw in a RWD car is still going to be fun. I had fun driving my AE92 Corolla for fks sake! :D

Buying a car should be an act of passion, not just reasoning. Now go forth and test drive!

I dont understand the R34 looking cheap compared to an R33.. but then again interiors vary depending on the spec.

I know the GTTs definitely dont look cheap, but ive never been around a non turbo to compare:)

get the turbo 32 DO IT

Alot of people still perfer the R32 styling to the R33 personally if i was gonna get a R33 i would go for the R33 series 2. If you do decide to purchase a R32 get the later models 92-93 models as they have updated interior just feels and looks nice than your early 1990 R32s, hope this help you to make your decision.

Well....First of all let me say that personally I think your sig is a disgracefully cheap shot at an Australian Icon who has done nothing but cared for all.

2nd, get the lower power R33 you obviously don't have the maturity in my opinion to even handle a turbo.

2 cents worth, do what you want I don't care.

I did not say i didn't want the R32 because of the photo, and that was a SERIES 2 R32. I've stated many times that i prefer a newer vehicles, and that should be reason enough for turning away from the R32

Yeah... sure, and you don't have the maturity to handle a pokemon steve irwin gag. Your opinion is clearly worth no more than 2 cents anyway.

glad your back Dom, What is a gtr-s? The search feature on this site might be a bit difficult to use, however if you did become aquainted with it you will appreciate the knowledge of others from years gone by. If you have decided that you no longer like a 32 due to age, then you have answered your own question. thread closed.........please :D

    • As GTS mentioned, it takes a bit of faffing, some fiddling and a little modifying.  With the strainers, you can buy different styles. Some sit flat on the pump, some angle down.  Here are some photos of mine, ignore the ugly welds lol. 
    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 🥴
