So I sold my 34 Gt-t so i could buy property.

Had plans to convert the 2.7 911 project i have with my bro to a 3.2ltr engine.

After finding 4 different 3.2's which all failed to pass leakdown tests, we have decided to sell the 911.

Im going to need another car, I was thinking about a 33 GTR V-Spec, because that is in my price range.

Has anyone made the R34 to R33 transition?

Any thing else worth looking at?

Any thoughts would be appreciated because i cant make up my mind.

Hey Phil,

i did that transition just then. :(. power wise i have to say there is quite a bit of a difference. In terms of condition of the car, i was fine with the adjustment from the newer R34 to the older R33.

Interior wise u'll definitely see and feel the difference. It is slightly bigger in the R33 GTR.

In terms of driving, the Attesa in the GTR is REALLY REALLY REALLY different from the GTT. That is something you have to get used to and best thing to do is to go for an advance driver's course. Controlling the car is different.

when i was gtr shopping a few months ago i was told not to realy look for the vspecs, once the diff screws up or woteva you cant realy fix it ?? and aparantly most ppl cant tell the differance between the 2 on the 33's

Out of the 3 vspecs i saw though, 1 was real with the diff, the other 2 just had the vspec stickers.

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
