R34 To R33 Transition

[PAV34]

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.

Do you regret it at all?

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.

[PAV34]
