I'll be buying a car later this year and have started looking at R33's but lately I have been looking at R32's as well.

I think both look great, and as they both seem to be around the same price range I'm not sure of which to get.

I can't afford a GTR so they are out of the question but which version of the GTST should I go for?

Are their any obvious pros or cons which makes one better than the other?

Cheers.

I would go for the R33, better engine, brakes, it's newer, etc. Just go for the car that's in better condition if you're stuck in the middle in my opinion.

I have a feeling this gonna turn into a R32 vs. R33 thread.

I was in your footstep mid last year... looked around at R32s then thought they were too old... looked at getting an R33 but the ones in Aus already that was in my price range were the Series 1 R33 shape which I wasnt too fond of... looked back at getting an R32... almost decided to buy an R32... then I impulse paid an importer and ended up importing a late 1998 R33 Series II 40th Anniversary haha best thing I've ever done absolutely love this car :domokun:

This guy too. Excellent advice. Newer, less problems, more modern technology.

      Yeah one of the first things I out in when I started having catch can filling up issues. Still prefer to empty 1-2 times a track day rather than every session

      Compressor flow comparison table

      You'll find this link is probably more useful  Performance Turbochargers - Garrett - G GT GTX GTW Series Turbo TBG G35 1150 map may not even get added to my list depending on how it looks, the G35 1050 already is a mixed bag for making the numbers you would expect from the compressor map due to mismatch - I don't know how another 10lb/min of compressor flow is going to make that any better.   I've left out others for similar reasons as it's already getting quite big.   In terms of Precision, provide me with legit compressor maps for them and I'll do my thing   I'll add some more of the newer Xona Rotor options are they're pretty boss, I'd take a 68mm Xona over a G35 "1150" any day of the week - or Precision for that matter.

      Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf

      I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf
