my opinion of the R32 is: R32 with RB25DET > *

you got the style, looks and power out of a small comfortable car.

even the RB20 with stock internals, decent turbo, cams, injectors and computer will set you up nicely.

on the other hand, my opinion of the R33:

that is all. ;)

that's the best looking boat i've ever seen...

I know that if I were to have a daily I would definately want something with a decent interior so I would recommend an R33, possibly the Series II because they look much nicer on the outside than a stock series I. Just had mine tuned and pulled 270hp with pfc some more boost and basic mods and she goes quite well. 450km+ to a tank.

On the other hand if its great distances that you are travelling then 32 because they deserve to be run into the ground like a beat up VL haha

faster in the water than r32's are on land

/stir

Hanging is too good for R33 owners....and so continues the downward trend of this thread ;)

But to the original poster, just shop around and look at both models. Sooner or later you will find an example that you tick most boxes and will like. It could be an R32, could be an R33. There is no point comparing stock ones as there are more modified ones out there then stock

exact same mods to a 32 and 33, and the 32 is slower? geee, reallly?????! derrr! dont hav to be a fregin scientist to firgure that one out.

evryone knows stock for stock the 33 is faster...and if u mod them in the same way ofcouse the 33 will be faster..

my 32gtst has only a few minor mods (exhaust,fmic,11psi,ecu remap) and it will get to 100 in mid 5's on crappy rear tyres...

so u may hav to mod the 32 a lil more...pfft, who cares, atleast ur in a car that looks better than the thousands of boat 33's drivin around...i see them every single day...ugly as hell itself.

they dont even get a second look, 33's just blend into the b/ground like commodores.

if u want sumthin special a nice clean 32 is the way ;)

Can't believe the amount of morons ARGUING about the look of the 2 models...particularly you 32line

When will you get it through your thick heads that aesthetics are 100% opinion based and should not factor into a debate like this as its up to each individual as to which they prefer...

You can say R33's are ugly until your blue in the face, but no amount of dribbling can make that an indisputable fact.

As for everyone mentioning the weight of the R33 and how its such a 'boat', its always humerous to note that they never seem to mention that an R34 is heavier still.

Improved suspension, safety etc will all add to the weight...so while yo drive around in your 'super lightweight race car' the rest of us will drive around in our superior boats.

that was well said.. although i do agree on the interior.. my interior eats ass even thou its a GTR...

R33 = much better inside :thumbsup:

and another point.. 32line.. u want a special r32?? stop makin it look like something it aint.. its not a GTR. lose the wing, lose the front bar and skirts

want it special?? get something no1 has.

There is a few r32's out there now going for some pretty cheap prices too. Well under the 10k mark, and that's for turbo manual models.

Have owned both, with my first skyline being a series 2, r33. absolutely fantastic to drive, and literally nothing ever went wrong with it in the 1.5 years i owned it.

bought a r32 after that, and the differences are pretty noticable. the rb20det is pointless. the only way i could get the car to do sub 14 quarter miles is if i threw it off a cliff. the interior is a lot less comfortable, and a lot more noisy.

at the same time, the car handles ten times better, and i don't feel like i am about to plow into the country side when i take a sharp turn.

so now have put a rb25det into it, which makes the car fantastic to drive. noticably quicker than the r33, with the same ammount of mods. now i just gotta get some bigger brakes for it, as the r32 ones aren't up to scratch.

as for the interior and noise, i just drive with the music a bit louder :thumbsup: and will hopefully get some recaros by the end of the month.

hahah, 32's look shit stock...33's look even worse. hence the gtr bits. btw...the skirts are the standard type M ones made for gtst :D

and dezz i am aware aesthetics are 100% opinion based, but i love to stir 33 owners in sh*t pointless threads like this one :D

32 FTW!

mwhahahahahahahahahaha!!!

I would compare RB25 to a similar capacity motor like RB26.

SR20, RB20 are more even, as they are in the same 2.0 litre class

and produce around the same peak hp (600-700hp) when modified.

Also look at what the RB20DET was competing against in the 80's

(Japan, Australia, UK).

That would be Honda Civic, Ford Cosworth, BMW M3, etc.

The gtr kit is the best looking and most functional kit you can get for the 32 gtst. Not everyone with a gtr kit wants a gtr, get over it

ps hows the blown motor going haha gtr's FTL

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
