hey SAUer's

Just thought id start a topic asking everyone which they believe is the better skyline.

I know overally the 34 is (newer, better parts etc) but as far the "oldies" go which is the better?

i was told (probably by a insecure source that the 32 is due to it being overall lighter, dispites

it's RB20 compared to the 33's RB25.

But the 33 was given more engine displacement due to more weight. so i ask the question,

Which overally (engine, maintenance, power and even fuel economy) is the best?

As in factory R32 vs factory R33.

Cheers

buckets out.

ok mate,

this has been covered a few times - so itd b worth doing a search to hunt down other threads to get more info etc,

buuut my 2cents,

i have an r32 gtst with an rb20engine and box and a rb25turbo - and she goes sweet, slides easy

but if i had more cash i'd probs want an rb25engine and box,

so the bang for buck choice is probs the r33,

with the r33 u get the bigger engine, stronger box, bigger brakes, an anchor :ninja: and a newer car

just depends what you are into buddy

32>33 imo :laugh:

:kiss:

edit: heres one of the threads i was talking about buddy, have a read

:) clicky

This thread makes baby jesus cry :thumbsup:

I cant believe im going to reply in this... (cough)

Honestly, stock for stock, R32 GTS-t vs R33 GTS-t

The R33 is faster, smoother, stronger, better value for money, younger & better brakes

The R32 is more rigid, lighter & has a classic cult following

What im saying is they both have a place in the world for different reasons. Not all later models are better, but with Skylines they met what the market wanted in 1989 with the R32, then they met the market again in 1993 with the R33, cars are an evolution of what the target market wants... As such they met the market in 2007 with the R35GTR... Its all relivent...

Your choice, but for me it always comes down to age... Both are more than 10 years old now, some R32's are infact 20 years old this year...

But on a budget, id go for the youngest R33 you can afford (ie. Series 2) so your on the right track...

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
