R32 Vs R33

Recommended Posts

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

or... save yourself the hassle of a nissan that always breaks and buy something like a supra?

This coming from someone who has a s13, r32 and has had a good friend who had a 33 that constantly broke. *shakes fist*

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...

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
