O.k in a year or so i will be wanting to do one of a few things car wise before i save for my house

Options i am considering

1.Sell current gtst and but and slightly modify a R34

2.Sell current gtst and buy a stock 33gtr/lightly modded 32 gtr

3.work on my current gtst upgrade turbo ect

just wanting your guys opinion on what i should do as i havn't made up my own mind yet and its still far off

should have just above 20g's to spend (with car sold)

asking your opinions

Think carefully. Once you get that mortgage you have in effect shackled yourself in a huge chain never to have ready cash to spend on toys again. lol

If your 33 is good and you are happy, I'd keep it an mod it. 20k would have it singing. 'Better the devil you know' in some ways? Buy a new car and it could be a lemon.

Sell the gtst and buy a r32 GTR that is slightly upgraded that way you have a fun car that you won’t have to upgrade for a while and therefore you can focus more on saving for a house

I like the look of the 32 gtr's better than the 33's, just has a tougher stance when its dumped on 18's. however it is almost becoming a classic. I wouldnt want to have to fret about it (if things go wrong), with a house waiting to be paid off..

IMO dump the house and live in your car then you can make a 7 sec godzilla streeter.. whilst having insane banana dance raves.. :P;):banana:

tough decision man.

Don't sell my R33 so soon LOL

The R33 GTR's are pretty rare, as are the R32 GTR's. If it was me i'd go with the R33 GTR as i personally prefer them, but at the end of the day it's up to you :D

yeah im tossing up between a stock 33 gtr or a nice 32, how common are the 33's compared to the 32's (GTR's)

lots less 33 gtr produced than 32's

but the 33's are a hell of a lot fuglier imo

<3 my 32R. I was eyeying off a 33GTR for a while aswel. Thing that made me change my mind was the 33's are heavier (not by much, bout 50-100kg more, very negligible) was that you can't disable the AWD systems on em, same as the 34's. 32GTR's have for me always looked a lot better and have the true "cult" recognition aswel, coupled with the fact that they were the reason australian touring cars went to V8's and RWD only :(

My opinion would be, keep the R33 and drop money into it and get out of it what you want performance wise. Reason being, it's better to modify a car you already have and know where to put the $$ than to i nherit someone elses potential problem and then have to spend more money on it than you originally intended.

I agree with Joe.

With 20g, you will not find a 33gtr and not much change on a modded 32gtr + stamp duty. So if you need to do any maintenance....its extra $$ needed and you'll be digging into the house fund.

Having said that....i've never walked my talk and bought cars on impulse.

    • From memory and please correct me if I have this wrong, the nismo that come with half shafts are specific for that diff centre. You may be able to find Nissan ones that match up but you'd need to understand what nismo are doing.    Best option is get  a pair of 5x1 axles, they usually don't cost that much and direct swap over for the 3x2(6 bollt) 
    • AFAIK, the length of the shafts has NOTHING to do with the ratio of the diff.
    • It depends on what the guy who bought its Ratio is. Mine is a 4.36 Jus Jap told me anything above a 3:9 has equal length shafts which the Nismo center's shafts were not.
    • If those shafts in the last 2 photos are the ones that came with the diff, you have no hope of fitting the other ones because they are completely different 
    • I have recently fitted a Nismo GT Pro Center second Hand buy still in the box i got stubs with it but they are 5 bolt and I need 6 (3x2) I was told by Just Jap that for a 4:36 ratio the stub axles are equal length sku 38220-0V161. They didn't have any in stock but I picked up the ones pictured. The one with 5 bolt are the ones that came with the LSD. The right side went in no issues but the right....I have happened the fk out of it put it in a press and it still sticks out about 5mm too far. It was sticking out about 25mm but after bashing it like Chris Brown did to Rhianna I managed to get it a bit further in but seems stuck again now. Any ideas? Should I just leave it 5mm out and send it?
