Ive decided thats its time I start getting serious about purchasing my long desired GTR, ive had all kinds of cars in my time except a GTR. Looking at whats for sale right now there is a range of 32 and 33 GTR's for sale all around the same price as eachother depending on how clean and unmolested they are.

My dilema:

BNR32 is a legend and an icon but dated

BNCR33 is the sucessor to the 32 - newer, lower k's, alot nicer as a car being more modern and comfortable (aircon etc) and i would assume improved.

Curious to know what everyone thinks about this...similar price 32 or 33 GTR and why? Opinions and technical reasons..

Cheers,

Ray

I went through the same thing a year or so ago.

I ended up getting a BNR32 due to racing heritage in Aus. and I actually prefer the look of the R32 over the R33. I believe the R33 has superior rear leg room, but the R32 has sufficient rear leg room for my kids.

both the BNR32 and BCNR33 have air con!!

R32 all the way!

1: racing heritage.

2: nimble and stylish.

R33.

1: more leg room.

2: require a yacht club membership and boat license.

IMO.

Lol. I always have problems turning to port for some reason.

Personal preferance dude. If it were a dedicated track car then you woukd have a problem choosing. Seeing as its not. You can just go look at them all and drive them all. Gotta catch em all?

I drove a '32 GTR on the road.

And a '33 GTR on the road.

As a road car - I like the '32 more.

As a track car - I have no clue how a '33 handles at speed.

And I own a 32 GTS-T, and have driven several '33 GTS-T's.

And the '32 looks sexier.

lol

I'd get the GTR with the best brakes, the best Attessa, the lowest Kms, the most complete history, the highest quality mods and given the most care.

The outcome hopefully might be a series 2 R33 GTR V-Spec or an ADM R32 GTR - now the latter one is a real dream & budget destroyer isn't it?

if your going to listen to anyone with a bit of common sense then listen to Terry

What he has said above is spot on.

Its not about the most mods but the quality and how well its looked after

Ive got an r33 gtr and i love it, yeh everyone carries on about how big they are but have you ever looked at one compared to an r35?

They realy are not that big of a car at all

    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
    • Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
    • Good news mate, plenty of spares available 5:40
