R33 Gtr Reviews

[nomnomv8]

My advice would also be to be a slightly modified example. Standard GTR's power wise are very boring

[Count Grantleyish]

Nah, don't buy a R33, get a R32 or a R34.

Wrong, R33 is the best bang for bucks out of all GTR's at the moment, you'd be stupid to pass up a car with brembo brakes, better chassis, better motor from factory, roomier interior, comfortable seats and much newer. 32r and 33r are similarly priced at the moment, hence my saying you'd be stupid to pass it up.

except 33 handles better than 32

This, I can confirm, especially in rain. Even though you don't drive hard, you'll notice the difference like I did.

33GTR. DO IT

Yehh i wanted a modified version some where around the 300kw mark and will also save me money not needing to buy the bolt ons.

[OVA 300]

My 33 was only slightly modded. 330 hp at all 4 wheels, running Tein coilovers, twin plate clutch, apexi fc, air filters, decent exhaust, better fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. Braided brake lines and Endless pads. Gave me 5 years of completely trouble free fun. Decent fuel usage unless you were at 8500rpm. It did everything comfortably and looked fat. It was good for a flat 12 over the quarter, which was fast enough for me without ever having to worry about blowing anything up. Beautiful car in every way. Take the time to get a good one. Not easy considering their age.

An interesting article by Chris Harris that I hadn't come across before: http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=52&i=25390

[Hadouken]

That is a interesting take from that guy.

Obviously Im inclined to say. I LOVE IT!

How long is a piece of string?

Of equal length from the middle good sir

[R31Nismoid]

End of the day the R33 you'll buy won't be the same as reviewed.

150k kms on it, worn bushes/mounts all over the car, diffs, suspension, brakes, tyre advancements

And thats just to name a few things, there would be a long list if you thought about it so whatever you read is going to be pointless.

Go find one, test drive it.

So why did you sell yours?

[Count Grantleyish]

So why did you sell yours?

Hoped to live in UK and travel in Europe but it didn't work out.

I'm back and possibly buying another one unless I like something else.

[Count Grantleyish]

BTW Jamie, have you actually drive 33 GTR?

Sure have, from mild tune to heavily tuned.

On what basis that R33 isn't that good, comparing to say R32/34 as mentioned in your earlier post as I'm quite interested in your answer.

I dare you give us your insight without mentioning looks, history, and weight (which is stuff all really).

[sydking]

Looks- Always personal preferance, Eg i cant stand the look of the 34, History, we all recpet the original godzilla ( dosent mean we all want one), And weight. As you said, Who cares unless your a dedicated track driver really?

Never said the R33 GTR wasn't good.

I prefer the R32 GTR for it's nimbleness and the R34's and the slight further developments.

[Hadouken]

33 is more nimble than 34, theory is biased

[TM7GTR]

god damn this thread is still going?
