R32...so much lighter... better for what u lookng for.. plus will have change for mods etc

[martydaman]

id say a R32 with a new engine or at least a reconditioned one... that way you'll have a lot more money for mods... the R32 is a faster car compared to the R33

straight or around corners?

[lwells]

straight or around corners?

Probably both if you have a finite budget, using the left over on mods.

LW.

Hmmm.. if it's a budget issue, then the 32 wins hands down. I personally think the 32 looks the toughest of them all, and we were looking at buying buying one, but they're starting to get alittle old, and you don't get the luxuries of air bags, brembos brakes (some 32's came with them) and a newer car as you do with the 33... amongst other things.

Plus they have a slower ATTESSA system than 33's, and tend to handle with a slower & more rear end bias...

Either way, both are awesome Value for Money, but with your budget I don't see a problem with find a 33.

R32, because i want to get one

Actually BOTH models are getting long in the tooth now (unless you pick up a Series 3 R33).

Given that both models have been driven fairly hard (why else would you buy an R?), I would assume that unless the previous owner has spent the time and money, you will be up for some major maintenance expenses sooner or later (take note on how many RBs are being rebuilt around the country atm - including mine!).

If you like the R32, I would pick one with a straight body and spend the saved money on a motor rebuild and suspension upgrade including replacement of all bushes.

If you go the R33, chose carefully and don't blow all your dosh, as there will very likely be some hidden expenses down the track.

In conclusion, don't be put off if this is your dream - they are great cars!

[Maxx]

with yr budget go for R33 for sure!

have a look at meshmesh's car

[OKBANANA]

In my opinion i rekon you should go for the R32 so you'll have much more money to spend on modifications. Are you planning to import one?

[ManiPuLatoR]

What meshmesh said was perfect, but the R32 is becoming old. Personally i would go for the R33.

r32 mate proven race car.r33 is more of a tourer.

I have a 33 V-spec, but if you want to get serious with money and mods go a 32, 89 model with mods, I personally know a few people who are going that route and it's worth it. They have picked them up with different turbines and accessories, the lot for just over $20K. That's what my GF is going to do now, selling the 180 this weekend and getting a 32 GTR.

Don't worry about anyone telling you they are too old and worn out being an 89' they are motor wise generally still mickey mouse and the money you save is worth it.

r32 v-spec uses same brakes, turbos and attessa system as r33

But obviously in a far lighter and more enjoyable package.

32

FAR lighter???? The difference is 50kg? 3% of the total car weight?!?!?!?!

I am sure there is 50kg difference between some of the posters in this thread!

It is the difference between a full and empty tank of fuel...

"Geee, my car sure is craptacular after I fill it up! But when the empty light comes on it is just soooooo much better" :bs!:
