Hi all.... newbie as you probably guessed from the title :rolleyes:

This topic has probably been done soooo many times but i couldn't find anything when searching, soz.

I'm gonna be looking at getting a skyline in the new year but don't know yet how much i got to spend ;)

So what are the differences and what are the pro's and con's between the R32 GTR and R33 GTR ? Worth getting the V-spec R33 ?

Is there a buying guide anywhere ?

Best way to buy one... i.e. Trade, Private, Import etc etc Can anyone recommend any dealers ?

Oh c'mon Giles you’re obviously not a purveyor of smooth and sexy lines the R33 is an all round better looking car. FACT !! The others (excluding the R35) are box like!!

Anyway, I gotta keep the R33 “end up”

I really dislike R33's. Especially the GTS and GTS-T, I can forgive the GT-R, but it's still ugly in my opinion.

I like the looks of the R32 much more, it just looks tougher, meaner, and more aggressive. The R33 just looks so "pedestrian" and so normal, it doesn't stand out from your average sedan.

Oops, didn't realize this was 6 months old (why was it at the top of the "New Posts" list?) strange.

I drive a BNR32, I love the BNR34 but I am not a big fan of the BCNR33.

I think some of them with the right wheels /colour/stance are very nice.

I saw some nice red R33 GT-R on the forum lately.

There is something about nice BBS LM on a R33 GT-R with no stupid body kit.
They can look tough, fast and sexy.
The rest of the time, R33 do not excite me that much.

But to be honest, the dash/interior is not nice BUT it is quite big/convinient inside.

I find R33 GT-R easier to drive than the R32 GT-R but they are a bit generous.

Not the sexiest car to start with but with the right mods are great cars.
Many R32 GT-R are in terrible condition, lets be honest, so many R32 were manufactured and quality of the material/components was not the highest.

32 are robust cars but I can not blame someone who wants a fresher base like a R33.

I love the R33, but then I drive one, I agree with Kaeru though, without a body kit they do look quite plain, where as the R32 and R34 do look more aggressive.

Mine has the 400R bodykit and LMGT1 alloys and I wouldn't change it for the world!! :D

Eva seen a "plain ol 32" ugly as sh*t and I have stated the bit about the R34 even uglier with it's pretentious flared arches etc

Ya kno the R33 (&R35) are the only with any style.

Sorry, snowy but this thread was going limp!!

Yes CC is Castle Combe, if ya did track day instead of squirting along in a “straight” line for 10 sec’s you would know LOL

There that should give some ammo for those who want to use it

Well as we live in a democratic society (well I thought we did till I just went to fill up 2 GTR's with fuel, now feels like a Capitalist state)) everybody is entitled to their HUMBLE opinion, just remember something an old boss of mine once said

"I will listen to everything you say, but my decision is final" MY decision is that the R33 GTR (not the others) is the best looking Skyline !! FACT (lol)

LOL, I think we've now moved to a different planet (a bit like owning a GTR ! )

Giles you just know you are sooooooooo wrong about this and a lot of other stuff LOL

I've had 2 Skylines so far, my first was an R34 GTt and now its the R33 Gtr, and the 33 is way better, it feels nicer to drive and lighter even though it's actually heavier. I don't personally like the angular styling of the 32, the 34 looks more like the 32 whould have, more muscular and agressive its wierd how they look very similar and the 33 in the middle is totally different in styling.

r32r32r32r32r32r32r32r32r32r32r32.

guess what.
has to be an r32 gtr for me. not cos i have one. i just love the look and the way they are.
in my eyes they are very much old school cool like the mk2 and 1 escorts.
its like saying which is better the mk2 and 1 shape escort or the 3 and up.(come on , we all started with escorts. i hope :nervous:)
i love all the gtrs but the 33 looked too big and clumbsy(sorry folks).

You are more than welcome to YOUR opinions, but keep em to yourself as you are completely and utterly WRONG !!! LOL

The R32 was the proto type for the next PERFECT Model the R33, The R34 went berserk and made it into a kids Play station and the R35 is just a work of art for the price!!
