only looks drag style because people turn them into it...they are cheap and light and people decide to use this model to form the base for their funny car/ snow plough looking R32 skyline
i have just made this decision,
The r32 won because i like the agressive looks and the more noticable wider arches, i think the r33 is more of a girls skyline with it's smooth round shape,
It's not some of your lads fault you like the 33 more it is just your feminine (sp) side showing through.LOL
R32/34= a mans car
R33= one to keep the missus happy but you got a skyline anyway
Pmsl
Then you went and f***ed it all up by having one in Bayside Blue... :chairshot
A clean R32 in grey or white in mint condition is a fine machine to behold. Indeed, I think that the few pure R32 GT-R's will retain their value way better than any R33 except the 400R (ooo, there's a surprise).
But for me, the R33 GT-R is the only one. Even if I had the money for an R34, I'd just carry on modding my R33.
BUT. The R33 GT-R as stock is a lardy beast. If you do go for an R33, get one with at least 400bhp at the fly with a full maintenance history and oil changes every 3000 miles.
I must admit, i do prefer the look of the R33, as people have said, the R32 looks dated now. I'm not worried about tracking dragging it. I want a fast, quick, powerful car i can use when ever i like. I think i will be choosing the R33 GTR... Sorry R32 peeps
Can't help feeling you're missing the point. Any GTR in good condition is a superb car. You'll never get an unbiased answer regrding looks or performance without giving a much more defined set of buying criteria first.
Just for your information. I can't justify spending the money on an R34, have had an R33 GTs-T and now own an R32 GTR. Loved them both in very different ways.
I dont think i would be able to chose out the two. my first skyline was a 1996 gtst. if it was for me i wouldnt have bought it, but instead i would have bought a R32 GTR. But saying that im glad i had the experince of owning it and gave me a insight into skyline ownership.
I wasnt a big fan of the R32 untill i drove one and i must say i was very impressed on how it drove! since then the R32 its grown on me and i would most definatley consider it. Also i found with the interior compared to other cars of similar age, still doesnt look to bad.
If i had the money, i would buy all three!! but that isnt going to happen so the plan is to buy all three one at a time, problem is i dont know what to get next a R32 or R33!!(lol)
LOL ..........i remember the R31 shoe box tryed to take it's crown and failed miserably it lasted 1/2 season so then Nismo pulled out and it was back to the drawing board .....lol...
it then took them 2.5 yrs to bring the R32 to take it's crown which it did but the Rs500 had won everything by then and was getting very boaring
and the reason why the R32 did it was because it had 4wd/4wd steer 2.6 turbo engine and Ford Rs500 was still on 9" wheels , but when Ford was allowed to extend the front and rear arches to (thunder -saolon wide bodyed) it was more of a match for godzuki
If Rs500 are shite what i can't understand is why are they still fetching 15k+ for an old E-reg 87 car
how much is a rd going R31 worth e/f reg ??
I heard rurmour that nissan when bust because of R32 skyline the amount of money they invested in the car and couldn't make profit i don't know how true it is but i would love to know why they went bust
I do think they are good cars tho and belive it or not a have driven R33 and i have driven Cams red R34 tunned by Rod Bell and i couldn't belive how good they drive even modded my cossie is a tractor compaired to that car
They are fantastic so refined it's unbeliveable if money was no object i would have a R34 sitting on my drive tomorrow
anyway come on ive got my sword ready for you lot .....psml

Hi Marco
A fairer comparison would be between an RS500 and an R32GTR VSpec II tbh.
I'll have a bob down to see you soon as when you drove mine it was running way less than a bar of boost but now its got some proper boost its made a bit [lol] of a difference.:smokin:
Your 3dr [Blue Thunder] is one of my personal favourite Cosworths as its been well developed and gets to earn its corn on road and track.
I wouldn't have another 4x4 Cosworth but I am still fond of 3drs and RS500s in particular. A clean unmolested RS500 will be worth a fortune in 20yrs time but so will the limited edition GTRs the factory produced.
I think nearly all the posts are personal preference, the three cars all look so different for a start its hard not to fall back on that, personally Id have a nice clean 32VII for an investment and because they look nice, are light and so on, a 33 so I can fit my family in the back and get it up to around 550ish for fun and a 34 because I like the look of them the most, so I cant really choose between them - fact is I cant afford to have any of them right now. Just so that I am qualified to have an opinion I am not a schoolboy and I have owned two 33's (one 400bhp and one around 600bhp)
You should,nt be allowed to post on here ...until you have Hairs round your willy
1990
Nissan R32 won every race
1991
Nissain R32 won every race
1992
Nissan R32 won every race
godzilla is unstopable ..lol..
So...with nowhere to go racing-wise , they kept the badge and the kudos and built the r33 ! with a bigger boot
Dont have it in my heart to tell you which big nissan floor pan they chose !
But it was not designed to do what the 32 chassis did , they had achieved that at great expense , to the company also.
33 was designed to take the marque to the shopping malls.
If it was not for DaveW and his skills to prove me wrong
I'd be quite happy with my head in the r32 sand-bucket
They are what they are ... those with them - enjoy !!
Those without... Shut the fu*k up !
thats my tenners worth :smokin:
Morning !!!
Cokey
