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 ?

Apart from hairs in the region of my willy - Im not too sure about people who actually have hairs on their willy, they are usually found sitting around eating bananas - Ive got hair in places I never expected to, after a while it seems to sprout out all over the place (except on my willy thank god)

I must admit, every time I see an Escort Cosworth my head still turns. I don't mind admiting it, I love those cars, and ever since I was 18 I have wanted one, but the only thing I find funny is that now I am in a position to possibly buy one I don' t think I would go for it, hence the R32.

I think I will leave it sitting in my head as the things I dreamt of when I was younger, and now thats been replace by the R34 GTR :)

Its always nice to have asperations :)

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

RS500 chassis is very primitive in its design.. and it certainly showed against the R31 at doningon in 1988, with some 200+ bhp less than the RS500 of Andy Rouse man did it kick some ass!! I think it only lost due to a technical problem

R32 vs whatever!

It’s got to be the R32 all the way...

Owned a R33 [315Bhp GTS-25t] but the dynamic capabilities of the R32 far exceed it.

Also owned a 3 door whale tale Cosworth putting out 310Bhp which admittedly was slightly better on most B roads than the 32, but I put that down to the ridiculously unforgiving Ohlins suspension that’s currently fitted.

Its the way that the 32 GT-R puts down the power that really impresses, there's none of that traction control bullshit, and nor is there loads of unnecessary wheel spin, she just sits down on her arches and grips... and then the turbo’s really kick in and she grips some more… [weather permitting obviously]

I makes me laugh when I remember just how bad front wheel drive cars with reasonable amounts of power used to be; with the wheels jumping in the arches and the ridiculous amounts of torque steer!!


Oh and Neal - Welcome to the forum - Initial D is top!! :smokin:

I totally agree with you the sierra is very primative compaired to the R31/R32


Win Percy /Allan Grice when their R31 race car was @ Donnington back in 1988 racing against the cossies/bmw's still never finished the race because the main problem with the R31 was it used to kill the front brakes because of the front being too heavy

the main problem with the cossies ,they could only use a 9" wheel you wasn't allowed to modd the arches and when the Sierra was lauched it only
had 13" wheels and small arches back in 1982 it was never ever built to be a race car were the Skyline was

I love the Rs500 for the looks and it proved it's self time and time again they had a good run in touring car and no one can change history and it took avery good car to beat it which was the Skybird :D

I voted R33 for the following reasons:-
1) They are better looking and have more prescence on the road than both the R32 & R34
2) I own one! :)
3) It handles like a dream, contrary to what R32 owners think
4) It turns heads big time
5) R32 and R34 owners dont know what they're missing! :)
6) The smooth lines look a lot nicer than the boxey look of the R34.
7) The GF thinks my R33 is the best shape, so I aint gonna argue! :)
8) and all R32 & R34 owners are wrong!! :)

That'll do for now....(awaiting the storm of arguments against my points now :) )
