Anyone made this jump? What was your opinion afterwards? Are they reliable as the sw20? I'm thinking about an r33 gtr

Is it a big step up in power?

a few years ago they'd dipped to 7-8k for something average that was already in the UK, I've seen some right howlers up for£10K+ recently, prices for good ones in japan have shot up, for sure.

It's the GTS-t that has benefited most from the hype, it wasn't too long ago that you pretty much couldn't give them away, now something with an mot and sills that didn't come out of a filler can is£6k+
personally I think a nice clean specII R33 GTS-t at around 6k is an absolute steal

Only had exhaust, filters and boost hike and it never let me down.Service items were not too bad for it.

As a GT car it was perfect, fast and effortless on the A and M roads but it was squeaky bum time on the more narrow B roads.Leaving it in carparks left a feeling of doom.

They are so easy to drive and cope with whatever you chuck at them.The stock setup is quite lazy revving but you don't need to spank it most of the time as it was very fast.

The worst part of the car for me was the 4wd system.most of the time the car is rwd
(mine had an LSD) and the fronts only kick in when needed.
in the R32 this kick-in always came half a second too late.
You learn to predict it and drive around that.

The R33 corrected this and was much better, never driven a 34.![]()
If you have always wanted one then you will love it, but it's a GT car not a little sports car like the MR2.Drove it all the way round europe in utter comfort and loved every second behind the wheel.
The MR2 is more of an everyday car but only really because of the size.
This would depend on how you use the car.

These days I'd rather have a 2, for the every day use advantages and the lack of worrying about where it's parked when not at home.

He went from an MR2 turbo to an R32 GTR and back to an MR2 turbo.
