Anything I should know about either model, what to stay away from?
I am in Canada so no worries about import laws there are hundreds here.
Any motors or years to avoid, chronic problems etc?

I'm a 300zx owner that I am building for large numbers, just looking for a daily driver this summer while I'm working away from home.

Found a couple for cheap, ie:
R32 gtr for 5k obo w/97km and upgraded turbo but mostly original.

R33 gt-t (?) for $5,500 obo

You know, I hate Canada. You guys can buy a GTR as a daily, no problem, for cheap...Us "free" people get ours taken away....

R32 GTR.

Check to see if you can get insurance first. I've heard through the grapevine that some Canadian owners are having insurance underwriting problems, mostly due to RHD.

I already have a rhd 300zx so I'm good

Early model R32 RB26's have the crank collar issue. I've heard that from 94 or 95 on, the issue was addressed from the factory.

If you're looking for a daily, I'd shy away from the GT-R just from a maintenance/upkeep standpoint. Parts in general are pretty expensive for the R. GTS25-t R33 would be good for a daily as there aren't a whole lot of electrical gadgets to go bad or crazy. Not a big fan of the non-GT-R 33's, though. A few minor cosmetic differences just make it look ugly to me.

GT-R you have the ATESSA ET-S computer, senors for the the ATESSA, HICAS, etc.
