I'm a purist, so R32 for me.

$235,200. That’s how much a 1995 R33 Nissan GT-R just fetched RM Sotheby’s Monterey Auction. To put that into perspective, that’s more than $120,000 north of Hagerty’s top value for one.
That selling price was likely influenced by its rare shade of Midnight Purple, low 46,100 kilometers (about 28,645 miles), and unmodified condition, although this sale shows that buyers are willing to pay above market value for the aptly named "Godzilla."
Considering that prices are on the rise, which generation ‘90s GT-R is your favorite? R32, R33 or R34?
I'm a purist, so R32 for me.
I'd have to go with the R32 as well, though I'm partial to the Skyline GTS sedans because I just like the way they look (and I like to be able to actually use my backseat):
R34 Stagea for me please... And surprisingly values aren't crazy like the rest of them. There is much want.
R34. A lot of people who have driven all three suggest that the R32 had awful handling, understeer or oversteer and no carving, the R33 was a boulevard cruiser, and the R34 was what the R32 could've been.
Just a fanboy, never going to actually own one. Or drive one, probably.

The backseat in the coupe is surprisingly usable (I owned a GTS-4 in the UK about 15 years ago). I wouldn't mind another R32 (GT-R), but they - like later 911 turbos - only seem to come alive when driving in a manner that gives the judge a choice between "throw away the key" and "Guantanamo Bay" if you tried it on a public road.
R32 for me. Cleanest look and the original.
The R33 doesn't get the love. The 32 because its lighter simpler Godzilla. The 34 because Gran Turismo/ Fast & Furious. The R33 is the overlooked middle child.
In reply to 84FSP :
That's clearly the best GT-R, but R34 prices haven't gone crazy yet because they're not eligible for import under the 25 year exemption yet
R32 for me. Mostly cause of the HKS car.

You know, there's nothing wrong with an R32 sedan on RPF1s.
