The latest GUI version at http://r.research.att.com/ is:

R-GUI-7299-3.3-mavericks-Debug.dmg

You should probably reinstall the whole bundle since your version of R is not uptodate either:

R-3.3-branch
3.3.2 Patched
(2016/12/28, r71859)

The installer bundles at either of these sites should be the same:

http://r.research.att.com/mavericks/R-3.3-branch/R-3.3-branch-mavericks.pkg
https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/R-3.3.2.pkg
