  1. you cant use nos on the streets, i think its even illegal just to have the bottle hooked up whilst on the streets. but the question remains, whould a 22hp shot of nos get rid of lag? can you get it set up like a dual stage manual boost controller? and have say, 75hp shot on low setting and the full 200hp shot on high?
  2. my wrx came on full boost around 3200-3500rpm, this was after some mods. before the mods it came on around 2900-3200rpm. this was a little laggy (3200-3500) but livable. what does a modded r33 come on boost at? the r33 that im looking at (with 417kws atw) do you think it would keep up with a modded rex? i mean, i know the gtr might kill it over the long run, but remembering that the speed limits are fairly low, would it keep up to the rex off the lights up to say.......60-100km/hr? thanks guys.
  3. ferni - no i havent had the oppertunity to drive one as yet. hope to soon though! slow13dude - why would i need the 4wd controller????????
  4. Im new to skylines, (having come from a wrx, going to the 6cly darkside) but what im wondering is...im looking at getting a r33 gtr. ive seen a couple on diferent car sales web sites with 600hp (i think thats around 400kws)atw. but what i want to know is, would these be lag monsters, that only make the power up higher in the speed range? as i said, having come from a wrx, i love the power off the line that a wrx has, but now i want more and a gtr seems the way to go! i like the look of the r33, so thats the one i want. 1.what sort of power (kws at the wheels) should i be looking for before i start to suffer in the lag area? 2.should i be looking for certain types of aftermarket turbos? basicaly i want something that is VERY quick off the mark, and VERY quick overall. my wrx had about 160-170kws atw, and it started to bore me!!!! thanks for any help!!!!
  5. thanks guys the last bunch of replies have been great. one last question though.....i was talking to an importer the other day and he said that the R32 is the fastest, then the 33 then the 34(i think due to weight) i like the look of the 34, hate the 32, but the 33 seems to have some of the better features of both. so.....whats the 33 like as a car compared to the 34? obviously its alot cheaper, but does it drive and perform well? is it easy to get more power out of it? does it have the automatic power split thing that the 34 has (where it puts power to the front when needed?) thanks again!!!!
  6. thanks alot guys for the helpful (and the not so helpful) comments. it was especially helpful to hear from those who have had or still have both cars GTR/WRX. it seems from the comments, and correct me if ive read them wrong, that if i want something that goes hard off the line with minimal lag, then the wrx is the way to go? i just loved the off the line accelleration of the wrx, as theres not many places that you can legally (or at least not get caught doing it)stretch the legs of your car these days, the only way to feel the power under your bonnet is when you go from 0 to the speed limit. if a gtr is only starting to stretch its legs by then, then i supose the fun/fast alternative is the wrx or as some people have mentioned, the evo. dont get me wrong, i will push the car beyond the speed limit if it is safe to do so, but i dont want to wait until 120kms before the car really performs. once again, thank you for the HELPFUL comments.
  7. franks; I mean the price difference between the two is sooo great. if i got a second hand 03, with some work ie http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!c...rch_distance=25 thats 600hp, for $63,000 I would still have change from the $80,000 i would spend on the GTR,then i could spend the $17,000 diference on more upgrades! like maby some nos etc!!! to the others that replied, once again; IM NOT TRYING TO START AN ARGUMENT, I LOVE BOTH CARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please dont start quoting one sided facts and figures at me "Subaru never once win JGTC championship in japan" because (and i could be wrong, it might have been beaten by now) but didnt a WRX (maby the HKS) absolutly demolish the record for drifting? and in relation to"Subaru never once win JGTC championship in japan" whe did you see a gtr beat a wrx in the WRC? its all wheel drive....so where is it???? SEE, you can throw these points back and forth all year, and still not get anywhere! once again, i could be wrong (probably am) but if the gtr weighs 1560kgs and the wrx is 1217kgs, and both are 206kws, then wouldnt the wrx win on kws/kg? gtr=0.132 kws/kg @ 206kws wrx=0.169 kws/kg @206kws and if you take into account that the 206 of the gtr is understated and it really is 260kws (arguable), then gtr=0.166 kws/kg wrx=0.169 kws/kg then ther is the 1/4 mile...in stock form the gtr is said to do it in 14sec's and the sti in 13.5, now thats half a second faster for a car that NEW will cost $55k, compared to a second hand gtr at $80k lets not sit here arguing, i need help in buying my next car. i need facts, i just need a good reason to buy the gtr over the wrx!
  8. I need help! Having already had a modified 98 wrx, im looking at getting a new hobby car! what i want to know is WHY i should fork out $80,000+ for a 99-00 R34(which has around 260kws atw), when I could get a 03-05 WRX STI spend a little on it, and have a car that will blow away a gtr, and for less $$$ ? Im not trying to start an argument, i love the R34, but im finding it hard to justify!!!! could someone with a little knowledge of BOTH cars, please help me out. (plus, I need to convince the wife!!!) Thanks guys!
  9. do you save much $$$ ? should i be looking for an already modified one?
  10. I was just wondering whats a better option? I want a 1999-2000model GTR, what would be cheaper import one or buy one local? Thanks guys!!!
