how do you like your 32 compared to your old 180?

my 180 came on strong, but runs out of puff on top end, the skyline has no balls what so ever on low revs but when it picks up it picks up, handling wise i think the 180 was alot better, but then again i did have suspension bits, where as the skyline its just lowered, but id choose the rb zort note over the sr rawr ne day. Over all i think i broke even, not upgrading, not downgrading.

ps thanks for the positive comments.

hey shaun, nice ride.

i also had a 180sx (now have a r33). when i had my 180 it was reasonably stock (just exhaust, lowered and a bit more boost) and i found it a little bit sluggish down low, especially when i hopped into my missus SSS pulsar (natro sr). it would pull better out of slow corners but run out of puff up top.

the r33 i have now pulls nicely from about 2500-3000rpm. never driven a r32, but would like to some time. just have to wait for someone in town to buy 1 that is in ok condition (there are 2 in town but neither would pull the skin off a rice pudding).

    • Hey guys! Thanks for the feedback!    it’s got some basic mods currently but it’s been tastefully done  has a z32 Maf and a HKS Mushroom filter an old logo nismo strut brace, splitfire coil packs, braided turbo lines, turbo smart boost controller, walbro 450 fuel pump, sports cat and a reinik cat back exhaust, shock works coilovers, Greddy turbo timer, blitz FMIC, blitz BOV, hard race hicas delete, ebc brakes (front), excedy heavy duty clutch, Michelin pilot sport 4 tyres, and the 33 GTR wheels from memory. i have also had my mate 3D print a gas cap holder for inside the petrol flap haha but she’s very clean underneath (being a paint sprayer of 15 years I did not want to mess around with rust!) and she’s had thousands spent on maintenance over the last few years, she drives like a new car!  my future plans is to do an RB30 rebuild with a 25 head uprated turbo etc etc I’m hoping to start this next year, I’ve just opened a premises for my business so that takes priority at the moment! But overall I’m extremely happy with it!    
    • I'm just being rude. The VQ was developed by Nissan Japan, but it comes from the time when Renault were....ruining what Nissan had been before. Just look at a Nissan Tiida, and tell me that you're not looking at a Renault. In fact, just look at a V series Skyline or Z33 etc and tell me that you're not looking at something Frenchified. I just see the VQ an emblematic of that. It is also a nasty sounding thing. I'm really glad I chose to stay RB and not put a VQ30 in when I did my car. As to the RB30 being Aussie.....arguably it's a bit Aussie.
    • That depends, if the French got it from the Japanese, its Japanese. Or, is the rb30 aussie? Also, wouldn't it be Vq for a junior variant? 
    • As soon as the MAFs are replaced with ones that work properly, if the harness isn't ruined it should run perfectly immediately. 
    • If you haven't already decided on a career, look at being a mechanic, engine reconditioning or mechanical engineering. All 3 will give you different views and levels of knowledge (eg, mechanic is general for the whole vehicle, reconditioning will teach you engine specifics, engineer can design stuff). Or.......find something you love doing, hope its a well paying area and pay someone else to build the car for you. After 20 years of mechanicing, I've lost the passion for working on my own car. It may be different if I had access to a hoist, but it is what it is.
