So I sold my Stagea drifter and bought a beater R33.

Here's how it looked a week ago:

Plans are to paint the P1's the grey 2 tone colour, run 16/17 stagger with rim to guard on le rear. I've got a nice subtle kit coming together and a few other things. Mainly just setup to be a basic street/drift car.

Ill be really honest, the two dont even compare to each other even driving around the streets.

The GTR just feels so much more rugged, sports car orientated. Poor turning circle, sit low, and harsh ride, feels so much wider etc

And as soon as you give it some stick, and corning the gap widens greatly!

The GTST feels more like a everyday car that is sporty if that makes sense.

Sit higher, easier to cruise around in, more comfy etc.

Still love driving around in both tho! would never swap either for a holden or ford!! lol

Hahaha good on you. Wow I wouldn't have guessed that. How about the evo 7 compared to the gtr? I'm guessing the 33 wins out if you have that now and sold the lancer? ;)

I only ask because I'm considering getting an evo 7/8 as my next car and when I was younger all the SPEED magazines and Best Motoring videos compared the evo 7 to the r34 gtr. So I gather it must be good. :)

Loved the Evo 7! LOVED it! Very practical as my daily, having 4 doors and never seemed to get pulled over in it. Comfortable, clean, easy to drive...

Easier to find a good nic Evo 7/8 then it is to find a decent 32/33 GTR.

I just missed the rugged feeling of the GTR over the Evo. Loved the straight line speed, of the GTR and the overall feel of it. But kw for kw the evo would have smashed the gtr if the road was stupidly twistie but apart from that GTR hands down for me.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
    • And, given that you're in NC, go buy an LS7 or something equally sweet and piss that crappy old RB off. Or call up Wesley Kagan and get his help putting a Merc V12 into it.
    • Do a compression test, and a bore scope on the cylinder that lost parts of the plug. Chances are, that cylinder isn't so happy anymore...
