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.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
