Need Some Advice

[shaun123]

hey guys,

just aftera bit of advice, i currently have a r33 non-turbo and after being for acouple of drives in my mates turbo cars, it looks addicitivly fun...

my question is, since im a P plater, do you think its worth going to a r32gts-t and selling my r33 or keeping my r33 which is newer?

Dude you can ask and ask all you like and get a million and one responses. The best way for you to decide is go take one for a drive. If you like it... take it! If not... well... don't!

yea thats true, but im just looking for peoples opinions who have been in a r33 gts and a r32 gts-t and if they really notice any difference?

buy one..get rid of the N/A

hmm what i was really after was are there many problems with the r32 over the r33? any common problems with the rb20 compared to the rb25, im esepcially concerned about turbos blowing up n stuff since i've never owned a turbo before. how reliable/strong are rb20det's? also the gearboxes??

thanx

IMO, the R33 is newer and therefore less likely to have problems due to age. I currently have an NA R33 myself and will be buying a turbo R33 half cut in the next couple of years to do an engine swap. That way, you keep your car and get a turbo.

You need a half cut cause you need the GTSt gearbox as well. Some other things should get changed at the same time, (eg brakes etc.) but it seems like the best option in my books. You can then sell your RB25DE. Half cuts range a little in price, but if you look around, you can get a good one for $2.5-3k.

if your on your p's can you even insure a turbo/drive a turbo car?

if you can then go for a series 1 r33 turbo, compromise!
