Hey mate,

Ive just PM'd you with some details.

I used to own one, and by far the best car ive ever driven. EVER.

Cheers

champ!

PM replied mate :)

There were some good articles in the earlier zoom magazines, as the editor at the time had one. I will try and find them when I get home in a couple of days and scan them up for you.

that would be great thanks bud!

damn. honestly i was actually hoping NOT to get such positive feedback on these cars so i could have an excuse to continue searching for an r32 gtst instead :P but i've heard enough its definately gonna be an rs!! plus i don't think these days i'd be able to get a decent r32 for anything under 10Gs anyway..

esky_mad thanks for the pics of the green/blue 1 dude didn't know those things could look that good :)

just looking for some unbiased opinion on this car, which is why i haven't bothered going on subaru forums.

anyone here ever owned one or currently drives one? i'd just like to know how reliable they are etc..

to past owners - why have you sold yours? got sick of it? too much of a headache? switched to rwd? upgraded?

any help is much appreciated.

thanks :P

brought a GTiR cause i couldnt find one. sold the GTiR to buy a RS.. couldnt find one. brought a GTR.. now over AWDs.

they are pretty tight car. basicaly a wrx without the stupid fully hektic burnout image. gearboxes are weak but can swap with the MY98 onwards box aslong as its a GC series and the same rear diff ratio. the water to air cooler is ok. but benifits from a FMIC Air to Air. with a form of water spray.

so for around 10k i rather get a RS wagon than a GTiR or a stagea RS auto S1.

they are a great car and ive driven a few. smooth with wrx rumble.. :)

www.libertyrs.org good bunch of blokes.

keep in mind all this info is off my head from years back. :P

if i dig up anymore info ill let u knw

thanks

mark.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
