Hi robo i met you once to pick up the gtr blow off valve a while ago, I have still got the 33 gtst and recently purchased a rebuilt r32 GTR and it is fantastic i am loving the handling and the power so i would say upgrading to a r33 GTR you would love it.

When I had my GTS-T, I never really bothered thinking about the upgrade. Just loved the GTST for what it was and enjoyed it! However, when you drive the GTR, you really love it... just the way it drives, it's got a real presence to it and just feels so tough... good times, I recommend the upgrade :P

Besides, Evo's are boring.... well, not for the first six months haha, until you realise the car will never do a thing wrong and drives itself. A GTR is a much more rewarding drive! (I owned an Evo for over a year before the 33 GTR). If you want to get quick numbers around a race track, then Evo is the best choice, but it's not as rewarding to drive. I can see your into drags, I wouldn't buy an Evo at all if you are....

Now if only i could get one to have a drive in :)

The only person i know that has one is pushing 429wkw, so thats a bit unfair comparison :D

youd be right.

but your gtst's suspension may be farked or maybe not setup right (if already aftermarket)

Im actually reall impressed with the Stock suspention in my 33, keeping in mind it has only done 50,000km, its very very firm! Id be safe to say that it feels a little better than my stock Integra Type R suspention did when i got it.

WOW. I feel the exact opposite re my suspension. it is stock, has done 90k kms. Maybe it's partly the diff that is causing the problem.

If your suspension is better than a stock Type R I can understand why you would be really impressed.

A GTS-T is a monster, A GT-R is a monster's monster.

Do the maths...

Stock for stock, I wouldn't really call either of them a monster. There actually pretty avarage cars, they just have alot of potential.

If your thinking about buying a GTR it's pretty irrelivant if it's got this or that or whatever doodad, go drive a few and see what you think, there such different cars. The 4wd is good but it isn't for everyone, just depends what you like really.

and you can confirm that they are "THE SAME" suspension bits that were installed on your car in 1998?

NO.

I find it very hard to believe ANY stock suspensioned skyline handling better than a stock DC2R or DC5R

Dude, chill out. I said it FEELS better. I didnt say it was :s

My ITR when i bought it had done 99,000km, so it had double the wear on it. So when i compare the suspention that I owned, then the Skylines FELT better.

Its definatley firmer than the ITR was. But then again so was my mums Toyota Curren, but that had dont 30,000km. Its all about wear and tear. I bet a brand new stock ITR is hard as hell.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.

      Is r33 gtr steering wheel the same as the gtst?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S2/3 GT-R is the same as S2 GTS-t The SRS airbags module in under the centre console. The S1/S1.5 GTS-t and S1 GT-R had the module built into the steering wheel. FWIW, I have a S3 GT-R wheel in my S2 GTS-t shit box. Same airbag plug, airbag light goes on then off, meaning all systems are go. S3 GT-R has red stitching, that's about it.

      Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By 25debt · Posted

      Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers

      ChatGPT is trash and lies about things I would not expect it to lie about considering many things it's wrong about are very easily verified with google. The S3 R33 GTR shares its steering wheel with R33 GTSTs of the same production year. Part number is 48430-26U17. I'm guessing you have to get it from a car that came with HICAS though, the ER33 is 48430-26U18, but the HR33 diagrams note that part number is still leather vs 48430-26U13 which is not leather-wrapped. They all use the same airbags, so if you need another one you can get it off basically any same year R33 or Stagea.
