noticing a trend here yet buddy? The vast majority of R32 owners base their entire argument on the look of the R32, which to them is superior...If 99% of their argument is based on something that comes down to personal taste, what does that say for the rest of the car they're defending ? :)

fwaah, chek out the 32GTR in the bground...now that looks sweet!

:) you can't argue with motor sport pedigree! :rolleyes:

Whens the last time you say a 33gtst racing in Group A! Oh hang on, never saw a 32gtst run there either....

damn, that pintara is looking attractive now. CA20e's aren't they?

But the RB20 won the SATCC in 1990, and won several JTCC. That engine ended up in the R32, save the manifold and turbo. Neither the RB25 or R33 had done anyting except cruise Oxford Street with Pin Pearl paint, 20" chrmoies and yellow leather interior :blink:

Stop finding flaws in my nonsense rambling, it isnt meant to make sense :P

Dont S2 R33s have that tacky clith interior? They do look nicer then the S1 though. And the interior, just like the exterior is very much a matter of taste as the R33 is too Camry for me. Then again teh R32 is very VN Commodore :bunny:

I happen to have driven these 3... 1st car was 91 VN, 2nd 02 Camry & finally a 93 R33 ... what are the chances...

& to the OP, if you are coming from a Excel, then even a push bike is probably an upgrade from that... LOL :laugh: .

speaking for myself and alot like my friends, we always prefered the shape of the R32 before we owned one.

tuff street style. but hey, that's us. we're all different.

everyone on here knows the RB25 is better stock to stock. newer technology, better response with bigger turbos, and can acheive a higher power rating.

everyone has their personal preference. i know if i wanted to go out and get higher in the power figures i would use an RB25.. even over an RB26. but i've got what i've got, and it surely does what i want it to do with ease.

we own RB engines, so we should be arguing with SR or CA owners, not ourselves.

my point was that the main argument from R32 owners is that 'R33's look shit' which is a stupid thing to say because its personal taste. if the worst thing they can say about an R33 is that it looks shit, then it must be a pretty good car. end of story.

"lets be frank: our 33V-Spec looks like a boat against the other three. It's the least aggressive in its styling and more closely cut from the generic Skyline cloth..."

article: r32 v r33 v r34 v r35 (gtrs)

lol...

MOTOR, the Holden specialists :thumbsup:

Thats a nice lookin gtst.. and it looks like a gtst but the color suits it perfectly.. :P

In my opinion, and i said it wayyy back in this thread.. i dont like R33's. i prefer the r32 LOOKS wise..

R33 is faster than the R32, is newer and blah blah blah.. R32 with rb25/26 is the best option i reckon because i love the look of the R32. but thats my personal opinion

As for my "blown" motor.. it never blew champ :) 1 of the turbos exploded

A couple pieces of the wheel managed to somehow go back into the engine and score the bores. no biggie :(

GTR front bar without the lip?? looks different lol but good

or other front bar.. whatever it is it looks nice, but we had a nice clean White R33 GTR @ work the other day... only had a set of wheels and it looked Gold

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
