R32 Gts-t Vs R33 Gts-t

[Granthem]

To me, all skylines can look sweet.

I bought an R34 and now am probably starting to like the SII r33s more.

r32s have always looked tuff, its just they are now getting on in age and commonly niggly little problems.

All skylines look good, all have potential.

I would probably go the R32 though if your planning track days etc, nice and light with a mean tone

The following is a quote/interview from Tatsuhiro Shibata (owner of R31 House in Japan).

THe following questions were asked (in bold).

(Side note, he was interviewed by "import" magazine, in the skyline special)

Q. The Rb20DET has a bit of a reputation for being sluggish while in low revs. This is espically the case when you start adding big turbos and the like. Whats the best thing you can do to fix this problem?

A. Change the engine.

Q. Seriously?

A. Yes, change it to an RB25/26. Its a much better base to start with. If you must use the RB20, we suggest a complete overhaul of the componets associated with the engine, if not the insides too. That means all electrics, sensors, ignition coils, air pressure regulator. Its 20 years old. It will need a freshen up. Then try adding some sensible modfications.

**End**

I think we can all agree, this guy knows what he is talking about.. his job and life are SKYLINES and SKYLINES only, as proven by the following Q&A.

Q. So, what non-skyline do you fancy?

A. Nothing.

So there we have it.. RB25DET > RB20DET.

As for the style and looks of the two, thats down to personal taste... and no-one should tell you what looks better and what doesnt, as its going to be your car not theirs.

If anyone wants to do further reading, its Issue No. 90 of "Imports"... No more standing in the middle of the road! LOL

RB25DET > RB20DET && R32 > R33 therefore R32 RB25DET

QED.

(note all calculations exclude RB26DETT and R34)

I dont take advice from a guy that tries to make a living from modifying Pintaras

[nizmo_freek]

Yay!!!!!!

Another r32 vs r33 thread!

"st00pid" thread!

[Justa32]

nissan didnt invent the rb25 for no reson... its newer its better.. if you dont care about the interior and how new the car is then get a 32, ive got an r32 with a bored out rb20 and i wouldnt trade it for any r33 whale on the road. if you choose the r32 upgrade to a high flowed r33 turbo get a frontmount + 12psi and thats more than enough power to have fun with for probably the same amount of money you would pick up a 33 for.

*edit: ive got a 3 1/2" rsr catbak no whale out there beats it in the sound department*

I think your missing the point, he works with Rb20s 25s and 26s for god knows how many years, so obviously he knows these engines inside out.

[aurace]

OK thanks guys - didn't want this to turn into a sledge fest. If i get the chance ill try out both.

Thanks for all the replies and opinions. Its obvious it comes down to a lot of personal preference and what the car is intended for.

Hopefully i'll be joining the skyline family soon enough ;-)

[Justa32]

dont get a whale!

Had to laugh at this one. hahaha

But Pintaras dude ! If a guy was banging the dumbest, ugliets and yes poor as hell street trash, would you take advice on picking up broads from him? He mods Pintaras so how does he know what is mustard?

Nissan won numerous Touring Car Crowns with the RB20 in a Pintara. It must have been a great engine to carry that chassis to victory. Now what has an RB25 ever won, except the race to melt pistons and get ignition/boost cut when you simply throw a bit of boost at the std ECU

Yes, i am just trash talking

Not hopefully. You will

you can't argue with motor sport pedigree!

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?

[R338OY]

CA20e

Sounds like teh killah motah

[BHDave]

don't knock the twin spark!

[ztuned]

Yes, i am just trash talking

yep that pretty much summaries what you said in the whole thread

fark this is a serious thread!

I rekon.

I mean, I could understand it if the thread was about how R32 GTST owners are Dreamers..., but this is just stoopid.

also need threads about how many r32 need to UPGRADE their parts to r33 parts

Roy and RB20 talk > *

[adam-__-]

Go for the R33. Who cares if they're a little heavier, they've got the extra .5litre more to make up for it and larger brakes to stop it.

They do look a little shittier, but who cares.

[scarface]

i think r33's with a nice kit look better then r32's, even s1 r33's, stock for stock they both look shit though
