Whats the fuel mileage like driving around town not using boost. Thats the -ONLY- reason i could see for using a turbo that doesn't hit hard until 4,600rpm. By 4,600rpm a stock GTS-T turbo has already been in action for over 2.000rpm.

Smaler turbo's are tuned so they react faster than the mighty power giants.....

Originaly designed by the French to fuel and generate alternat power.

And they will almost work 98% as long as the engine is runnin. We all know that. some of us prefer thinking they only work when in the red and the big pshhhhh goes off.....nice jeahhh.

The GTSt's are more finley tunded than GTR's simple reason. Smaller everything, more degradation on parts over time...

Marketing the R33 ment finding out what comparison between parts and cost of maintenence will relate to people compared to numbers manufacturer releases on the year.

So if you are thinking about economy than talk to Mr Johny I thinlk his moms shoppin troley is fuel efficient enough.

Hey people lets not forget about the laws of physics, the dyno will give you some fancy numbers and the guys running will tunme your car. YES. Walid statement. But how many of you R drivers have taken the circuyit and felt the g's under some unreal conditions with corners and cops on both sides of your rear vision. So please unleas you wana sound like the rest of the pathetic Comodore club nerds

In the great ones words "LETS GET REAL"

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
