I went for the 33 because it's newer, more cubes (yes they do make a difference to everyday driving), and as much as you 32 guys bag it for it :rolleyes: the extra weight helps it to ride that little bit nicer on the highway - it is a road car after all. If I want to go hard, I'll take the bike - no point in turning the car into a pig to drive :D

RB25s aren't a weak motor - like any motor, including the RB20, if they're tuned badly they'll blow up. Remember 40RCD? That thing was internally standard except for forgies (yes it had some work done like balancing etc but it was all stock) and it absolutely flew. I remember sitting behind it when he was running the AJM 300ZX... a small puff of fuel smoke and then it disappeared at a rapid pace :)

I've never really understood the whole 33 vs 32 thing, they're both ^#%$in awesome cars, and I could name a whole list of both models (and others) I would own in an instant - Cam's 32t for example, Gary's old 33t or just about anything that's ever been parked in Steve's driveway :D

when I was in NZ sdu had a skyline drag. The most common being r32 against R33.

Both cars turned out to about the same down the quarter.

The R32 GTR was giving the R33 GTR a run for its money and it was winning as well 8 )

R32 would be a force to be reckoned with if it had the RB25DET in it

niz130, you should see an aussie R31 sit next to an R32 in a highway race. He pulled on me, but only when i changed gears (more revs = he kept foot down for longer)

i like the 32's for looks, weight and handling.

20k is way too much. 15k is ok.

... or the look when a supercharged V6 Calais gets whipped by an auto 4cyl Camry :lol:

It might not be the best car around but damn that thing has given us some laughs :D

How many other cars can you come into a corner marked at a recommended 70kmh at 50 and have a japanese exchange student and both front tyres screaming in protest? :) "No, no dorifto.. aaaaaaahh!!!" ... hehehe ah that was fun. Pity we didn't get to take her for a proper drive.

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
