For mild mods the R32 is cheaper.

As soon as you want some serious power you have to spend much more $$ on another engine and gearbox.

Just those mods alone send the price of the 32 over the 33.

But yer.. I like the 32's nice and smallish, good for Uni. ;)

Remember, faster isn't always better. I would buy for the GTS4 for two reasons:

1) It wasn't a povo-pack GTS4 like the R33/34 versions. It got all the good fruit from the GT-R.

2) R33s are common ;)

Only weak link is the engine IMHO (/me suits up waiting for flames from RB20 lovers): the extra weight from the 4WD system will take the edge of performance.

But larger displacement RBs are not exactly expensive, so there is a lot of room for increasing performance.

LW.

yea i was thinking that the awd will weigh it down more but with good traction at take off at the lights, the beast should do well up to 120kmph before a r33 will catch up. what do u guys think?? i just something that goes up quick to about 140ish....... ill be getting the r32 in about a months time and with extra cash left over, i was planning to get new cams, power fc and a turbo up grade.....im stilling finking of which turbo to get. :flamed:

I wouldn't bother with a cam upgrade, but I would do the following.

PowerFC

Fuel pump

GT2530 turbo or the new Garret GT3071R http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=43864

Adjustable Cam gears and Maybe a set of GTR cams

It would fly, definately quick for od Traffic light grand prix. ;)

Traffic light grand prix seem to be quite common here in Adelaide,

I have no problem with it providing people do it sensibly, problem is you can trust your self to be sensible but you can't trust the other person too.

There is no need to do 140km/h, 0-80 or some times 0-100 depending where it is.

Don't go doing it down Anzac Highway that is just plain stupid, too many cars.

I've had a little squirt with some nice cars, one being a new ferrari (who drove like a boy racer) a Diablo VT (Red one which was very very loud and very quick) one very very quick R33 GTST Skyline (which was quicker than the Diablo and Ferrari)

Traffic light grandprix can be dangerous.

Not because you can hit some one but because you don't know what the other person will do.

There was a mid 30year old block that had been tailgating me to the point where I was unable to see his wiper blades. We turned on to a 3 laned 80km/h road, with no traffic. We pulled up at the next set of lights, he continued to rev his car acting like a dick.

I brought the rev's up a little and zipped off putting an easy few car lengths on him by the time I was almost out of second. I short shifted in to third then fourth then fifth sitting on 80-90km/h.

I then looked back and could hear him winding his old tank out through the gears when he passed me what felt like easy over 120km/h.

He continued to accelerate flat stick.

I lost sight of him as I went around a big sweeping corner, after getting back on a straight the first thing I saw was him roughly 1km ahead and a 4wd with a trailer pulling out in front of him as to head in the opposite direction.

He swerved right then left again, his rear wheel clipped the medium strip sending him in to a 100m slide (I measured it)

He cam to rest on the medium strip, he only just nudged a tree but it was enough for a branch to break and drop on his bonnet.

I thought to my self, what a friggin dick head.

Imagine if he had killed him self or some one else.

I would feel quilty as hell and most probably would share the responsibility for the accident.

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
