hey guys, i just wanted to share with everyone that skylines are so slow comparing it against a 2003 wrx. last nite my cousin let me drive his wrx and its hell fast compared to the gts4 turbo (r32). the wrx has a 3inch exhaust from the turbo and it sounds so swt....... the boost kicks in hard and i mean real hard at 3500 rev. man i fink im gonna get myself a wrx instead nows. i thought the RBs where good but nothing drives and handles like da WRX!!!

Well if takes Subaru 14years to build a car that makes you happy!! Good for you... "14years too late" As funky would say:

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TWO DECADES AGO

You're comparing an R32 gts4 to a WRX??? dollar for dollar compare it to a R33 GTR "but you really don't have to go that far, you could compare it with a GTsT 33 at half the price"...then tell me what makes you smile. But yes, the boxer note is a beautiful sound, which can be deceiving and be confused with power :)

Personally I couldn't care less if its faster -- BMI did a comparison where even the R34 GT-Rs were close to being beaten by the latest Evo/WRX Spec-C -- it looks like a $20k econobox on the inside and there is so much room for additional power out of a Skyline. Try that in a WRX without blowing your gearbox.

Anyway, obviously a troll

LW.

Dude - I own a skyline and a MY03 rex. The rex is a nice car with a bit of kick and fun to chuck around but the skyline is a weapon.

Having said all that if I had to choose between an R32 GTST4 and an MY03 rex I'd choose the rex - but not for the reasons you mentioned. More because its a near new car and hence would be a better buy. But if we are talking money wise then an MY03 is comparable to an R33 GTR and the skyline would win hands down.

hahah go easy on him, he's made a mistake, sure, you guys are harsh :P

as its been said here (if you ever come back to read this thread?)

compare it with something a little better... My R33GTR would be a better comparison price wise.. its 10 years old (even older technology), and it makes wrx's (well all that i have lined up against) look like they are standing still, subaru's also have problems with understeer... but i agree they have the misconception that they make you feel like your going fast (especially with the exaust) and feel like they handle good... put it against a GTR, or even a half decent gtst

as snowman said, new wrx vs 15 year old r32, i'd be temped by the wrx as well, newer car etc...

Right... Well an R32 GTS-t is better. And it gets better from there. You said "Skylines are slow"

But I would like to see you go up against and R34 GTR N1 even in a 22B . . .

That said an R32 GTR stock would beat a 2003/2004 WRX. ( Track. 1/4 Mile )

As it has been said: "It's all about the chop chop" :bananaman :bananaman

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
