R34 GT-T or RX-7?

[Guest tgriffin]

Yeah I got that one, Issue 3. The R33 (GTS-T - not a GTR) managed 300rwkw.

It's also got a performance upgrade guide for the S15.

Cheers,

Tim

the 33 and the 34 are worlds apart though

the rx7 has the sequential turbo system in which either the second turbo whichs come on at high rpm never works, or the small one that come on at low rpm doesent ever work so u get shit loads of lag.!!

The setup on those is an absolute mess!

but they come with a standared BOSE sound system

BOSE is the best! dunno bout the car systems but home systems rule! so small yet so loud!z

When it somes to upgrading turbos on cars with a sequential setup, they do away with the twins and go the single route. Sequential setup is complicated to work with.

pffft! try find any car audi shop that sells bose stuff!

Bose is good for home systems, but the 1 in the rx7 can build yourself with alpine, focal stuff that would sound 10 times better for a few thousand

When it comes to front speakers, you can't go past MB quartz.

yeah akeenan, u r right, i was going to get a R33 GTS-T but remember the whole parents thing...so they said i gotta wait a year, and yeah i know this whole thing is only going to be relevant next November, but i just thought that i'd get some opinions now, so when i have the money next Nov, i'll have more of an idea what to do with it...and no, i'm not dreaming, i will have enough money for a R34 GT-T, but to find a local RX-7 might be pushing it...altho i found a few at autotrader.com.au in my price range...so it might be possible. But i think for my second car the R34 GT-T may be the way to go, i'm looking for more of a daily driver and one that is more reliable, and i think the skyline can take those two spots.

I was reading about that Silver-Arrowz, quite a few single turbo setups have been down over in the US, seems to be pretty popular.

I really appreciate all the opinions, and it's a bit hard to guess at prices a full year out, so we'll see what happens then, but i think at the moment, the R34 GT-T is the way to go for someone who doesn't know alot about car engines, i think the RX-7 is bit more of a purist car, not to say i won't have my hands full with a 1450kg, 208kw car , but for a daily driver, i think the Skyline can take that spot.

rx7's have rotary engines.. well if they;re so good y dont more cars have them? hmmmmmmm...

another point... the shape of the rx7 is pretty awesome now... but it is quote odd and strangely rounded..... it'll prolly date pretty quickly.

maybe its just me... but isnt the r34 the obvious winner?

ps... am i in rx7's australia or skylines australia??? could almost forget after reading the posts in this thread:(

[SS8_Gohan]

heheh, it's ok to like other cars besides Skylines mango....really!

[Guest GR33DyMANGO]

hehee... i think i might be obsessed with em.. heheee

Well, why don't Ferrari's and Lambo's have rear mounted engines like the 911???

Mazda took a long time to perfect the rotory engine. Lots of money went into engineering and evolving the motor. Other companies aren't going to take an unknown path. Mazda may know something they may not.

Thinking like that is just like how V8 diehards think. Have an open mind. I don't see GTS-t's winning 24 hour races.

judging from their other cars...i dont think so

[Guest GR33DyMANGO]

ahhaahaha..

its gettin' hot in hereeeeeee.... so take off all your clothessss.......

Are u stupid. Firstly all Lambos have Rear mounted engines.

Secondly almost all Ferrari's have Rear mounted engines (F50, F30, 360. The only one that has a FR that comes to mind is the 550 Maranello

Thirdly Porsches are shit comapared to Ferraris and Lamborgines. Only the GT3 comes close.

ok ok....jokes aside (yes, i was on the floor laughing), thanks to akeenan and mango, mazda have decided to stick with the Rotary for the new RX-8, so they must like something about them.

Look the RX-7 is wicked, and so are Skylines. Simple as that. Maybe the twin turbo, Series 6/7 RX-7's are more than a match for the GT-T, probably better put head to head against a GTR, but i think we've established the fact the RX-7's are SEX ON WHEELS, and handle/go better than a GT-T, GTS-T, but for a practical daily, awesome performance, car, the R34 GT-T is the go...

but yes, we would like a RX-7...

rotars kick ass for drag racing!

13b turbo with a shot of NOS in a r100 or rx3, hellos 10's easily and cheaply!
