car choice.......... help PLS

[readyGO]

someone pls tell me why i shouldnt sell my r33 and save for a s14 series 2...........

....my skyline still stock but lately ive been thinking of selling it... i dont feel its quick and agile enough.. help!

[Kaido_RR]

su got the right idea sell buy s14a, its local cheaper on insurance and a lighter car

[leech_]

your choice i personally like my skyline even though its fairly stock. i am sure if u get a stock s14 u will be over it in a while too save some money get some mods you will like it again.

[DLuded]

you always get used to ur cars performance after a while

if its stock then buy a pod filter and exhaust and u will love it.....then get used to it and spend more money making it faster lol

[readyGO]

it has a pod on it..... i dunno what ill do.. i love my 33 but its not having the same effect on me before i owned it,,, i guess its the feeling u get of things u cant/dont have

[readyGO]

also guys, im gettin killed out there vs my gf's brothers my02 rex :|

what am i going to need to put him in his place? hes got exhaust and upped boost.. 12psi?

will exhaust and fmic and 12psi do the trick? or will i need to get ecu change and injectors..

[Sambo33]

straight through 3"exhaust, FMIC & 12psi & make sure your pod is heat sheilded and has a cold air intake, you will get heaps more power! you don't need ecu & injectors for those, but start saving for an ecu for later on. dunno how it will go against the WRX, but if it was me id hang on to the skyline.

Full exhaust and you'll chop him dude!

The get a good boost controller to hold 12psi (elc holds better)...

I love s14 (series 2)s aswell, but atleast do your exhaust b4 u let the car go, r33s sound a HELL of alot nicer than an s14 does!!!

Power vs weight ratios, both cars will be similar with similar mods aswell, you wont loose anything with the skyline except the problem of the stock ECU not bein able to go past 12psi where as an s14 one can...

Hang onto the car until you've done the exhaust, you have to give it a chance, rb25s are awsome engines!

get a 32, problem solved

[thommo]

it's a lot of effort to sell then buy a new car.

i would suggest get straight thru exhaust at least and see how you feel. if you don't feel any gain, and are still unhappy then get something else.

personally, there is no way i would go from my R33 to the s14a. for a day to day car the skyline is soo much more comfortable, and ultimately is easy to get big power from :aroused: .

it will be a totally different car once you have added fmic and boost control, trust me .

The 02 rexy has 14 psi stock boost !!

Although 02 is the slowest of the late model rexes you need a fair bit of work to beat him . Stock 02 rexy and stock r33 the rexy will leave you for dead .

You will need a power f/c , front mount and more boost just to keep up with him .

Get a bigger turbo as well and then you will chop him for sure .

If he wants to beat you then he will have to spend a few $ on bigger turbo and ecu , then it will all come down to traction , dont forget he has 4wd .

5 speed rexes have a weak gearbox though ( they pop second gear ) .

So there you go and i speak from experience , i have owned a few rexes ( still have 02 sti ) and i have a couple gtrs as well , rexes are not a match for gtrs though .

thanks people, SAU is so informative... i think ill become a regular here... ok ill get my turbo back exhaust before i make any major decisions...coz i love my 33

[yuandaokia]

nos is your friend :headspin:

It's also very hard to find a good s14a. Well, when I was looking that was the major determining factor in me buying my Skyline.

Insurance is also more expensive on s14 200sx's than on r33 gtst's. Well, it is here in Sydney anyway.

[scottman]

S14 should b cheaper then R33 cause it isn't a Import

yea i'm thinking the same way not sure to go Gts-t R33 bigger Clean car turbo i thinking about getting one

But i Love my Sr20's and am a die hard 4 fan but i Hate S14 look and am to poor for a S15 and i'm over my s13

Looking at 180sx maybe

have my Heart Set on Dream car Gtr r32 but there just outa my price Range and the Gts-t have Rb20s in them not Rb25

o the drama

I think i'll go with Gts-t R33 and save on the Side not modding it till i have Money for a GTR r32
