IMACUL8,

good to hear you're not disappointed with the change - that would really suck, spending a heap of dough, and (if you are like most) losing a couple of dollars selling the old ride.

I would certainly not take offence, I asked the question and wanted your honest opinion. I can only agree that the handling on the skylines can be a bit spongey - I have spent a few bucks sorting that out - just gotta piss off the hicas now and I'll be happy.

Don't you think you may miss a bit of power oversteer occasionally though?

Only thing that worries me a bit is 13.7 with 270rwhp - sure there isn't a bit of 'operator error' somewhere:p (sorry just couldn't help myself, it was too easy LOL)

Thanks for the honest reply

Steve

Steve ...

Dont get me wrong... i loved my R33 ... the lsd and the HUGE lsd burnouts i use to drop....Awesome..... It is a great car.....

The 13.7 I stated above... I did not actually run the car... but had same mods and tuning as guys like Hicks and others and the best time so far is about a 13.7 (on stock turbo)....

IMACUL8, I was only having a go in fun. BUT, I do think you are selling your old ride short, Macka has got high 12s with only 25(or 26)rwhp more than your line was running, and rev210 has run 13.8 with a zorst, pod and a bit of boost. (edit: and 100kg of paper in the boot, as he loves to point out - gotta get traction some how)

Bottom line, its good to hear your happy with your new ride, and good to hear objective comments about your new car - cheers and have a happy new year.

Steve

PS, hope santa was kind

Are rexs doing 12s on 1 bar of boosto stockie?

If so i didnt realise i thought they were more tricked up.

Plus the fact u were going on about an upgraded turbo as well

and once I put a vf22 (sti) turbo on it (which only cost $1400 as apossed to expensive garret

turbos for the nissan's).. my car will be easily into the 12's.........

I have also seen the spool up times on those STI turbos and they are bloody shocking i think the 450hp turbo something like over 4000pm full spool

Clint I was comparing my R33 against my rex..... and just stating about the turbo upgrade to get into the 12's...

Wasnt your time(12.9XX) done with you breaking or something???? Does that not make it a void pass???? I'm not sure so I'm just asking???????

Good work Dan. Im all for a change, and despite what a lot of people on here think, i think WRXs are a very nice car. Love the rumble from the boxer engine!

I almost bought one instead of my 33, only that it sold before i got the chance. Do you still have the plates from the 33 or did they stay on the 33?

Hope you have fun with it. I know of a few low 12sec WRXs around Perth, but yet to see any GTSTs running that quick.

Still given the money for a new wrx, id take a 33GTR every time :-)

Still have the plates Ben.. they will go on as soon as transfer car over.

break out or not that does not effect the et! as soon as he crosses from one beam to teh other is the et early or late.

Are you still chasing a white faced boost guage?

I never broke the line anyway I got a .250 reaction time and apparently it has to be at least .400 for a pass.

I think VSPECgtst asked an officail the other week and that time is acceptable altho the pass is fouled, i neither won or lost, The Torry that beat me got a red light tho!

Anyway who really cares ive accepted the fact skyzzer will only take my next best of 13.06 with 2.4 60ft time im sure i can better it.

Rexs dont have the power, all they have is 4WD
