The 32 GTS-4 weighs ALOT more than the 32 GTSt.... specs I have indicate the difference is as much as 130kg. Even if thats exaggerated and the difference is only 50kg.... its still alot.

The GTS-4 might be alot rarer, but the GTSt is no doubt the quicker.

PS: who cares whether a 32 or 33 is better, theyre all good!

This is one of those arguments that goes around every so often.

And it's because none of use can afford the R34 M-Spec Nur II we really want.

I don't think weight is such a great issue. I just had my car weighed and it was 1,380kg on the dot just as the shipping company said. I suspect there has been some lightening work somewhere as this is not normal as it is pretty well loaded.

My goal is 245kW at the crank, maybe 200rwkW. This is the 330hp that the BMW M3 can do at the crank.

I'm pretty sure this is available with the OEM ceramic turbo. But what it came down to is what I could afford, what I wanted without going overboard in engine mods and what I felt was attractive. I like the last of the '95 Series 1 Skylines...

By the same token I like the r33 GT-R V-Spec II and this is ultimately what I want even though I may be able to afford an r34... I just like the way the "33" looks.

Inanst. What I mean is when the ECU is left stock.

Fit a FMIC to a Stock ecu R33 and you will notice an improvement over the stock ecu running 11psi or what ever.

Do the same to a R32 and you won't seem to pick up much power compared to the R33.

GTS4 is slower stock for stock, and perhaps with minor mods.

Once you get into big mods ie a bigger turbo etc it will be quicker in a straight line with the added benefit of traction.

For instance kabab did a 60 footer of 2.1 sec in his R32 GTSt with exhaust/boost on a 14.2 sec run... I dont see a GTS4 pulling any quicker than that with the extra weight... maybe a 2.0 or 1.9 sec 60 footer is possible.. but MPH will be down

davidpandev that is true in theory but it isn't quick enough to make a difference.

I've sat next to a R33 GTR with a 5000rpm launch with my 2wd (I launched at 4000rpm).

I ended up in front all the way through to 4th where we backed off.

All comes down to tyres, road surface and grip. If it spins buy better tyres. That is whatsisnames motto I guess. 257rwkw.

A GTS4 with exhaust stock IC and 12psi wouldn't hang in front of a GTR.

At the time that is what I was running 12psi, fuel pressure reg bleed kit, exhaust and stock IC and making 152rwkw.

Speaking of R32 and R33 GTSTs does anybody know the factory performance figures (0-100km/h and 0-400m) for these cars when stock and what sort of power they have at the wheels???

Just interested to know what i have to start with...

Additionally, what sort of gain to FMIC give power wise??

I saw a site that had factory specs.

Apparently the R33 is 6.2 0-100 and 14.2.

I can't remember the 0-100 for the R32 but the 1/4 is 14.3.

For the GTST that is. The GTS4 R32 is slightly slower.

With regards to a FMIC giving you free power on a R32 it wont.

R33 for some reason yes don't know why but R32 no. :D

The only difference you will notice is better performance when hammering it through the hills. I used to notice the car get slightly slower as the stock IC got heatsoaked I guess.

It also allows you to run more boost so i guess it does give you more power in a way.

I'm running 16psi on the stock turbo and have been now for some time without problems.

If its a gtr then out of r32/33 id go r32.

Comparing gtst I would go r33 over 32.

Comparing an r32 GTR with an r34GTT? For a similar amount of money I chose the r34. IMO, a much nicer place to be inside the cabin, more modern, newer car, less kms for $, [yes i know mark skaife has one with less than 15,000kms on the clock but how much would it cost?]. It is a nicer / smoother drive, very similar power from the factory and its not a 10 year old car [i already had a 10 yo and i wanted something much newer].

If money wasnt an issue then give me the NUR spec :(

    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!
