Ok last night i meet a guy with a Stock R32 GTR also, he checked out my car and said nice I/C. I thought and still think its a std I/C

BUT.....he is convinced mine is a 97 V-spec Cooler. Because it doesnt have the lines going through it. Can any one tell the difference, which comes to my next concern, someone told me i have a Tight rear LSD because at low speeds while turning it is jumpy. others say it is std.

Judd - I'm not sure if you can tell that if your car is jumpy it is due to the LSD. but then again I'm not an expert..

Also as far as I know I didn't think theres any difference at all between the regular GTR and Vspec intercoolers. I have a HyperRev that shows all the differences in the models between Series 1,2 and 3 GTR's and the Vspecs and it doesn't mention anything about coolers....

Hi Guys from what I can tell;

* the R33 GTR I/C has one more row of tubes than an R32 GTR I/C

* the tubes themselves are slightly bigger in diameter than an R32 GTR I/C

* there are visible weld joins on the tubes, that are either not there on an R32 GTR I/C or can't easily be seen.

I have not had an R32 and an R33 I/C together in the one place at the one time. It has been a couple of years since we had the R32 GTR I/C and I have just got an R33 GTR I/C and these are the things I remember as looking different.

What I can tell you for certain is, on the flow bench, the R33 GTR I/C flows about 5 to 8% more air at 500 bhp with 1.5 psi resistance. Turning that around, it flows the same amount of air with around 1 psi less resistance.

Hope that adds to the information bank.

Sydneykid,

Your car says R32 GTST RB31DET have you got a bored out 3litre block in your R32, must be a bit of a beast!!

and nismogtsx:

The R33 keeps the RB26DETT engine from the R32 GT-R. The power is still the same with an official 280hp (206kw) at 6800rpm, although inofficially it is ass-umed to be around 302hp. Increased peak turbo-boost of 0.84bar, an improved intercooler and changed computer control parameters make for a higher torque of 375Nm (271 lb-ft) at 4400rpm. As usual, power is deployed via the 5-speed Getrag gearbox and ATTESA-ETS to all four wheels.(from http://www.infinitig35.net/R33/GTR/index.php)

so sydneykid is right!!

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
