jason, just put an aftermarket front bar on it if you want to make it 'angry' so to speak. your car looks very nice as it is mate, love the height and well as how the wheels sets of the entire appearance of the car.

I'd have got a R33 if they weren't $30,000 when I got my R32

The $10,000 dollar differance was they clinching factor for me

I'd swap my 32 for a 33 any day, even with around 200rwkw, I like the feel of a R33, feels more solid and has that big car pressence on the road

R32's interior is dated now while R33 still looks pretty good

either one is going to cost you a shitload if you want to go quicker than stock

Reckon you shouldn't rule out the R33 GTS25T 4dr Sedan, it's a solid option as well. You might find one that comes close to your budget, there aren't as many around, they look great and go as well as anything else around.

Mine came with some wierd ass side skirts and a Nismo style rear spoiler but I'm personally not fussed about the S1 front bar. I actually think that it looks quite alright, even better with the centre section cut out to show off your FMIC (must get around to that one day). And the added bonus, no ground clearance problems like the bigger bars.

Tastefully lowered with a nice set of rims finishes them off nicely.

Plus they don't tend to attract as much of the "wrong" kind of attention!! :(

Good luck with your decision......but I don't reckon you'd be disappointed regardless of which model 'line you end up choosing.

:D

i have a s1, they are gay from the front but for the extra cash is it really woth it?, as it is pretty much the only difference between the two.

you can make it angry! :P

Main diff is the headlights n bonnet between the s1 n 2. but making a S1 look tough can be done by a vented bonnet n 400r front bar :)

yer, maybe s2 vented bonnet s2 hedlights and s2 400r front bar!!

altho there is those eyelid things for s1 33... :D

its an addiction, there are so many differenent things you can do to improve these cars!

I agree.

Drop RB30DETs in them with a nice set of 264cams, gt3540 .82, 3.5" exhaust and have 20-22psi by ~3500rpm, maybe a shade over.. :blink:

or.. If you really want it to rev its nuts off and make 400rwkw...

RB30DET, forged rods/pistons, ati balancer, 272 cams, gt3540 1.06, 4" exhaust and dial in hrmm maybe 26psi, that should be in by a 4000rpm or a shade over and rev nicely to 7.5-8k.

Nice to dream.

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
