  1. Been to the track in both HICAS and non HICAS skylines and I can honestly say that HICAS helps quite a bit in the corners allowing you to turn in just a bit more then the non hicas car.

    Anything under 30km/h HICAS does NOTHING, anything up to 80km/h turns the wheels the opposite way as the fronts allowing tighter cornering (calculates how much angle depending on steering wheel position and speed) after 80km/h it will turn the wheels the same way creating a dog leg effect that will give you more high speed stability.

    As long as you don't plan on drifting then HICAS is great.

  2. R32 GTE - RB20E - 130 ps (96 kW) - 181 N·m (18,5 kgf·m)

    R32 GTS - RB20DE - 160bhp (114 kW) - 186 N·m (19 kgf·m)

    R32 GTS25 - RB25DE - 190 bhp (140 kW) - 255 N·m (26.0 kgf·m)

    R33 GTS - RB20E - 130 ps (96 kW) - 181 N·m (18,5 kgf·m)

    R33 GTS25 - RB25DE - 200 bhp (147 kW) (with VCT) - 255 N·m (26.0 kgf·m)

    R33 GTS-4 - RB25DE - 200 bhp (147 kW) (with VCT) - 255 N·m (26.0 kgf·m)

    The R32 is a bit lighter, and I know first hand that it handles great, we don't have R33's here yet so I can't really compare. I know the R32 GTS is still a sporty car, doesn't have the kick of the GTS-t but then I guess thats the point of a first car.

  3. yeah driving an R32 GTSt (moreso an R32 GTS4) and an R32 GTR from the inside feels quite similar... if anything the GTR's a little nose heavy and goes a little quicker. The AWD isn't *that* noticeable in an R32, so driving the GTR isn't that big a leap in control, only power.

    But when you go to the R33, the difference between an R33 GTSt and and R33 GTR is immense. It hugs the road better, isn't as twitchy as a GTSt and best of all its actually carries its weight well. The R33 GTSt is a great passenger car, but not a great sports car. The R33 GTR is a great sports car.

    Heh the GTS-4 is a bit of a pig compared to the R32 GTS-t and GTR, weight of a GTR and power of a GTS-t. You should post up a thread here and on GTRCanada of your car. I can't say that I've even seen it. :P

  4. Well I would never trade in a RB for a SR ever, the RB has soooo much more potential and is far more reliable.

    The only reason I would go from a GTS25t to a GTR would be the 4WD but if you like RWD keep the GTS25t the RB25 is capable of the same numbers as an RB26.

    I'm not sure if you have the same car in australia, but here we have a Pontiac Gran-Am (GM car like Holden) and the S15 has the same rear tail lights, the back end of the s15 is hideous, the front is very aggressive though.

  5. Hey man nice to see another GTRCer around the boards, if you import a clean R33 when the time comes you will be happy. :bunny:

    R33 4 doors are awsome, I think I will add it to my 4 door collection.

  6. The 3000gt will get you to that power the easiest and cheapest, but that car is a pig, at just under 4000 pounds I would look elsewhere.

    The Evo and the Sti are both great but I'm not a fan of fulltime 4wd, as well the sti has trouble keeping transfer cases at those power levels.

    I mean your on a skyline board and I am a little biased, but to me the choice is either R32 or R33 GTR, the 33 being newer, but a little heavier.

    You could debate all you want about which model R32,R33,R34 is best but in the end preference and budget come into play.

    Good luck on which ever you choose. :P
