Not quite true... There were some improvements from the R32 to R33 evolution, especially in the ATTESA (4WD) system. The ATESSA-ETS in the R32 model updated it's information 4 times per second. The ATESSA-ETS in the R33 base model updated 20 times per second, and the ATESSA-ETS PRO system in the R33 GTR V-Spec updated 1000 times per second. Also, the ATESSA-ETS PRO system in the V-Spec came with an "Active-LSD" in the rear, that proportioned torque electronically laterally between the two rear wheels, as well as longitudinally between the front and rear wheels. In the R32 GTR and base R33 GTR, the ATESSA system only controlled torque split longitudinally between the front and rear. Another difference is the brakes. The majority of R32 GTRs used Sumitomo-brand 4-piston brakes. These came with 296mm x 32mm brake rotors. The very rare R32 GTR V-Spec 2 and the entire R33 GTR range were blessed with the famous Italian BREMBO 4-piston calipers and rotors measuring a considerably larger 324mm x 30mm. Thus, the braking system was VASTLY improved on the R33 GTR range. People who claim that the R32 GTR is a better car are usually people who have never driven both the R32 and R33 GTRs, and are just dreamers who love talking about cars they've never owned. They spend their time quoting other people's opinions on the matter verbatim and pass it off as their own. They're just sheep. Don't listen to them. The R33 GTR is between 30-60kgs heavier than the R32 GTR, depending on spec levels. With improved suspension geometry in the R33 GTR, this weight gain is negligible, and hardly noticeable unless you drive both cars back-to-back. Here are links to the specifications of all three models of GTR: http://www.gtr.co.uk/html/technical/r32.asp http://www.gtr.co.uk/html/technical/r33.asp http://www.gtr.co.uk/html/technical/r34.asp Good luck with the assignment.

Scotsman: Check http://www.greenline.jp for prices. The EDFC Controller is electronic, yes... You place 4 servos on top of the coilover strut and the in-cabin controller activates these servos to adjust the damping.

Amaru: Can't get your oil temps above 90?!?! That's almost SHAMEFUL!!!! :Oops:

I guess I'm going to have to find a second hand one then

They are indeed height adjustable, and if you want to pay for a flight upto Sydney I'm more than happy to take you for a ride... I also have the EDFC Controller so I can control the damping rates in-cabin , which makes it extremely easy to adjust according to road conditions. There are 32 or 16 adjustment points (user selectable) and I've found 16 adjustment points to be MORE than sufficient. (Basically it just sets the EDFC to use every second adjustment point)

So current draw is linked directly to flow capacity of the pump?? Interesting!

Thanks buddy

Anyway, here's a recap: Leewah: hahaha... How much correction factor did you use to get that figure?? Merli: Correction factor??? Ummmmm............... All of it? :devfu: :devfu: :devfu: :devfu:

TEIN FLEX coilovers > *.suspension for street and casual track work. On their softest setting, they're just like standard V-Spec suspension. AWESOME for comfortable street driving. On their hardest setting, you'll need new kidneys if you drive down the length of Parramatta Rd

oi. I'm entitled to my opinion, and it's my opinion that those Autostyle cars and their engines are wasted if their owners don't race them.... Don't agree? Fine, more power to you....... But they sure seem to love having a drag on the street and public roads (I've had a certain Autostyle owner try to drag me down George St ), so don't feed me that "they're worried about their gearbox" shit Anyway............ you'd think a $100k car would come with an upgraded gearbox wouldn't you?

Actually.................. no. The term "rice" evolved from the term "riceboy" which was coined by an American High-school kid who was bored in class and sick to death of all the lame modifications his classmates were doing to their Civics, making them LOOK fast, as opposed to actually making them GO fast. He started it all with a hand-drawn comic strip called "The Adventures of Rice-Boy and his dog Mugen". It can still be seen here: http://www.riceboypage.com/ Definition of "Rice": http://www.riceboypage.com/what_is_riceboy/

Thanks a bunch Steve, you're a legend!

Correction factor??? I dunno........... All of it? Have I ruined this thread yet? And leewah, HKS have apparently stopped making HKS ETCs for R33 GTR, so I'm gonna need my one back... If you could just drop it in the mail at your convenience.......... Yeeeeeeah.... that'd be greeeeeeeeeat

What correction factor??? Ummmm I dunno.......... All of it? :P :devfu: :devfu: :devfu: :devfu:

THOSE ARE THE ONES I WANT!!!! The ones on your BOV return pipe!!! I'm off to Pirtek now, and if they don't have them, would it be possible for you to order me a bunch if I gave you the measurements of my silicone hosing?

Ahhhhhhhhh I get you now Geez, I must have woken up on the "slow" side of the bed this morning... And that's my car... Notice the plates on that dyno sheet?> YSX-116, they're my old RTA-issue plates that came with my car when I bought it http://photos.fortheboyz.com/cars/GTR/index.php Are you confused yet? :P

Oh that hasn't been digitally edited at all, except for resizing in photoshop. Here's proof

bump bump bump

Steve: Any chance of you taking a photo of your clamps for me?

Hmmmm... perhaps we need a members page with photos and bios Just like all those ricer "racing team" websites like...................... Team Evade This is me: http://photos.fortheboyz.com/0401niki/imag...es/DSC05215.jpg And I'll be going around taking photographs all day, or sleeping in my car (Midnight Purple R33 GTR)...

:P :D

Thanks heaps for the replies guys... I'm headed to Pirtek in Mascot (literally in Sydney Airport), so I'm hoping they have hose clamps that will suit me... If not, I'll try the other options listed above... Those ones pictured from GCG don't look strong enough... I'm talking about the REAL big mother bitches, like an inch-wide metal band and big-ass bolt going through it :P

There's a 400R badge? :confused:
