the reason why u dont see 32's on the road is because there too good to be driven everyday. if they were driven everyday theyd be like the r33, common and un-special :(

the only reason why i like 32's dayne is cause they crap all over 33's any day :lol:

you say 32 owners hide, i saw 2 r32's at summernats both GTR's, Both fine as. i saw one 33 and that was gtst. if there so embarrased then why would they rock up to a muscle car event? :rofl::):P :P

.....?

What are YOU up to?

Bluprint,

Its a secret :unsure: I need more power.

Anyhow, as we all know R32's are lighter, more nimble, and certainly faster than the fat old 33. Mind you, the 33's extra tourque and comfort make up for....... well nothing really.

The r32 may be cheaper than the 33, and feels like twice the bargan. Amazing!

Anyhow who wants to argue the point is more than welcome to line me up :D

Besides, we are all just sad we don't have R34 GTR VSpec II's sitting around in bayside blue. Maybe with a HKS 2.8 in it..... *goes to find a tissue*

oscar ill give you a run, mine is still stock turbo and i only managed a 13.4 on street tyres, i have done some more little exst mods since, plus next run i want slicks... I vote 33

32 lighter hey by what 100kg maybe 50kg how does an r33 with only 1260 sound to you....... lets run

R32's are OK, its good to see old cars that are looked after by their senile owners.

R33's are better, they fixed up all the mistakes they made with the 32.

1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to get ready and 4 to go..................

And that is about the truth until the ?R35? appears [if ever].

a point that hasnt been raised yet is that milk and juice only comes in 2 litres!!! :P

lets face it, if you want to pretend that you own a sports/performance car, buy an R32 or a Remote Control car! i know which would go quicker..... (the RC!!!) :(:):)

I drive a 32 and proud of it!

I aint embarrased to drive one at all. Ill take it everywhere and anywhere... (besides dirt)

And someone mentioned taht 32's are cheaper than 33's

Funny that, when i was buying mine, 32's were goin for more than 33's.

32's may hava an older shape.. but the 33's are to round.. like a lil bubble.. haha bubble..

yea.. i vote 32's.. there just a tougher car.

13.4 is a pretty good time on a stocker turbo! I'd be happy with that. If the cars were fully Stocker versus stocker I'd back the R32 though.

I havn't seen Tridents beast since all those juicy parts when in, I imagine that it'd go just fine...

MMMM Mira goodness. Oh yeah, 3 cylinder 650cc love baby :( Love it, 155 tyres, sexy faded paint, clutch squeals in each gear.

Frink!! Only really nasty, cheap old recycled juice comes in 2.5 litres, so there!!!!

Once mods come in, I'll back the car with the most money spent , or spent clever. Mods kinda change the whole thing. :) Besdies, is going fast the only part of the car being "better".

For looks, the 32 is classic, elegant, well thought out. The R33 looks like it needs a diet and some refining - say refinment all the way to a 34...

No one is arguing that a bit of capcity is a good thing, that said - boost is more important :)

MMMMM Tomei 2.4 stroker mmmmm.

2.8 hks..... *more tissues for me*

I really like the look of the R32’s and stock for stock I think they look maybe a little nicer than an R33 (although my opinion sways on this from time to time). However even with the simplest kits the R33’s seem to look nicer than both kitted or non-kitted R32’s IMO. Because of this the R33 is the choice for me, as with only a little bit of external modifications up they look amazing! Just my 2c :(

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
