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 :(

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
