And this 32 vs 33 thing, we are really talking about the classic Elle McPherson vs Sophie Hawkins aren't we??

I mean Elle was damn good, still is OK, but she can't stay that way forever.......so along comes Sophie to continue the good work.

I can see parallels here.

sophie? dont u mean jennifer?

When you do get the chance to drive a GTR (properly) Leigh, you will realise why they are so much more appreciated than the GTST, I have driven a very serious R32 GTR before and since then I have lusted after one ever since (particularly an R32 GTR Vspec2... Hmmmm I wonder who has one of those?) but I simply cannot afford one, let alone the insurance price tag, but ONE DAY! I will have one!

Jayce..... If you happen to die of "natural" causes can I have your car pretty please? You know Ill take good care of it! :P

ive driven an r33 gtr vspec n got quite bored of it. only thing worthy of noting was launching. didnt get 2 try out cornering it on the edge but it was enough for me.

Ya missed out,Kam'! One of life's genuinely religious experiences...

Oh,by the way-the Owl thing-WTF?? There's gotta be a funny story behind THAT,surely?!?

R32 [ 42 ] [56.00%]

R33 [ 33 ] [44.00%]

After I voted.

This is a silly conversation, the r33 was created in error much like the 2001 WRX... both pretty but wrong. The original WRX was a cult car like the CRX before it, even now it is appreciated more than its younger brother the 2001. Its much the same for the 32s and 33s, I had a guy just the other day come ask me if mine was a r34, ok he was out of the game but new a 34 was a newish car, surely no one would mistake a so called "aged" car for a new one, put simply they have aged very gracfully, as for looking better with a kit, yes the r33s look better with a kit much like a prossy with heaps of make up. You still dont want to wake next to it!

Looking at stat's, Jayce has clearly shown that the r32 GTR was the quickest and most known of the Skyline race, but lets also look at how many r33s you your self know that have been crashed. I can count close to 9 and I only know 1-2 r32s, Driver you may say, but these are a japanese family car = more crahing- bad design I say...

I would say my preference would be

- R34 GTR

- R32 GTR

- R33 GTR

- R32 Gtst

- R34 Gtst

- 2001 WRX

- R33 Gtst

hehehe

* the opionions in this post are mine and mine alone, no offence was intended to anyone (excpet R33 Gtst drivers, who claim on R32 GTR popularity).

your welcome... :)

All quiet on this topic...Looks like the 32 takes the prize,yes?!?

just because there are alot more poor people out there who cant afford 33's they figure they had better vote 32's as they may have a chance of being able to afford one :D

*starts up a fire and runs and hides*

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
