I already have an R33 gtst but am looking for something a little bit cheaper and a bit less to insure.

I'll probably be able to get 15-16k for my line so I don't want to spend over that.

I have looked at this pricerange for a while now and the pulsar gtiR is the only car i'm really even considering. I was wondering if anyone else had gone from an R33 to a GTiR and what were your experiences?

I've never got into taking my car to the strip or circuit racing so the r33 is a bit of a waste on me. I just want a quick car that I can use as a daily driver.

Anyone done this ?

Cheers,

I went from a 251rwkws R32 to a Gtir, they're awesome cars!! Love them to bits!!!

I got quoted 2.7k a year, insured for only 15k and a 2.5k excess because of rims, and my age. I have a perfect driving history.

P.S Im 19.

how quick is a stock GTiR though? I'm not to concerned about running costs as long as it's not off the planet on fuel and servicing. I think I just want a change and would be happy with a gtir. I will have to look into insurance though, if it's that much more I'll be giving it a miss for sure.

Might try to take one for a test drive in the future.

Mazda Familia GTR (not GTX) > gtir and cheaper..

Pity it looks like a POS.

hmm, It's hard to get a test drive down here in tas as there aren;t that many floating about.

I think I'll check out the insurance costs on Monday before I decide to find a test drive.

Cheers

i wanted to get one instead of 32 but i heard they like to understeer but they sound like a bit of a machine and there cheap as chips in buying price terms!

I chose a reasonably stock gti-r over my 251rwkw R32 with RB25 conversion and every other goodie on the planet!!

Says something?

I think so :(

They do unersteer stock, but with a few k on handling, she'll be handling like a dream.

Was wondering how long it would take for someone to bring up the understeer problem...

Ditto. The stock GTiR is a pretty one dimensional handler. Although I can't comment too much as I am not allowed to drive my mates GTiR (bastard!).

Personally I would change the TMIC to a FMIC and sell that awful looking bonnet scoop!

hmmm, waiting for an insurance quote to come back on a stock one.

I've also been looking at Toyota Celsiors. I actually kinda like them and from what I've read from reviews and user comments the engines are bullet proof, aren't exactly a slouch and are pretty economical.

They are bloody cheap too, might have to find out how the insurance is.

WOW....

They're pretty dirfferent cars, going from a 33 gts-t, to a gti-r to a Celsior.

A celsior is like a calais.. They are nice cars :angry: (gotta love the option of the rear seats electric massages)

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
