As I have never driven an R32 GTR and Im considering getting one soon I was just curious to get everyones opinion on how different the altessa feels compared to the 33R (which i previously owned).

on road is the altessa noticably slower on the 32, for example is the car harder to launch due to excessive wheelspin and is it easier to get it sideways. I remember that on my 33 I would get a bit of spin in the rears and then the fronts would pick up quickly, how do they compare?

I understand that on paper the altessa is considerably slower on the 32 although i would love to get peoples opinions who have driven or owned both.

I have the 93 vspec R32 GTR, which shares the same altessa with the 33, dont know how different it would feel, just get a good clutch! and u will launch well

    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.

    • Isn't there a PAR engineering gearset that has closer to stock ratios? And they claim they'll do whatever ratios you want.
