3460 pounds = 1569.4296 kilograms

umm... Thats not exactly whale territory. :thumbsup:

When I drove an R33 it felt whaleish due to the lack of rear vision, it simply made it feel big.

BUT The R33 is a nicer looking car than the R32. My personal opinion, but as the saying goes some can't have their cake and eat it.

I required a nice little car for Uni that wasn't too expensive, the R32 fits that bill nicely. And its damn fun to drive with the rb30det. :banana:

LOL... I'm just trying to get more info and opinions on them.

but the above link is pretty much like finding an RB26dett powered ceffiro for like $7K.

It's auto and I think I'd be bored with something like that..

I don't know..

I mean my current car is a 4 door gts4 and weighs in at 1450kg apparently.

powered by an RB20det.

sure it's OK, but it is not exactly a rocket ship.

then again at this point in my life, do i want a rocket ship?

who knows..

but the whole toyota equivelant of nissan (kinda anyway), is interesting.

not one to do an engine conversion myself.

so what is a better buy?

1500 odd kg of soarer?

1350 odd kg of R33?

god only knows..

I think too much.. about stupid shit..

:O

better?

Shane,

Wheres the sheet then?

Funny thing is a 33 gtr with a few mods equalling less than a few grand would leave your sourer looking for a family to sit in it.

I quite like sourers but i will have to see a dyno slip before I beleive 500hp Im sorry.

My mates gtr 33 blows mosts cars off the road at the moment and that has a lot less than that. Yes thats including supras.

Hey put up a slip and ill eat my words.

since this i have gone to bosch coils and microtechs x6box ignition system.

it now makes 440 rwhp no gas, and with a 36 shot 510rwhp. it has now run 10.70 et at 129.98 mph.

its a cressida not a soarer. the thread was rb 25 vs 1jzgte, not gtr versus soarer. but ill take the pepsi challenge against this gtr you speak of. ill be at wsid on good friday racing in the street tyre shoot out with BUSTER and 2RISMO. will we see your mates GTR there?

the good old, my mates got.i get it all the time. what do you have?

and for the record, i couldnt give 2 shits if you believe i am making the power ross, my results speak for themselves.

better?

GTST

i ran 13.7 et 106 mph with that exact combo. sorry i had a 3.5 nch exhaust but the rest was the same.

thats cheap.

*prepares rosso's words on a nice plate, with knife and fork*

would you like any cracked pepper or a drink with that mate?

bahahahaha

eat up buddy..

doesn't get much more owned than that.

Shane - it's definitely a good buy.. but like I said, I'd get bored with an auto..

or would I?

I am getting old these days..

I just think that it is ridiculously cheap.

I would have thought a cressida of that vintage, in that condition, with leather interior alone would be in the $7K bracket.

let alone one that has had an engine conversion...

anyway, it would still be faster than my 1450kg gts4 with rb20 in it..

You want some salt and pepper for those words ross....the car is real and well known.....and a R33 GTR with a few mods equalling a few grand would not run an ET anywhere near this thing In fact I imagine it would be at least 1.5 seconds slower....hope you are hungry cause you have a heap of words to eat, and I hope you like the taste of your own bullshit

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
