When I was buying my recent car I drove more GTS-T's and GTR's then you can poke a stick at.

I say go GTR if you want a car that feels like 100% proof Alcohol

Get a GTS-T if you want to drink milk.

Becouse a GTS-T really is milk compaired to a GTR.

I was comparing a R32 GTR to a R33 GTS-T.

Just thought this was relevent.

I would have a 33 or 34 GTR in a minute if one was dropped in my lap for a reasonable price and was in good to great condition.

I am leaning a lot more on the GTST side now , as I can do a lot of work myself and do bits every now and then. Because at the end of the day I want a unique looking (you will know what I mean if you saw my last R33) well built , strong, reliable and something I can slide around in as well. Have decided I am going to paint it the Light pearl blue from the ford XR6/8 (A lighter version of my R33) I want about 200-225rwkw with a lot of suspention work as I love going down to the track.

I just don't know. I've driven both a lightly modded R32 GTR and a highly modded GTS-T and for the get-off-the-line-holy-crap, you can't go past a GTR. BUT!!! The GTS-T was only 1 second behind the GTR on the National Circuit at QR, same driver. For the dollars and fun factor, I would go a GTS-T (RB25 only though)

Also, a lot of the GTR owners I know are not game to launch hard because they are frightened of breaking something.

It all comes down to clutch, i couldnt launch with my old clutch, in went a new Nismo twin plate - and it launches perfectly now (see sig) :wave:

No one said GTRs cant launch...Dave was just saying that many who own them are afarid to lauch and break stuff....and to be honest unless they are launched they arent that fast

WELL when I do my convertion I will be looking closely at a different gaer box, as my cluth will be fine as I just put in a Exedy HD 5 puk clutch in. and I want about 225kw out of the RB25 so I will have to think about if a standard gearbox will like that to much. What parts break in stock gearbox's and can I just get it re-built and strenghend before I chuck it on.

The gearbox in the R33 GTS-T is pretty strong. I've got around the rwkw numbers you are talking and I have had probably 30 trips down the strip and 100+ laps of QR and the gearbox is fantastic (actually gets better the hotter it gets.) So I wouldn't spend money on it until you manage to break it!!

Yeah you can use the same clutch. I bought a decent clutch, but skimped on the gearbox for now.

Mine will be about 230rwkw when I can afford to buy an EBC and get the PowerFC tuned. That's about as far as I am taking it (so I say now)

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
