So I sold my Stagea drifter and bought a beater R33.

Here's how it looked a week ago:

Plans are to paint the P1's the grey 2 tone colour, run 16/17 stagger with rim to guard on le rear. I've got a nice subtle kit coming together and a few other things. Mainly just setup to be a basic street/drift car.

Ill be really honest, the two dont even compare to each other even driving around the streets.

The GTR just feels so much more rugged, sports car orientated. Poor turning circle, sit low, and harsh ride, feels so much wider etc

And as soon as you give it some stick, and corning the gap widens greatly!

The GTST feels more like a everyday car that is sporty if that makes sense.

Sit higher, easier to cruise around in, more comfy etc.

Still love driving around in both tho! would never swap either for a holden or ford!! lol

Hahaha good on you. Wow I wouldn't have guessed that. How about the evo 7 compared to the gtr? I'm guessing the 33 wins out if you have that now and sold the lancer? ;)

I only ask because I'm considering getting an evo 7/8 as my next car and when I was younger all the SPEED magazines and Best Motoring videos compared the evo 7 to the r34 gtr. So I gather it must be good. :)

Loved the Evo 7! LOVED it! Very practical as my daily, having 4 doors and never seemed to get pulled over in it. Comfortable, clean, easy to drive...

Easier to find a good nic Evo 7/8 then it is to find a decent 32/33 GTR.

I just missed the rugged feeling of the GTR over the Evo. Loved the straight line speed, of the GTR and the overall feel of it. But kw for kw the evo would have smashed the gtr if the road was stupidly twistie but apart from that GTR hands down for me.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
