and the other is for me for i dont realy care on the power but i dont mind the kick.

iam after r33's but not sure on the years.

is there any skyline r33s with turbo that a p plater can drive in victoria?

is it better to buy off a car dealer in australia were i can test it out etc. or import them througth a company?

.iam very mix up on which is best to spend more and have less worries or the cheaper way?

i have been trying to do the research and i been greating just crap in information and verations of r33s

and that the r32s are better

thanks guys

lbfalcon maybee you should come to Victoria before you start throwing the laws around. That law wont be in place till next year and after the NSW Death Toll on P plater Drivers theres a chance it may never come in... but for now you can drive turbo cars in Victoria the only problem is Power to weight ratio.

P platers can drive R32, R33 not sure about R34 though having 206kw.. but i have seen a fair few P platers driving them around.

sweet thanks

it saves my little bro getting the car inpounded

so i will buy stock for him

thanks guys

a stock R33 is over the power to weight limit. therefor a p-plater in victoria cannot drive one legally. end of story.

You might want to read his post properly before you tell him not to 'throw laws around'.

He is 100% spot on. NO factory turbo R33 can be driven by a victorian p-plater. They are over the power to weight limit. period.

i think i will just buy him a stock none turbo to save him getting pulled over all the time

but he can allways put one on later any way

it will be safer for him any way

thanks

R32 turbo's are legal to drive on P's as far as I know but still wouldnt be reccomended as a first car.

Don't by a non-turbo expecting to turbocharge it later, you'l regret it. Better to sell it and buy a turbo model.

lbfalcon is correct. R33's are over the power to weight ratio. I was pulled over for it when I was on my P's.

if your getting a R33 get a Series 2, have ABS and air bag..plus more importantly looks more modern....

try going for 40th aniversary model and Ho...forgot to tell you, if you follow the skyline scene the R33 value has plummeted......i mean gone down like mad.......so great time to buy....

got GTST S2 for 16500 (4 months ago).....and love it...

:(

i think the r33 is a much better GT car than the R32 and silvia.

some one sent me a pm about buying and told me to go for the 1996 models

i dont mind the R32's but i rather a new car because i'm driving a '90 EA falcon S pack atm

but i pre had a VL witch was a dream untill it blowen up on the freeway

ps i wasn't speeding lol dam lemon

made grate juice stanes on the road tho :(

but i'm not sure what R33 i want

eg... turbo, non turbo...

btw do the R33 come with semi/automatic?

ABS is an option....its not standard on S2's

you may wanna learn your laws before you try correct him also...

R33's are ILLEGAL to drive. the p platers you see driving them, are driving them ILLEGALLY.

The R33s are newer = better.

The only reason why some consider R32 better is cos they are smaller (crappier too ;)) car :bunny:

comments like these shit me and the amount of slurs coming from r33 owners on this forum suprises me.

Not everyone wants to follow the crowd like a tool and buy the cheapest S1 burgandy r33. :O

A big mystery as to why the r33 are dropping price ;)

r33's are illegal for p-platers but they still tend to drive them. Although with the new p-plate laws next year the cops may get more strict on the power/weight law.

I suggest to look into an r32 if he would like to be legal.

Well maintained r32's have been floating around 13-15k dollar value for many years and havent had any major decline as of yet.

Good luck in your search :(

how is your comment any better than his?

The amount of R33 bashing from R32 owners on this site is the real joke.

But how dare the R33 owners argue back and defend their choice of car... ;)

fair enough i lashed out cause im sick of hearing all the slander towards the r32's

If the r33's would want to argue at least put some evidence as to why they are crap. I wouldnt have over-reacted if the poster at least stated his reason as to why.

The original poster seems to be now deciding over both models and a comment like that wouldnt be helping. So why dont i post a comment worth the exact value as the slander in regards to the r32

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
