Ok i have just had a ride in an R33 GTS-T and to be quite honest i am dissapointed. My mates SR20DET S13 Silvia with a cat back exhaust felt much quicker. Now i was aiming for an R33 GTS-T Series 2, but after the ride in the stock standard GTS-T my mind may have been changed. I am now thinking of an SR20DET 180sx type - x or a Pulsar GTi-R. Althought the skyline had a much better interior and more supportive seats, thats the only plus i can see of getting a skyline. What do you guys reckon would be the long term better buy???

What have you guys got your skylines upto with simple mods?? Would it be a much better longterm choice to get the skyline since it is of a higher build quality??? Just need a little help in deciding???

omg...

exhaust... boost... pod and maybe a tune should see u into 180rw and low 14s high 13s as seen down here in victoria with a few of the regulars.

EDIT**

but then again... id rather have a 32 :) but thats just me.

i get bagged for it all the time cause im out numbered.... but thats a good thing :)

Weetbix,

I drove a stock standard R33 GTS-t last week, and I must say it

wasn't anything special. I was very supprised on how much power it lacked actually.

But it's in comparison to mine which has a few mods like pod, CAI, turbo back 3 inch, bleed at 12psi, FMIC, clutch etc...

I think what's I'm trying to say is that they respond very good to simple mods like an exhaust and a bleed valve.

If we ever meet up I'll take you for a spin (I'm in Canberra too) and you'll be able to compare.

Cheers

J

I don't think R33 are prone to "fishtailing", but when i dump the clutch at anything over 4K the ass end always kicks to the left. This is predictable, and anyone who knows their car can controll this and keep it staight.

The other night i had a P plater in a integra type R trying to show off in front of me. He booted it, so i followed, but when he turned off the car was in a fishtail and kissed the curb. I too turned off (on the way home) but once i saw that he couldn't drive for 5h1t, i backed off and gave him plenty of room.

HOW THE FARQ CAN SOMEONE FISHTAIL A FWD CAR IN THE DRY!!

I was hoping thats what everyone would say.....the skyline being quicker that is. So i think im going to stick with getting my R33GTS-T SII when the time comes.

Jay95R33 - I'll take you up on that offer if we meet up at some time. Which side of canberra you on?? Cause I'm on North side and dont see many silver R33's up here. I did however see one a while ago which had an SDU sticker on the back, was that you by any chance???

and

Duncan - I'll keep my eye out for the next track day you guys have. I've been to a couple of them at wakefield, some of the people here were prob there.

Cheers

Skyline R33 gts-t definitely isn't slow... quicker than most things on the roads you're likely to come across. Just needs a few mods and you can get it to around 160 - 190rwkw (approx 230kw fly in case your wondering). Now considering around 230kw in "spec" talk in a ~1350kg car is faster than most things that comes out of the factory short of 100k. And all those clubsports and things, aren't running a "real" 250kw either - race one and you'll see :D

Like a few people have already said, smaller cars and 4cylinders can often seem faster than they actually are because they are screaming for the power.. the skyline its pretty effortless.

Yepp, no worries dude. I'm a southsider but Civic isn't too far away :D Let me know if you want to go for a quick spin before you buy one just so you can see what they can do with simple mods.

Might not have been me cause I've still got my SDU sticker on the back (jay runs and hides....) :)

I would go the Skyline unless funds are going to be tight. For the same amount of money spent (including purchase of the car plus some mods) the 180/200sx is probably going to be a tad faster. Don't forget they've got a 100kg+ weight advantage too!

But if you want a "nicer" more refined car with more potential, then stick with the 'line.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
