hey all,

I just sold up the last of my cars and am now in the market for a new car, however I can't decide between a few different ones and I am trying to organise a ride in each so I can determine which I prefer and hopefully narrow down the choice. So is there anyone on here that wouldn't mind taking me for a ride in a fairly stock r32 gtr and a fairly stock r33 gtr ??

I can be some-what difficult to meet up with due to work commitments but I am more than willing to go out of my way (and not put you out too much)....if someone could accomodate me in this, that would be great.

thanks....

Call it cautious. Especially after last weeks news story of that perp who organised a test drive via the internet and tryed on a carjack. Shame the perp couldn't drive a manual and got nabbed. Bahaha

Suggest you try Evo in Fyshwick and see what they have in stock if you dont get a response on here. It's been a fair while since you posted on SAU.

Not saying anything isnt on the up n up and maybe folk will volunteer.

Be cautious about place n time. Take a license b4 you show the keys. Wouldn't want a copy cat crime.

No offense meant.

I understand that fully, I am prolly one of the most trustworthy people your gonna find around, and as you said I am happy to give any form of ID that the person wants to see. I have had one offer from a bloke, but he is only available on friday nights which is a bit difficult for me atm. If anyone knows psymon you can ask him about me if your a bit cautious, he has known me for years.

And the only reason that I haven't posted on here for a while is that I don't own a skyline nor have I, hence don't have alot of comments to make in relation to the cars. All of my posts I think you will find have been in the for sale section, in relation to buying one.

Just try get a test drive in a R32 GTR, engine and power wise they are almost identical. The R33 was a fraction slower along the Qtr Mile due to a slightly heavier curb weight but after some minor mods it wont matter. In the end it comes down to which one tickles your tatsebuds. The R32 is more raw and racer like while the R33 is more roomier and refined, not to say both cant look incredibly mean. Just becareful if you go down the path of an R32 as alot of them have been thrashed and had a hard life, repairs can put a big hole in the bank account.

Good Luck

However me on the other hand.....lollerskates.

32GTR FTW!!!!!

I posted a thread a while ago asking if anyone will trust me with their 32GTR as I've never driven one and will be buying one and didn't get a response. I'm not perfect but I'm known as well as anyone here and no-one would let me.

*wipes awat a tear*

On a completely random note I just got my new black suede bride buckets today! only took them 9 months to arrive.

    • Not alot of room in the front or mid pipe to play with Helmholtz chambers, plus they are pretty hit and miss getting the length and volume right, and time is money when it comes to trial and error testing at a exhaust shop, it isn't like test fitting mufflers or resonators From previous experience with exhausts and trying to tone down the volume and eliminate some drone, a resonator in the mid pipe typically make it much better,  and even possibly stop Jackie complaining about it, me, I really don't notice it that much, but, I am pretty deaf 🤣
    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
