hey guys just after some opinions.. recently blown my turbos gna get that fixed soon but was going to do quite a few things as well in the process. basically atm its got catback exhaust, hiflow cat, os giken twin plate, air filter, suspension & mines ecu. i was gna get injectors/afm/fuel pump/pfc/dumps/cams and suspension/brake work as well in the process of replacing the turbos (hks 2530s/hi flow/gt-ss)... but that will cost me quite abit especially labour work! so came to my mind maybe i shoudl jus fix the turbos (replace with stockies or a cheap alternative) and then sell my car get a R33 gtr?

your thoughts?. the only reason why i hessitate is i've put alot of effort into fixing up the 32 and maintaining it and i dont really wana have to start modding again from a stocker and the fact that 32 GTR's arnt worth that much anymore. ill be pulling out a small loan regardless of whether i build the 32 or get a 33. i mean theres nothing wrong with my 32 other then obviously the blown turbos.. its pretty much given me a hassle free experience owning it. also for those who have taken the step to a 33 is there much differnce for the price? (from prices r32 gtr's are selling ill probaly have to add about 8k)

so help me decide!

My personal choice would be to keep the R32 - you know the history of the car and exactly what's wrong with it. Buying a new car might bring on a new set of problems. Modifying the R33 isn't going to be any cheaper than modifying the R32. And as far as your R32 not being worth much anymore, at least it doesn't have too far left to fall, whereas the R33 will likely depreciate another $10,000 or so over the next few years...

Of course the third alternative is to fix your R32 up and buy an already modified R32 - with the mods already done you're definitely going to save on labour!

    • 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 🍻
