Went Car Shopping, Need Some Opinions...

[sinistaGTR]

hmm lets see over 300rwkw from an rb20 lol without an an rb30 upgrade, but really i think this guy has to decide what car he likes the shape of etc, then what his power goals are......

[Cubes]

I wouldn't exactly call a R33 tall geared either, considering it's doing nearly 3 grand at 100 in fifth (I'd love a 6th gear), it still runs a 4.11 diff & can barely hit 60 in first gear & 100 in second before smaking the limiter, surely a 32 isn't geared shorter than that.

The r32's are geared noticeably shorter. Well It was noticeable to myself.

Diff ratio's.. As You said R33's 4.11's... R32 4.36.

All in all.. The R33 is a better bet. Its fairly cheap to whack a jap exhaust on, cheap fmic and powerfc. The R32's then don't stand a chance.

Driving experience.. I'd still have to say the R32's do feel zippier and more neutral punching them through the corners.

Looks.. R33. R32's are beginning to look a touch old. Just a touch.. lol

I am talking about the GTST. 32 GTR's in my eye's still have that tough jap muscle car look.

During compliance the 32's have to have side intrusion bars fitted. I know mines got them, great big dirty bar of metal that fills almost the complete side of the door.

Ahhh we all love the cars we drive.. I do wish I had bought a 33 to start off with but at that time they were 30k and I wasn't willing to spend that much.

My little old 32 was looked and felt bran spanking new. Not a mark any where on the interior.

Not sure what I'll go next, we do need a 7 seater of some sort so chances are I'll stick with a cheaper work run about. I've got my eye on a cheap R32 GTS4 auto, rb30, rb26 head a pair of 2530's or gtss's.

Obviously the car would be setup for brisk off idle acceleration, I'm not interested in high speed to be honest.

Sorry 32Gts owners but 32 GTR is the only option(unless of course you've done the RB30 option) If you want a smaller car and only a 2ltr, I'd run a 180sx Type X! The SR20 is just as good as the RB20, and the car would be way lighter! But really it comes down to what shape you like, and how old you want the car to be! If i were you i'd run your Vette down the 1/4 and keep your Line for some laps where you can appreaciate the handling of a Skyline!

Just my2c

[nisskid]

maybee nisskid you should come for a drive with me and we'll see if u say she dont pull

lol well urs has had stuff done to it, i guess it probably because i see alot of r33 drivers around that have just done pod, exhuast and intercooler. Granted if u have done more to ur car its going to pull hard, but i dunno if uve been in any worked rb20's they still flex pretty hard. Now if uve been in a worked rb25 r32, well, we have a winner.

Well how about someone praise my car then...surely someone wants to buy it

[Nozila]

i have option to drive either an r33 or r32, and its an r33 any day of the week. 180sx [2Litre] over 32 anyday as well. we talking r32 gtst btw.

no no work done to my car just afforementioned pod, exhuast and intercooler running 8PSI 10 when its cold 11.5 if im really lucky then RPM runs out

ive been in my mate R33 gtr when it had 250 RWKW running 19psi now that was fast

Now that is a very short diff, didn't think they'd be crazy enough to make it that low. Making up for the lack of torque I guess

I didn't actually know they had to fit intrusion bars, goo that they made them do so though.

Maybe it was cars that were imported early on in the grey imports scheme that didn't get them done, I'm pretty sure there's some out there without them fitted.

i probably should have not mentioned FMIC, and by exhuast i mean those pissy ones with mufflers n shit

real men have straight thru's

id do hi flow cats, its not worth the 10grande max fine and defect for a gutted cat and the possibility of killing yourself if u start the car in the garage, run inside to pick up some sunnies and then inhale half a litre of carbon monoxide on the way back to the drivers seat.

[Nozila]

straigh throughs on rb's sound awesome on idle not to mention under load.

[J_Red33]

Some of the metallic type cats you get now aren't much different to having a straight thorough really, much more free flowing & also legal. Worth the money IMO

[4dirty2]

straight though all the way baby. listen to my RB in it natural form :sorcerer:

lol, noone has ever been fined for having no cat. and how the f**k can i get done for one anyway? if they even bother with looking under my car, they will see the cat, and ive been through regency twice and havnt even been DB tested. they look at ur stocko exhuast (that uve put on there for the inspection) and dont even worry bout the test.

plus, once u pop, u cant stop backfire FTW!!

[Madaz]

BBQ doritoes mmmmm flameage

[sinistaGTR]

10pts for back fire it gets ppl that like to sit right up your a#*e, few pumps of the accelerator and they wont be sitting there too long......

yer i get sick of hearing ppl say ZOMGwontsomeonethinkofthefumes!!!!

No ones ever been fined, or shown proof that someones received a 10k fine yet

[Pauly33GTS-t]

The people who got fined the cash sold their computers so they cannot be with us today my friend. lol

I was hoping someone would laugh at my comment about picking up the sunnies and then on the stroll back to the car from the back door to the garage mr.carbon monoxide enters ur lungs and tells you to "stop breathing" lol. "stop breathing u muther f**ker im gonna kill u, hah thought it was cool with the strait thru and the flames out ur exhaust didnt ya, well now look at ya gaspin for air n shit"

[Bl4cK32]

Just because u remove the cat in a car doesnt mean that all of a sudden there are no noxious gasses coming out of an exhaust pipe...most people dont do it to add a flaming wank job either.

Mine was causing a restriction so i removed the restriction and picked up some free kw.
