All in all not starting a debate here, what do you mean the R32 is a more aggreseive preformer?

Whats the quicker car? I thought the R33 was. What are their stock Power Figures?

i think the means the way the power comes on

R32, looks better, isnt a barge, lighter, not as many around, felt nicer to drive and i drove 33s, 180s...

drive the both and then decide, thats what made my decision

Dont listen to Ed

He is drunk and his judgement cant be trusted :laugh:

I don't know how you determined that the ugly poos aren't as common. They sure as hell are common on george street on a sat ngiht. Anyone with 10k can pick up an ugly poo.

Even if they are less common, that's just because half of the ugly poos (32) with their vl looking exterior and vn looking interior (do your headlight and wiper knobs look familiar) have broken down or been written off.

The old vw beetles aren't very common. does that make it a good car :D

Oh ok, so the ugly poo drove better? not half of the ones that i've driven with their busted arse old suspensions and worn bushes (most of the old ones need work done).

Why exactly do you hate r32's so much? Im not a big fan of 33's but I respect all skylines and still appreciate the car for what it is. I chose an r32 because i prefered it NOT because i couldnt afford a 33, i didnt want a 33.... but whatever ppl that write things like you do dont listen to other ppl that disagree.

I don't hate r32s at all. I am a fan of all skylines. It just so happens that I have both an r33 and an r32.

It's just that r32 drivers always seem to love knocking r33s calling them boats, barges etc, so I merely respond.

I never start calling r32s bad stuff, I merely respond.

performance wise an r33 is quicker. it has more power and only weighs a touch more, and its easier to get power out of a rb25.

r32 weighs about 1320kg with 158kw, thats 120kw/ton.

r33 weighs about 1370kg with 184kw, thats 134kw/ton.

i prefer the interior of the r33. its more modern looking. the exterior of them i think they can both look good, and they can both look bad.

i think the means the way the power comes on

yeah pretty much, between the 2 cars i had/ have the 32 would be quicker and more lively upto 100klm but then the 33 would nose in front after that

oh and mad082: thats on paper, its a very different story when you drive them both... try getting their gear ratio's and final drive and add that into the equation :woot: , and the lil rb has a higher redline :wave:

what revs does an rb20 hit full boost by? my 33 hits it by under 3000rpm. i have been in a few 32s and none have gone as well as 33's i have been in. they have all had the same mods, just cooler, exhaust, pod and a boost increase. they are just too laggy. r33's don't seem that fast by seat of the pants in the drivers seat because they pull from such a low rpm. silvias and r32s come in higher so it feels like they pull harder, but it is just because they pull less down low. but if you keep both up in the rev range the r33 feels better.

my 33 hits +boost by 2200rpm-ish the 32 i am talking about hit positive boost around 2500rpm-ish, they were both stock except 3in cat back, once modified the rb25 shits all over the 20 with out a doubt . dont forget that the 25 runs 7psi stock and the 32 runs 10psi.... but the 33 turbo flows better :thumbsup:

R32's (and R32 engined R31's) have all gone pretty well, love the way they rev, its peaky, but you do suffer at lower revs.

whereas a stock engined R33 comes onto boost so quickly you hardly notice it, full boost under 3000, its extremely linear.. but it doesnt rev as high.

modified, the 25 will really start to show its colors.

so, go for the best of both worlds;

an R32 with an RB25? :)

33 kills the 32 in stock form. All though modified i'd love an r32 track/drift with rb25, huge turbo, roll-cage, minimal interior and extra weight removed but that's not quite stock.

"Kills" ..... I think that might be a bit of an exageration... no question the 33 stock is faster than the 32 stock but i wouldnt agree with the word "kills"

The R32 is more of a driver's car, the 33 is more of a cruisy car.

Drive both and think about which kind of car you'd prefer more! The 32's steering/handling gives more feedback and is slightly better, personally i prefered the smaller and tighter interior, it seemed to involve you more than the r33's does. The 33 has a better motor n faster in a straight line, is a newer car and also isn't far behind the 32 round the twisties.

Looks wise R32 > R33

Engine wise Rb25 > Rb20

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
