Yeah gets boring quickly. I have 270rwkw and am trying to resist the temptation to go for 300+.

haha 300+ still gets boring...but then you have to start looking at powering a couple of extra wheels to enjoy it more...i.e. GTR :whistling:

im sitting on that figure...only few months and i want more already

just cant get enough...300+ all the way!

Back to the topic, u'd feel the difference (more as a passenger), but it wont be scarey tbh..

300rwkw in our gtst has a similiar power to weight as a gtr/gts4 pushing 340-350rwkw. :S

you're shitting me? Here I was, thinkin about buying a GTR and running 320awkw

hhmmm......

why so? The extra weight?

Weight it is....

Mafia.. If you want to improve acceleration and remove some lag drop a set of 4.3 diff gears in your r33. Its a noticable improvement over the 4.11 and 4.08's. I've recently went from 4.08 back to 4.3's as I was bitterly dissapointed. All though first gear was a little more usable second+ sucked in comparison.

I 'assumed' the slightly longer gearing would provide a little more load for the turbo resulting in earlier boost and mask the longer gearing. Definitely not so infact nothing of the like. :yes:

The longer gearing made the car feel laggy as it spent more time in the off boost rev range trying to accelerate in to the 'boost zone' lol :)

4.3's FTW. Definitely recommended.

Those with gtr's look at a set of gts4 4.375:1 diff ratio, the r32 gts4 gearbox also runs slightly shorter ratio's in the first couple of gears and by model/part number the same gtr gearbox just different ratio = same strength.

Quite freaked out how much the lower ratio reduces the lag feel.

lol read what you posted - its confusing as hell!

So the 4.3's will make it less laggier?

What sort of cost is involved? Will it be just as strong?

An R200 is an R200. Plenty strong apart from the open wheeling vlsd's once you start to push some decent power through them.

Crown and pinion from an r32 gtst diff, have it setup with your housing and center for ~$200.

Regarding cars that are quick...... The only car that has made me think wow... was cruising along side Jays 450rwkw Cressida. It sounds awesome and looks the business as it accelerates off. Under 400-350rwkw just doesn't seem to look like its going all that quick. :)

I can't comment on darrens 470rwkw rb30 as I haven't seen it in action. :yes:

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
