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:

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
