Rex --4Wd 2.5 Turbo 4 Door....New..comes with warranty ,3 Years and goes like a rocket.Newer features and luxury's.

Gtst ---2WD 2.5 Turbo 2 door...old...Lots of money for repairs and maintenance..older dash ,less creature comforts.

It is a personnel preference .....I have seen superb gtst's and wrx's....but technology is far more advanced in a rex new

than a 14 year old gtst33.

It is like you are putting an apple and an orange together and trying to work out the differences.

If you are really comparing a rex (NEW)...dollar for dollar ,you would have to say a gtr34(Stock)or even a nice gtr33(with all the extras)is nearly the same price.

Now you are comparing apples to apples:D

Meh .... two totally different cars and designs. We own both (although not a new wrx ).

Its personal taste. I personally don't like the new wrx's.... hate the look and they have lost the appeal for me.....test drove one and thought about it and decided to buy another R33 and keep the 97 Wrx wagon.....

To work on mechanically... the wrx is a pain in the ass with the boxer engine.

My 2 cents anyways.

test drove a 06 rex and felt my only slightly modded r33 was a better sorted car in terms of performance and feel on the road.

The awd is great for the wet but you can also have a bit more fun in the rwd..if you're careful

Obviously it was a newer car - less rattles and nicer inside - but hey for another 25k you'd hope so.

R33s are bloody reliable

I would buy the WRX.

It has fewer letters in it, so you'll be more likely to spell it correctly.

no, i only thought of WRX coz, thats the only sports car you can get with reasonable price n newer model.

Can you get any other newer sports car, same price as wrx? apart from ugly big headed lights on toyota celica-

i dont like the newer wrx from behind, big lights looks horrible, i just saw one few days ago lol

so now i go for skyline :) still deciding..

      No engine fan = quieter getrag ???

      By Butters · Posted

      Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.

      Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
