Forget about how much you love skylines for a second. To make it quick what should i get 98 WRX or a 93 R32 GTS-T. The only major reason i can think that the WRX is better is its a bit newer but all in all what are the pro's and con's of the cars?

Depends what you want to do with it and more importantly how it's been looked after for both.

Chances are most of what you will look at will be crap because both cars are typically driven hard.

If you could find a perfect stock example of each, for the same money, a WRX is probably a better buy

for both street and track.

Our last (98) WRX with unichip, exhaust, k&n panel, track pads and semis was good for 1.09.09 around Wakefield.

I did 250k kms in it (had it from new) with the last 210k being on 17psi boost (124awkw @ CRD) with regular track time.

Replaced one clutch @ 120k and one wheel bearing @ about 170k or so. They don't eat gearboxes if you don't wind

the wick up too much; nor do they eat clutches if you don't spend all your time launching them. They are a fun car

and the stock suspension on a 98 WRX will be in much better than stock '93 suspension.

a friend of mine drives a my99 wrx but is very conservative when it comes to launching due to the gearbox going a number of times. they're also not as fast as a rear wheel drive car on rolling runs, and can have some understeer issues. apart from that they're fairly well built cars

lol, car in aussie is very very CHEAP if you compare it to vehicle's price in malay,indonesia or singapore..

for instance if you buy camry in indonesia, with that money you can buy e class or 5 series here..that explains why so many asian student got nice cars, coz it's cheap!!

WRX arent very fast stock... and yes they're gearboxes are notorius for dying

Go a 32 and mod it with the extra $$$

********************************************

32's arent very fast stock either, thier gearbox's arent much stronger, a bit of extra power and they snap like twigs.... sounds very familiar eh...

talk price range, if your comparing 20k, compare that with other 20k cars atleast.

cars are cheap in aus ? really, i was under the impression cars here cost a fortune compared to many other places in the world. south east asian countries not with standing I would suspect we are over proced.... thats the point of tarifs isnt it ?

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
