Today i drove a r33 with a few simple mods, i think i was driving around 13psi. Because im looking around now for a 32 to buy i been driving a lot of them and there is such a difference between the engines its not funny. Makes me want to get a 33 but blah blah over power to weight and all that.

Well.......the one BIG difference is the extra 0.5ltr capacity of the engine, not to mention the modifications Nissan did from one model the next.

I remember the first Skyline I drove, it was at an import yard on Nepean Highway in Gardenvale (I think it is). I had a VERY clean 79 VB SLE and I test drove an 96 series II R33 - Non turbo. I was like PWOW! This this is fast.......Now I look back and think "That was fast.....compared to me VB".

It's always fun to drive a new car :(

Buy mine it has a 33 turbo on it :(

yeh im going to say i like the 33's better i just sold my 32 and the increase in torque of the 25 is quite noticeable. i also like the styling of the series 2 better - bonnet and bar make it look aggresive and sleak

0 equaling very high care factor...

on a scale where 0= very high, and, 10= very low

WTF??? :laugh: What I was meant to be saying was people need to get over the whole power to weight thing, buy the car you want! As long as you dun drive it like a retard you'll rarely have a problem.....

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
