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 :(

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.....

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
