I hate these threads, everyone recomends the car that they own and then bag the others saying rb25>rb20, r33s are boats, rb>sr, etc. It turns into an arguement of who has the best car

get the car you want and like the most

That is what he does not know. along with a billion others. so he asked for some help. reading through peoples opinions he will find the general curve to what the majority of people think is the best.

that is correct

like i have been looking at S13 - 14s and not considered a GTR because i thought they were a lot heavier and would use more fuel. (to me its an issue, i want good economy if i drive easy)

to anyone out there who has experience with both models could you please give some FB

between a S13 and a gtrst

can you please tell me which was best for

acceleration?

braking?

cornering?

fuel consumption? best and worst IE is either one better or worse than the other?

cause i realise it comes down to a lot of factors but as a general rule........

omg... Ain't it really easy to decide which car best suites your style? like skylines and silvias have totally different stylez...Skylines = rocket style, silvia = slim and nice.... in terms of power R33 gts-t would be the best :P

Couldn't have said it better...

The Skyline is the most powerful. :P

You could also make Silvias into a 'rocket style' too... thus it would be 'slim and nice' and a rocket which is the best of both worlds lol. But it's upto whether you want a beast looking car or a delicate looking car...

thanks for the replys guys.

I like a car that you can chuck into a corner

Also fuel economy when crusing is important to me as well.

One car i was looking at was a MA61 supra (1350kg) with a 1JZ and when not going hard on the boost it will get 9l/100km, very good.

I was wondering of the ower was having me on when hi told me this, but he connected a Air-Fuel meter to the exhaust and we went on a run and until the boost came on hard, it was reading 14.9 the whole time!!!

It was a standard computer as well.

Hit the boost and is came down in the 11s

I am wondering if the Nissan engines can be this frugal as well.

Get an R33-> most power+torque +tuning potential out of the lot.

It also looks good, has more interior room, newer technology, etc. Also less likely to have bad mechanical wear compared to an R32 or S13.

I agree, the handling isn't as direct as the others (weight, length) but in context you won't be power sliding everyday anyway, plus with some good coilovers (a must do if you wanna tune) the handling becomes sharp + crisp (i have coilovers...handles like a monster).

Pick what you want!

Good luck (with the R33 :O )

At the end of the day all car choices are a personal one, what is the right one for you may not be liked by others, which does't matter anyway. I went looking for six months for a gtr and ended up after a test drive not buying said gtr. so what ever everyone on this thread is telling you, the right choice is nissan-regardless of model and you will do well if you dont rush to buy the first car you see. Just take your time, you'll choose right

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
