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

      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.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
