First off yes sorry for opening another thread but would reali like some advice.

Im not sure wheather or not im doing the right thing. And i feel like im getting cold feet. Just need a bit of advice about the two cars.

First off at the moment i own a GTST SERIES 2 R33. It has a perfect body and interior.

204.5kws at the wheels

Stainless Steel turbo back exhaust

POD

Power FC and controller

Apexi Boost Controller

Front and Back strut braces

Big Intercooler

Aliminium Radiator

AVS light weight rims

Runs perfect

I enjoy it dont get me wrong but if i was to keep it id mod it a bit, most prob get slides high flow and some injectors.

Now the car im looking at is a GTR R32 1990

Its got new HKS GT-ss turbos

Titaniam Exhaust

R33 GTR seats

HUge light wieght rims

Stock everything else

Things i would do to it is new computer (if i can find one a power fc and controller, pods and boost controller)

Needs a bit of attention to the paint, needs new tyres.

Now ive never reali driven a GTR before and i dont kno if loosing a perfect car will be made up by the experiance of owning a GTR?

Is there reali that much differance in driving the two?

I wanted to one day use the car at the drags if adelaide ever gets one! soi yer which would be better

Its my daily driver car also

just a bit worried that im doing the wrong thing and i wont enjoy it as much.

i prefer the 33 shape and comfort but im drawn to the GTR badge...

any help advice or anything would reali reali be appreciated

just a bit confused about what to do... and loosing a hell of alot of sleep over it

Thanks

Adam

There is no simple answer here... its a matter of personal opinion.

Drive both then you will know which you enjoy more.

Personally... (and I will probly get flamed for this but...) there are a lot of "nice"33s getting around, there is no substitute for a GTR.

You must weigh this up with practicality of everyday driving, maintenance costs etc

Good luck.

do the math on repairs insurance and extra fuel you will use do to sweet sweet sound of RB26 on full tap

its not always just about the driving

ask Ben Grim32 he's done 2x engine rebuilds due to unforseen circumstances

insurance is roughly the same slightly more for the gtr

but fuel i was expecting to be roughly the same once i push the 33 out to around 270kws and the gtr being roughly 250kws... yet expecting the gtr to be quicker

Also being an older car i guess it will have less comfort features. Worse rid, less safty features etc

After having a R33GTST s'2 and a 2000 wrx and 94R32GTR sitting in the drive way at the same time, I still have the GTR . BUT the wrex and R33 cost bugger all in maintanance. Take a GTR for a drive though and you will want one.

There goes the spare cash (hip pocket(OUCH)).

Sorry , hate to make things worse. LOL

i feel like going out for a bit of a drive tonight... meet up somewhere? =P

not sure how much driving you might get to do... (damn insurance wont cover you if something goes wrong) but its better than nothing??

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
