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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
