ud have to be nuts to go for a WRX, first theyre 4 door- not exactly a sports car, and i think from memory its got a 1.9 litre 6 cylinder engine in comparison to a 2.6 litre GTR the stocky RX has the same engine capacity as the WRX.... u figure it out u have turbo to boost it up and family car sized engine .... u figure it out

Ok hold up! A WRX is a 2 litre Boxter 4 engine (H4) Turbo Charge and the later model it was upped to a 2.5 ltire Boxter 4 engine (H4) Turbo Charge.

There were 2 door versions such as the Subaru Impreza WRX STi 22B.

Cool!

Can someone tell me why you call sti wrx's subies.

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

id go the R34 GTR if i was you mate

Subies = short for Subaru

A Rexy = WRX

Lazy talk, LOL!

OK back to cliffo_rb26dett

If you are 19 and could get a R34 GTR, HELL! GO FOR IT! WHAT YOU WAITING FOR?!

I had to wait 4 years till I got my R32 GTR.

When I was 19, stock R34 GTR's (not even V Spec's) were $110 000 if not $120 000.

GTR vs STi = 2 different cars.

Engine wise and each car will have its own characteristics.

Its up to you to test drive both and make a choice on what you preffer better.

I drove a R34 GTR V Spec then a friends Ford AU TE 50

AWD vs RWD

2.6 lt Inline 6 Twin Turbo vs 5 lt V8

The feel was totaly different, R34, I love the boost kick in feeling at the top end which I am use to and the TE 50's torque was a very big pull down low.

Each to their own.

Well, I do hope that you enjoy your wonderful car for years and years. Townsville you say? How's the road up the mountainside there? Twisty and Windy? Enjoy it!

You've made a great choice if the GTR is in good nick. Get a good mechanic who knows his GTRs... Don't skimp on services with oil changes every 5000Km

Perhaps some of the guys here on SAU can help with that info.

Oh Yes. Don't worry about some of the guys hacking into you about grammar. I must admit that initially I was laughing at you - but now I'm laughing with you...

I keep on telling my friends that I only bought my wife a BMW 'cause it's the only car she can spell !!

You seem like a really nice guy - and a good personality is something you can't pay $$$ for!

PM me if you're in Sydney and you can have a ride in my R34 (or if you prefer, the other one on the left hand side of the page)!

Cheers

Terry

i ran this through babelfish and i got

"gday guys, i was gonna get a 32 or a 34 gtr (massive price difference) but the insurance companies wouldn't touch me with dog sh*t on a stick. I am now considering a My03 STI and wonder how much will it get bent over by a GTR. My mate has an MY03 STI and I think it is very fast but I wouldn't know because of the fact that he is my friend but he never lets me sit in his car because of a restraining order.

Cheers"

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
