my opinion of the R32 is: R32 with RB25DET > *

you got the style, looks and power out of a small comfortable car.

even the RB20 with stock internals, decent turbo, cams, injectors and computer will set you up nicely.

on the other hand, my opinion of the R33:

that is all. ;)

that's the best looking boat i've ever seen...

I know that if I were to have a daily I would definately want something with a decent interior so I would recommend an R33, possibly the Series II because they look much nicer on the outside than a stock series I. Just had mine tuned and pulled 270hp with pfc some more boost and basic mods and she goes quite well. 450km+ to a tank.

On the other hand if its great distances that you are travelling then 32 because they deserve to be run into the ground like a beat up VL haha

Hanging is too good for R33 owners....and so continues the downward trend of this thread ;)

But to the original poster, just shop around and look at both models. Sooner or later you will find an example that you tick most boxes and will like. It could be an R32, could be an R33. There is no point comparing stock ones as there are more modified ones out there then stock

exact same mods to a 32 and 33, and the 32 is slower? geee, reallly?????! derrr! dont hav to be a fregin scientist to firgure that one out.

evryone knows stock for stock the 33 is faster...and if u mod them in the same way ofcouse the 33 will be faster..

my 32gtst has only a few minor mods (exhaust,fmic,11psi,ecu remap) and it will get to 100 in mid 5's on crappy rear tyres...

so u may hav to mod the 32 a lil more...pfft, who cares, atleast ur in a car that looks better than the thousands of boat 33's drivin around...i see them every single day...ugly as hell itself.

they dont even get a second look, 33's just blend into the b/ground like commodores.

if u want sumthin special a nice clean 32 is the way ;)

Can't believe the amount of morons ARGUING about the look of the 2 models...particularly you 32line

When will you get it through your thick heads that aesthetics are 100% opinion based and should not factor into a debate like this as its up to each individual as to which they prefer...

You can say R33's are ugly until your blue in the face, but no amount of dribbling can make that an indisputable fact.

As for everyone mentioning the weight of the R33 and how its such a 'boat', its always humerous to note that they never seem to mention that an R34 is heavier still.

Improved suspension, safety etc will all add to the weight...so while yo drive around in your 'super lightweight race car' the rest of us will drive around in our superior boats.

There is a few r32's out there now going for some pretty cheap prices too. Well under the 10k mark, and that's for turbo manual models.

Have owned both, with my first skyline being a series 2, r33. absolutely fantastic to drive, and literally nothing ever went wrong with it in the 1.5 years i owned it.

bought a r32 after that, and the differences are pretty noticable. the rb20det is pointless. the only way i could get the car to do sub 14 quarter miles is if i threw it off a cliff. the interior is a lot less comfortable, and a lot more noisy.

at the same time, the car handles ten times better, and i don't feel like i am about to plow into the country side when i take a sharp turn.

so now have put a rb25det into it, which makes the car fantastic to drive. noticably quicker than the r33, with the same ammount of mods. now i just gotta get some bigger brakes for it, as the r32 ones aren't up to scratch.

as for the interior and noise, i just drive with the music a bit louder :thumbsup: and will hopefully get some recaros by the end of the month.

hahah, 32's look shit stock...33's look even worse. hence the gtr bits. btw...the skirts are the standard type M ones made for gtst :D

and dezz i am aware aesthetics are 100% opinion based, but i love to stir 33 owners in sh*t pointless threads like this one :D

32 FTW!

mwhahahahahahahahahaha!!!

I would compare RB25 to a similar capacity motor like RB26.

SR20, RB20 are more even, as they are in the same 2.0 litre class

and produce around the same peak hp (600-700hp) when modified.

Also look at what the RB20DET was competing against in the 80's

(Japan, Australia, UK).

That would be Honda Civic, Ford Cosworth, BMW M3, etc.

The gtr kit is the best looking and most functional kit you can get for the 32 gtst. Not everyone with a gtr kit wants a gtr, get over it

ps hows the blown motor going haha gtr's FTL

      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

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      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.
