yeah both Ryans make very good point here.

Although my favourite is the 32GTR, occasionally you see a nice clean 33 like Ryanrb25's (I think I told you that on the boards a long time ago Ryan).

There are obviously alot more 33's on the road than the other 2 and too often they are ruined by wrong kits so it's a pleasant surprise every now and then to see a tuff one like Ryan's.............IMO they stand out alot more than ones that have been turned into a Concorde airplanes.

thanks pete! coming from someone who has one very tasteful example of a 34 GTR.

there seems to be a problem with people bagging out the R33 :thumbsup: all the skylines have problems...

R31 - too squared

R32 - too squared and too flat

R33 - too round

R34 - too chunky

R35 - too weird?

V35 - too grandpa spec

or maybe R32 owners are jealous their cars too old and R34s paid too much for their car for basically an exterior change :( i'm joking i love all the skylines!

and I'll think you'll find the 34 isn't as chunky as you think.....shorter and lighter than a 33 actually

I've seen that pic - makes the R34 look so tiny there! Though I dont think the R34 is "chunky" personally I was just stating a stereotype people tend to say :thumbsup:

R32 GTR pwns all... was the original revival of the GTR brand, killed all it competed with... something latter GTRs haven't accomplished to the same degree.

Classic styling. Interior is a little dated, but mainly materials, not design based... I actually don't like the latter GTRs interior.

I do however have a soft spot for the R34 GTR... but 33s are poo :thumbsup:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
