Hya, iv had my R32 sky with approx 250rwhp for a couple of months now.. and basically Im bored of the power, I want more. I love the car, dont love the lag.

Are 33's worth it over the 32? or more to say is the 25 any quicker of the 20. I cant afford a GTR at this stage but im wanthing something I can get power out of easier without feeling im being too hard on the motor.

but yeh feed back on what you think of your 33 and even would love to hear comparisons of what people think who have driven both

cheers

stay with the r32 man...there is too many r33's out there and personally i like the r32 look way better..you wont get much more power than the r32 and they are very similar the only thing that is newer and nicer is the interior...but who cares...R32 FTW...

tha major issue i think is im worried about spending too much money on a R32 GTST.. like at the end of the day its not a GTR and if i was to build a stupid hp 25 for my 32 its not going to have the same aurora so to speak. But im thinking, its not to far off displacement as a 26 anyway & 450hp is 450hp.. a 26 will just be easier to get more than 500hp than a 25 correct and even then its going to cost ALOT to get more than factory hp on a 26 anyway correct. not to mention I love the 32GTR body shape, if i was to do a Rb25 32 with GTR guards it would be concidered a wank and a insult to gtr owners

it is kind of hard to convince myself to just put a 25 in the 32 and be done with it.

I duno im really undecided

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
