it dusnt matter what you buy ul always want sumthg else...ive had every nissan import...selted with my 32 gtst and my first car was a 33 got sick of ceing them everywhere......32 is a much nicer looking car i reckn...why nt thrash the 20 while u save for engine swap thats what i been doing the only prob is i dnt think its gonna die....my two cents bro....

ive owned an rb25 powered r32 with 280hp and a rb20 powered r32 with 320hp. the rb25 as u know feels alot better effortless power. where the rb20 needs to be ringed out. i also have a r34 with a rb26 and after owning 2 turbo 31s 2 r32s an r34 im accually wanting to sell my r34 to go back to r32 gtr. dunno if that will help.

33 s are very common and they remind me of a vt commo. 32's look way nicer gotta love the old boxy shape

CT commo?/?

yeh i preffer r32. Personally I woundn't buy r33. Except for r33 gtr. I gotta say, they r nice :) actually any gtr r nice.

1st r32

2nd r34

3rd r33

RB25det on r32 sounds nice. I wanna do it to mine......how much u rekon?

I have a 33 and after driving my mates R32 with the RB20 id have to say the 33 feels better. But with a little bit of money spent on the 32 you could make it the same. Bung a bigger motor in it and your power probs will be solved. Lots of parts availabel for the RB25. Best engine though would be the RB30.

But I gotta say, there are few nice looking R33 going around. I saw one in Mandurah with like really glossy paint job. Looked awesome :( I want that paint job lol.

Yeh, Rb30. nice. Wat is the price difference in rb25 and rb30? which ones cheaper to convert?

Depends how cheap a 30 you want to build..

To put an RB30DET (with R32 RB25DE head) into an R32 GTSt is easier than putting an RB25.

Cost wise, it would probably be cheaper* to buy a 33 halfcut and put the RB25 in.

*You could build a cheap RB30DET but it really depends on usage and power goals as to how much it would cost.

33 s are very common and they remind me of a vt commo. 32's look way nicer gotta love the old boxy shape

1st ill punch you in the head for comparing a skyline with a commo.

2nd ill agree with the fact that SOME 32's look nice, but there are also SOME insane 33's out there.

theres probably a reason why there are so many 33's around. they are reasonably price and they have balls, big turbo charged balls. :D

Everytime someone buys an R33, Jesus dreams up another plague for the jews to suffer through and he is running slim on ideas.... like Stephen Kings Lamp Monster. Nyah Nyah

.... ROFL... MAO......

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
