hey SAUer's

Just thought id start a topic asking everyone which they believe is the better skyline.

I know overally the 34 is (newer, better parts etc) but as far the "oldies" go which is the better?

i was told (probably by a insecure source that the 32 is due to it being overall lighter, dispites

it's RB20 compared to the 33's RB25.

But the 33 was given more engine displacement due to more weight. so i ask the question,

Which overally (engine, maintenance, power and even fuel economy) is the best?

As in factory R32 vs factory R33.

Cheers

buckets out.

ok mate,

this has been covered a few times - so itd b worth doing a search to hunt down other threads to get more info etc,

buuut my 2cents,

i have an r32 gtst with an rb20engine and box and a rb25turbo - and she goes sweet, slides easy

but if i had more cash i'd probs want an rb25engine and box,

so the bang for buck choice is probs the r33,

with the r33 u get the bigger engine, stronger box, bigger brakes, an anchor :ninja: and a newer car

just depends what you are into buddy

32>33 imo :laugh:

:kiss:

edit: heres one of the threads i was talking about buddy, have a read

:) clicky

This thread makes baby jesus cry :thumbsup:

I cant believe im going to reply in this... (cough)

Honestly, stock for stock, R32 GTS-t vs R33 GTS-t

The R33 is faster, smoother, stronger, better value for money, younger & better brakes

The R32 is more rigid, lighter & has a classic cult following

What im saying is they both have a place in the world for different reasons. Not all later models are better, but with Skylines they met what the market wanted in 1989 with the R32, then they met the market again in 1993 with the R33, cars are an evolution of what the target market wants... As such they met the market in 2007 with the R35GTR... Its all relivent...

Your choice, but for me it always comes down to age... Both are more than 10 years old now, some R32's are infact 20 years old this year...

But on a budget, id go for the youngest R33 you can afford (ie. Series 2) so your on the right track...

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
