Yeah thats what i had heard the 2.5 in a 32 is lethal where as in the 33 its powerful but is held back by weight ratios.

The fastest N/A's down the strip I know of are actually the R32 GTS25's, they come out factory with 142kw at the flywheel. With a bit of work they can run low 15's.

Even though the type S R33 tend to make a little bit more power(147), the extra weight of the R33 works against them.

But give me a R33 any day :P

umm people are already buying them and putting them in storage in japan. when the car is 15 years old to the day u can bring it in, but make sure u research its not that simple, u need to apply for permission to import that vehicle and a whole range of other things.

Let a company like prestige motorsport worry bout all that for you if you choose to import, i got the R32 gts25, its a nice car, my auto box holds it back but thats to change in the future. Got the 2.5ltr goodness and the lighter shell, more room in a r33, bigger backseat etc, more spacious, but the r32 just looks mean and ready to go.

The R33 GTS25 is quicker than the R32 GTS.

Last year at the drags a guy with a R32 2LGTS manual was running high 16,s for the 1/4 mile, that was with air filter,extractors and 2 1/4" exhaust. A R33 GTS25 will run high 16's stock.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
