O.k in a year or so i will be wanting to do one of a few things car wise before i save for my house

Options i am considering

1.Sell current gtst and but and slightly modify a R34

2.Sell current gtst and buy a stock 33gtr/lightly modded 32 gtr

3.work on my current gtst upgrade turbo ect

just wanting your guys opinion on what i should do as i havn't made up my own mind yet and its still far off

should have just above 20g's to spend (with car sold)

asking your opinions

Cheers

Think carefully. Once you get that mortgage you have in effect shackled yourself in a huge chain never to have ready cash to spend on toys again. lol

If your 33 is good and you are happy, I'd keep it an mod it. 20k would have it singing. 'Better the devil you know' in some ways? Buy a new car and it could be a lemon.

Sell the gtst and buy a r32 GTR that is slightly upgraded that way you have a fun car that you won’t have to upgrade for a while and therefore you can focus more on saving for a house

I like the look of the 32 gtr's better than the 33's, just has a tougher stance when its dumped on 18's. however it is almost becoming a classic. I wouldnt want to have to fret about it (if things go wrong), with a house waiting to be paid off..

IMO dump the house and live in your car then you can make a 7 sec godzilla streeter.. whilst having insane banana dance raves.. :P;):banana:

tough decision man.

Don't sell my R33 so soon LOL

The R33 GTR's are pretty rare, as are the R32 GTR's. If it was me i'd go with the R33 GTR as i personally prefer them, but at the end of the day it's up to you :D

yeah im tossing up between a stock 33 gtr or a nice 32, how common are the 33's compared to the 32's (GTR's)

lots less 33 gtr produced than 32's

but the 33's are a hell of a lot fuglier imo

<3 my 32R. I was eyeying off a 33GTR for a while aswel. Thing that made me change my mind was the 33's are heavier (not by much, bout 50-100kg more, very negligible) was that you can't disable the AWD systems on em, same as the 34's. 32GTR's have for me always looked a lot better and have the true "cult" recognition aswel, coupled with the fact that they were the reason australian touring cars went to V8's and RWD only :(

My opinion would be, keep the R33 and drop money into it and get out of it what you want performance wise. Reason being, it's better to modify a car you already have and know where to put the $$ than to i nherit someone elses potential problem and then have to spend more money on it than you originally intended.

I agree with Joe.

With 20g, you will not find a 33gtr and not much change on a modded 32gtr + stamp duty. So if you need to do any maintenance....its extra $$ needed and you'll be digging into the house fund.

Having said that....i've never walked my talk and bought cars on impulse.

    • Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.
    • wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness. 
    • yes, ive done this to my rb20de neo. Really wakes the car up and i could feel an insane power increase just by removing the restricted stock auto transmission.
