Hey everyone. I have never been in a turbo car before, so I was wondering if any one could explain to me what the acceleration feels like in an r33 gts-t stock. Do you get that pull sensation that everyone speaks of?

Sorry - probably a stupid question but anyway.

Also, sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

Thanks

Luke. ;)

Well its hard to compare, like when my mate first brought his AUTO R33 Skyline Series 1.5 , Back then i just turned 18 and brought a VTEC prelude and knew nothing about cars, Yes, i did get a sick nice geforce.... but i think it was in my mind + my crappy h22a prelude manual... comparing to that. Overall Stock pulls ok, not bad, very smooth feel.

Stock wont have much of a feel to it, as it isnt running lots of boost.

You'll get the feeling of being pushed into the back of your seat a second time as boost kicks in, in any turbo.

Passenger seat always feels faster, driver's seat always feels more fun, especially in a manual.

Untill you get use to it and the power bug bites.

^^ yes, you get used to it and want more power, a vicious cycle of high power mods occurs, and you take it for granted, until the day you drive somebody else's naturally aspirated 4 cylinder 1.2l front wheel drive auto...suddenly, you love your car soo much more.

Very true, mine f**ked up and i had to go back to my old nc fairlane for a month, was awesome getting back into the skyline.

If your not use to it or a first timer, then you will feel the turbo kick in and you get that feeling like on a roller coaster "Butterflies in your stomach"...

After a while you get use to it and it's considered normal, till you increase your boost.

It's a bit irrelevant how fast the car is IMO...unless it's running 0 psi, comparing off boost to on boost you still get the pull that he is talking about in any turbo car, particularly if you've never been in a turbo car. I can feel it in a turbo diesel Land Cruiser and like you guys I've also been in some seriously fast cars (subjective I know). He will definitely get that pull, but yes it will fade off after a while if he doesn't swap between slow and fast cars or modify his.

Also I'm going to say the stock GTS-T is a fast car...by the standards of road cars today it still is. 99% of cars you come across these days, it's still only V8s and other turbo cars that are going to keep up with you in a properly driven zero to speed limit dash.

OK

$350.00 Touch of Class recon you could save about $14650.00 + no on roads and be sensationaly pulled.

:) Just had to do it he he. :)

Next time I'm in Bris I can take you for a cruise?

I used to own a 180sx so the launch of the skyline didnt impress me...

First ride in the 180 I imagine would be much like the skyline... away it goes and it feels like your being dragged forward

i could tell the difference in power and that "pull sensation" your words not mine.

but this was me going from a tr magna to a r33 gtst but now im use to the power it feels slow to me at the moment and im constantly craving more power.

In my opinion, you won't get a nice PULL from a stock R33 until you do some basic mods, e.g. Pod air filter, Blow off valve, front mounted intercooler and possibly some new Spitfire coilcovers and NGK spark plugs - this is what I call the basic mods. After these, you will experience a good hike in power. Added with a boost controller you'll be hitting the 200 kws mark and from here you will feel the joy.

Modify your car slowly as once you've done everything you'll soon want to move on to another car.

Hmm...

R33 NA, = nothing.

R32 GTS4 = Yes definitely (they are turbo). Everyone says these are underpowered but it felt like a rocket the first few times I drove it.

R33 GTR = OMGWTFBBQ when I first drove it (its stock too!).

As for the argument of normal family cars being as quick as a stock R33 GTST, I'd say yes they are and you would get that "pull" sensation from them. A mate and I had a run, his stockie R34 GTT vs my mum's 2005 Saab 95 Linear. At about 140, he had me at 2 car lengths. (On private property of course :banana: )

I just drove the 07 Corolla sedan my parents bought & up till then I never released how much BETTER my car was compared to that A-B white good.

It wasn't the power difference that surprised me, (to be honest I felt that the Corolla had more pull compared to my car somehow, even though it only had 100kw at the fly wheel & weights almost the same as a GTS-T :banana:)

The steering had the most difference, the Corolla doesn't have a 'steering feel' to it at all. Felt like I was playing one of those old driving games at the arcade where the plastic wheel doesn't have force feed back. It felt pretty loose no matter what speed I'm going at.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
