lol i can afford an r33 gtst, yet I bought an R32 gts and yes I am upgrading its internals to an R33 GTSt. And yes I have made every single one of those comments in the past, cept maybe that poser comment, it sounds too fast n furious for my vocab.

Its like asking sum1 to choose between a new mustang and a Shelby GT500... my personal preference says Shelby GT500, even though its older, outdated and less powerful.

You may not have to come to terms that some people might not see your car as godsend but please don't patronise or mock my intelligence on behalf of my personal tastes. I would simply choose an r32 over an r33 because that's the way I feel. Most people you'll find are biased, they don't hate your car, most people on this forum view all skylines as equal, and under the bonnet they mostly are.

Pantae: All of the R33 range comes with digital climate control as far as im aware, ive never seen nor been in one that hasnt.

and even if the r32s were continued to 1994, they were continued unchanged.

The r33 interior and general mechanics are newer/more engineered compared to 32s.

As for power to weight?

SR20DET has 153KW stock, at 1200kg = 7.84kw per KG

RB25DET has 187KW stock, at 1400kg = 7.48kw per KG

Very little difference.

There all good cars, but at the end of the day, if i had the choice between r32, s13 or R33.

I know which ide choose :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

ive seen sum really nice R32s and ive seen some really nice R33s

but then i have seen some really ugly R32s and R33s

i have always luved R32s and thats why i own one

yea i got it dirt cheap but i still wouldnt have got an R33 over the R32 unless it was a GTR

i luv all GTRs its just the GTS's where i prefer one model over the other and i would have to say i perfer the R32

im a small guy and i feel so much smaller in a bigger car thats just another reason i prefer the R32 :D

and to be quite honest im not a huge fan of all the modern interiors i prefer something simple, straight, not too many different panels just something basic

i think is far from a VN commonwhore i luv the idea of have just the indicator on a stalk and the rest on the console i cant stand an over crowded stalk

just my 2c

why did u use the SR20 not the RB20 here?.... i think i'm getting lost in this thread... too many people worried about what everyone else thinks rather than they're own personal preference....

lol its become an R33 vs the rest of the world thing. this threads become more of a raging out thread than anything constructive... with all the name calling and puttting down of each others cars.

lets revell in the fact that we all have twin cam multivalve turbo 6's, 4spot brakes, decent suspension, power everything and a set of tail lights everyone this side of a ferrari is jealous of.

oh, & some of us have an electronic front spoiler (lol)

Not only that, but both the weight and power figures are wrong. One other thing too - I think you meant kg/kw not kw/kg cos we'd have some ridiculously high powered cars with the figures you listed :D

Anyway, iIt's 184kW and 1360kg (using the 93 GTS25t weight cos that's what I have).

This makes a ratio of 7.39kg/kW - which still illustrates your point anyway :).

Who ever leaves there car stock??? Its like some twit saying the Rb25det has more protential then a Sr20. To those people who think that, they haven't driven a car with serious balls. Both motors have the protential to be undrivable.

I've seen a subzero 180sx fry its wheels in 3rd and a s15 fry them them thru 3rd to 4th while both cars are all over the road. Witnessed a r33 almost take out a guard rail after they gave it a boot @ 120km/h. In addition, a mates r32 gtst with rb26 has no problem smoking the wheels @ 120

Anyway, this topic has been played out too much. We all know a R33 looks like a Magna. :)

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • 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.
