33 gtr drifting? awesome documentary :D

gtrs in my understanding are fkin king of tracks (bathurst anyone?)

infact..

32gtr should have won due to OWNING bathurst and getting kicked out lol

but 34gtr is i reckon the hottest sexiest beast of the skylines

R32 GTR should have been in that documentary, because as a sports car, its the best one out of all of them. Having said that, I chose the 33 out of reliability (not as old), looks, and price. Still, would take a 33 GTR over a 32 GTR.

In the end, its personal opinion. Everyone's is different

cant believe some of the cars in the top 10, miata @ 2??? 911 in first?? funny how they said the skyline is tunable from the factory, it isnt, but they had a power FC in there, so it becomes adjustable!! wat a bunch of idiots!! i would of said GT40 for first, because of racing pedigree!!

yeah r33 totally suck

i mean,

who would want 500cc more engine capacity

larger standard turbo

tougher gearbox

bigger brakes

battery in boot

total peices of crap. burn them alive I say.

I just can't seem to figure out why there are more on the roads then the god-like 32. :)

Those facts are great.

The R33's turning circle is double the R32, and with its extra 500c and bigger turbo and more awesomez it only gets to 100 0.32 seconds faster, and down the quater mile 0.4 seconds ahead of the smaller, weaker, not as good, obsolete R32.

With all that aside, the list is a fail, not for the R33, just for the rest of the list.

Doesn't the RB20 run 10 psi boost vs 7 psi on the RB25?

The 33 GTST is basically the 'drift' version of the 33 GTR. :D

Turning circle is crucial for Taxis. :P

Steering lock is also good for DRIFT, but hey, with 4 doors, you get LOOOOTS of lock, awesome for getting the cutomer to the airport on-time.

Don't you smoke crack?

Dunno what R32's run, Cefiro's run lower boost from the factory, so I dunno, somebody with a decent Skyline can answer that question for you.

Lack of boost is combatted by extra displacement, newer technology, oh, and those great turbo's and injectors and ECU and all the other goodies R33s have which R32s don't.

This thread is ammusing. Waves of brainless sheep praising their cars because some b-grade footage said they're awesome. Not exactly anything new though.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
