R32, and even a GTR if you want to/can go that far ;)

Mate of mine has an s15 and it's really nice to drive. Still prefer an R32 though.

If I was in your situation and hadn't driven an s15 before i'd go take one for a test drive before making a decision.

R33. Sort of like what Nissan did when they ran out of ideas. The only thing they did right was put in the RB25, and they really should have put that in the R32 and gone a 3L in the R33. Ugly arse Magna front added to ugly arse Maxima rear end and the distance between the back edge of the doors and the front of the rear wheel arch is visually too long and makes the car look stupid from the side, and heavy. And the fact that it looks heavy just suits the fact that they are heavy.

The only other desirable parts of an R33 are the gearbox, brakes and front suspension's upper arms, and you can transplant 2 of those 3 into an R32 anyway.

R32 with the GTSt bonnet and grille look kinda weak, but the lower weight and increased chuckability make up for it a lot. Plenty out there with RB25 transplants for not much coin.

The R33 is an awesome base. Its cheap and fun to make into a really fast car.

Silvias are good fun also, and are cheap to make into a quick car, but once the major power bug bites you will be limited.

Go the R33 :) It wont let you down.

I loved my 33. I personally think aesthetically they are (or at least can be) very tough looking. I also found it a very fun car to drive, more fun that pretty much every car I've owned apart from one of my Datsun 1600s. Nothing will top that :)

My advice is go for it. R33s are fantastic cars.

heavy and common as!

Not sure I agree with you there. Common, well, I wouldn't call a car you might see once a day on average common, but I suppose they are more common than other such cars. not sure that's necessarily a bad thing.

As for heavy? I wouldn't call 1400kgs for a 6 cylinder turbo coupe with all the fruit (strong box, good brakes and so on) heavy. Have you ever driven a 33 in anger? They are very nimble and well behaved.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
