Hey Girls

I need your opinions

As most of your are aware I am now carless with some money saved and after 7 months of being skylineless (oh how it hurts) I am ready to step back into the wet warm slippery (ohhh god i need a girlfriend) depths of skyline heaven

So what are your recomendations

I have currently these options avail to me

Get another R33 (too many around)

Get myself a cheap R32 Gts4-Turbo (as i cannot afford the full zilla)

for about 12K

J-spec (not P) will be importing it when they become avail in august to import

does anyone have any experience on how a r32 handles compared to a r33? i know the interior is shit but all the pictures i see are usually bad quality

thanks guys your advice, is appreciated

P.s GTR zilla saw you the other day at maccas, sorry for stalking you

don't get a GTS4 R32, its a really bad car handling wise, its not as maneuverable as the GTSt and its not as powerful as the GTSt. It has better grip but without proper GTR style ATESSA it'll work against you. You'd be better off settling for a GTSt.

One of the guys from j-spec bought a R32 1989 4 door for 1 Yen... hehe that's around 1.2c :D importing it here turned out to be prettycostly compared to that tho ;p

I'd also be of the opinion that without serious work, the GTS4 will be underpowered compared to a stockish gts-t.

find an r32 s-t with rb25det transplant.....or worse.....

If I was looking to buy another nissan at around that price I'd be thinking something mega cool.... while the 89 rules still exist. Leopard/cima/laurel/iron mask/ceffy.

Mate for 15G's dont waste your time on a r32 or a r33.....

If I was you I would look at getting a VL Calais Turbo with a RB26 Trasplant - theres a few going around. They look awesome, have the luxo interior and the power of a rb26.......

Can be had for 10-15g's....

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
