For mild mods the R32 is cheaper.

As soon as you want some serious power you have to spend much more $$ on another engine and gearbox.

Just those mods alone send the price of the 32 over the 33.

But yer.. I like the 32's nice and smallish, good for Uni. ;)

Remember, faster isn't always better. I would buy for the GTS4 for two reasons:

1) It wasn't a povo-pack GTS4 like the R33/34 versions. It got all the good fruit from the GT-R.

2) R33s are common ;)

Only weak link is the engine IMHO (/me suits up waiting for flames from RB20 lovers): the extra weight from the 4WD system will take the edge of performance.

But larger displacement RBs are not exactly expensive, so there is a lot of room for increasing performance.

LW.

yea i was thinking that the awd will weigh it down more but with good traction at take off at the lights, the beast should do well up to 120kmph before a r33 will catch up. what do u guys think?? i just something that goes up quick to about 140ish....... ill be getting the r32 in about a months time and with extra cash left over, i was planning to get new cams, power fc and a turbo up grade.....im stilling finking of which turbo to get. :flamed:

cant wait!!! :headspin:

I wouldn't bother with a cam upgrade, but I would do the following.

PowerFC

Fuel pump

GT2530 turbo or the new Garret GT3071R http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=43864

Adjustable Cam gears and Maybe a set of GTR cams

It would fly, definately quick for od Traffic light grand prix. ;)

Traffic light grand prix seem to be quite common here in Adelaide,

I have no problem with it providing people do it sensibly, problem is you can trust your self to be sensible but you can't trust the other person too.

There is no need to do 140km/h, 0-80 or some times 0-100 depending where it is.

Don't go doing it down Anzac Highway that is just plain stupid, too many cars.

I've had a little squirt with some nice cars, one being a new ferrari (who drove like a boy racer) a Diablo VT (Red one which was very very loud and very quick) one very very quick R33 GTST Skyline (which was quicker than the Diablo and Ferrari)

Traffic light grandprix can be dangerous.

Not because you can hit some one but because you don't know what the other person will do.

There was a mid 30year old block that had been tailgating me to the point where I was unable to see his wiper blades. We turned on to a 3 laned 80km/h road, with no traffic. We pulled up at the next set of lights, he continued to rev his car acting like a dick.

I brought the rev's up a little and zipped off putting an easy few car lengths on him by the time I was almost out of second. I short shifted in to third then fourth then fifth sitting on 80-90km/h.

I then looked back and could hear him winding his old tank out through the gears when he passed me what felt like easy over 120km/h.

He continued to accelerate flat stick.

I lost sight of him as I went around a big sweeping corner, after getting back on a straight the first thing I saw was him roughly 1km ahead and a 4wd with a trailer pulling out in front of him as to head in the opposite direction.

He swerved right then left again, his rear wheel clipped the medium strip sending him in to a 100m slide (I measured it)

He cam to rest on the medium strip, he only just nudged a tree but it was enough for a branch to break and drop on his bonnet.

I thought to my self, what a friggin dick head.

Imagine if he had killed him self or some one else.

I would feel quilty as hell and most probably would share the responsibility for the accident.

    • Been poking around on the new to me car. I've determined that I have a Kakimoto exhaust from at least the downpipe back (I haven't confirmed the downpipe yet). It has a catalytic converter. Other than the company branding on the exhaust tip, I can only find one other marking. Behind the cat and under the car is a plate that has the numbers "NF307FP" and "M11111". Unfortunately, the Kakimoto website is written in Japanese and my browser won't translate it. I found that Nengun sells the brand, but my exhaust doesn't look like their current offering. They do indicate that each pipe is custom made, but I assume that's more of an inventory control thing than some sort of special, vehicle specific tuning. Anyone have a guess about what I have here? I'm getting ready to throw some dollars at tuning this car, but want to make good decisions. No reason to throw out a perfectly good exhaust system, if this thing will equal a full custom build.
    • Congrats on the progress. That's got to feel good to get the build done/mostly done. Now that you're this deep into it, I'm curious if you'd do it again versus finding a 5MT from the get go?
    • G.G.C. (Gibier German Cook) restaurant in Motomachi in Kobe: A tiny 2 floor restaurant that was founded in 1976. The original couple who owned/ran it retired and sold the business to a corporation who pretty much tried to keep it the same as it was.  Lots of lesser known (to me anyway) German beers available.  Venison with vegetables. The meat came from deer from Hokkaido. The chef told us that there's a whole industry around the use of all parts of the deer from the antlers to the hooves. Sure enough, directly accross the street from this restaurant is a shop that sells all manner of utensils, clothes and objet d'art all made from deer skin, bones and horns.... also owned by the same corporation. The venison was super tender 😋 Various decorations, a lot of which were quite old, no doubt from the original owners. A nice pilsner too which I'd never seen before.  It's well worth a visit but check the opening hours, they're closed on Wednesdays, only open 11:30am - 3pm on Mondays and Tuedays, 11:30am-3pm for lunch and 5pm-11:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 11:30am-3pm and 5pm-9pm on Sundays. Last order is 30mins before close.
    • Yep around 2m long or thereabouts.  I made another post in the photo diaries 17 years later lol. I swear it has not been that long!
