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.

Hope you eneded up gettin the GTS4 dude....

I never regreted getting mine, they love the hills in my opinion....

Go the 7000rpm launches too hehehe

Had many other imports be like WTF is it a GTR and i'm like na man RB20

They trip out hehe

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I agree with everything else, except (and I'm rethinking this as it wasn't setup how my brain first though) if the sensor is at the end of a hose which is how it has been recommended to isolate it from vibrations, then if that line had a small hole in, I could foresee potentially (not a fluid dynamic specialist) the ability for it to see a lower pressure at the sensor. But thinking through, said sensor was in the actual block, HOWEVER it was also the sensor itself that broke, so oil pressure may not have been fully reaching the sensor still. So I'm still in my same theory.   However, I 100% would be saying COOL THE OIL DOWN if it's at 125c. That would be an epic concern of mine.   Im now thinking as you did Brad that the knock detection is likely due to the bearings giving a bit more noise as pressure dropped away. Kinkstah, drop your oil, and get a sample of it (as you're draining it) and send it off for analysis.

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
