hey guys, i just wanted to share with everyone that skylines are so slow comparing it against a 2003 wrx. last nite my cousin let me drive his wrx and its hell fast compared to the gts4 turbo (r32). the wrx has a 3inch exhaust from the turbo and it sounds so swt....... the boost kicks in hard and i mean real hard at 3500 rev. man i fink im gonna get myself a wrx instead nows. i thought the RBs where good but nothing drives and handles like da WRX!!!

Well if takes Subaru 14years to build a car that makes you happy!! Good for you... "14years too late" As funky would say:

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TWO DECADES AGO

You're comparing an R32 gts4 to a WRX??? dollar for dollar compare it to a R33 GTR "but you really don't have to go that far, you could compare it with a GTsT 33 at half the price"...then tell me what makes you smile. But yes, the boxer note is a beautiful sound, which can be deceiving and be confused with power :)

Personally I couldn't care less if its faster -- BMI did a comparison where even the R34 GT-Rs were close to being beaten by the latest Evo/WRX Spec-C -- it looks like a $20k econobox on the inside and there is so much room for additional power out of a Skyline. Try that in a WRX without blowing your gearbox.

Anyway, obviously a troll

LW.

Dude - I own a skyline and a MY03 rex. The rex is a nice car with a bit of kick and fun to chuck around but the skyline is a weapon.

Having said all that if I had to choose between an R32 GTST4 and an MY03 rex I'd choose the rex - but not for the reasons you mentioned. More because its a near new car and hence would be a better buy. But if we are talking money wise then an MY03 is comparable to an R33 GTR and the skyline would win hands down.

hahah go easy on him, he's made a mistake, sure, you guys are harsh :P

as its been said here (if you ever come back to read this thread?)

compare it with something a little better... My R33GTR would be a better comparison price wise.. its 10 years old (even older technology), and it makes wrx's (well all that i have lined up against) look like they are standing still, subaru's also have problems with understeer... but i agree they have the misconception that they make you feel like your going fast (especially with the exaust) and feel like they handle good... put it against a GTR, or even a half decent gtst

as snowman said, new wrx vs 15 year old r32, i'd be temped by the wrx as well, newer car etc...

Right... Well an R32 GTS-t is better. And it gets better from there. You said "Skylines are slow"

But I would like to see you go up against and R34 GTR N1 even in a 22B . . .

That said an R32 GTR stock would beat a 2003/2004 WRX. ( Track. 1/4 Mile )

As it has been said: "It's all about the chop chop" :bananaman :bananaman

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
