I was saying that because you dont see much 33's posted up on prestige ....

one reason i think that is because why import a R33 if you can get one here ?

just my 2 cents.

What the hell? You think people are going to stop buying GTR's because a freaking Lancer is now able to be imported.

You are nuts.

:headspin:

That prestige one looks like the engine got water all over it

$45,000 for that?

33GTRs are only $35,000 if you look, not that it matters, but they need to be a similar price to 'phase' out the 33GTR

i dont understand the 4 doors either, maybe they wanted a longer wheelbase, but even then just extend the driver cabin back etc

If you have bonnet vent that is what happens, what did you expect?

Price wise E7 are newer and BCNR33 are old, nothing to do with performance...that's just how the market works. E7 internally are...stronger rods, pistons etc which owners of earlier evos are sourcing to drop into their evos...saves $$$ buying JUN or HKS stuff.

And don't hate the Evo because it chops GT-Rs around the circuit. That is a fact, no one doubts that. Could it be because the Evos run wider F/R track than the puny GT-Rs :D...who just run wide fenders to make it look wide :D. Most famous time attack battle, Tsukaba...how many GT-Rs in the top 5 or 10 compared to how many Evos, not to mention the 2 GT-Rs there are Saurus BNR32 and the M Speed BNR34, the whale is an unloved child ;).

All seriousness, no one car is better and you learn to appreciate them all. Else you learn the hard way getting severely chopped, this is what you learn over here. Ever seen the HRF Starlet chop a BNR34 VSpec with 400+ps, HRF can built you a Starlet which runs 11s, hits a top speed of 298km/h with all work, parts including the cost of the car for only 1Mil Yen.

I love the look over the E7's over the E8's... definitely... very angular and almost clinical, but, don't have $45k... and would probably buy an R33 GTR or a *good* R34 GTT.

Evo_lee: but we're talking about street here, not heavily modified cars. :D Let's face it, the Evo's are relatively stuffed full electro-jiggery, compared to the GTR's. Yes, GTR's have super-hicas and altezza but considering that HICAS is generally thrown out for circuit work and altezza is on-demand 4wd compared to the Evo's full time AWD and the 'super' active yaw control, smart abs, etc, etc, it's easy to see why racing teams can really make them shuffle it around a circuit.

But... on the street, with $45k in your pocket... is the Evo actually faster than a GTR? I"m having a hard time believing it, at least in a straight line. .6L worth of capacity, an extra turbo, it's almost overwhelming in simple terms of 'I have more'. (But, as always, more than happy for people to proof me wrong. :D )

If I had $45k, it'd be an R33 GTR with suspension, two bigger turbos, fuel bits and maybe a better headunit. Or an R33 GTR and a trip to japan to see the country it was born in. ;)

Scriby, I never said a stock E7 was faster...as you all know the quickest stock GT-R is the BCNR33 with a 13.06s quarter, the BNR34 runs 13.4s. An E7 is actually slower then my Evo stock...E8 and E8.5 get her back up to 13.5s

True also the Atessa system in the GT-R is ancient these days, as I mentioned in another forum. Where they recently did a test for the best 25 4WD systems in Japan. The GT-R atessa system didn't even rate, but the new Nissan e-4WD came in 3rd behind the STi/Legacy 4WD system and the Evo AYC 4WD came out on top. They were judging on design and development.

Now that is not to say there is nothing good about the GT-R except for the RB26DETT, well depending on who you talk to. As you know the RB26DETT is a engine whore, owners will make the RB26 fit into anything :D. Some wierd engine conversions I have seen here. Bluebird RB26DETT 4WD...scarry.

As I always say you should always buy the car you like and whatever the purpose, I have an Evo because I wanted the space and practicality for outdoors like loading up for the snow field. Others may want a car to cruise, drag, circuit etc.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
