Skyline GTR vs FD3S RX7

R32/R33/R34 GTR vs FD3S RX7

I am in the process of searching Japan for a 33 GTR, though the thought has crossed my mind as to whether to go for a Series 8 RX7.

Speaking to plenty of friends within the import scene, a lot of them seem to think dollar for dollar the RX7 is the pick of the bunch....as its lighter, handles like a go-kart & straight out of the box will generally leave a GTR for dead.

Who has driven both and which do you prefer, and why....

Personally I would pick the GTR, they appear to be going up in value (34 especially). I have never driven either so I can't compare practically. Good luck with the decision.

Value can be applied to the RX7 too, which are heavily rising also. Both are great cars, honestly it's a win/win no matter which car you pick.

I'd take an RX7 over a 32/33 but an R34 over the RX7.

I feel like GTRs are past the point of where they are good value for money, much better options available. If this was 2-3 years ago, I'd say pick up a clean Series 3 R33. 

I'd go an Evo or an RX7 over a R32/R33 GTR, and having driven a R33 GTR I think you'd be underwhelmed with the result.

RX7 faster around Wakefield with less or next to no mods.

Also, plenty of 1/2JZ swap kits from all mounts/shafts/exhaust and wiring. Literally plug and play.

You mean LS? lol

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
