Well I almost have enough cash to get either an r32 gtr or an r33 gtr. Now I'm not too worried about looks as I think they both look tops. I know the r32 weighs less (Don't know exactly how much less) but which car would you guys go if you wanted both speed and performance. What are the major performance pros and cons of each car? Any help with my decision would be great. I would like to hear from anyone who has raced or owned both of these cars to hear their point of view. Thanks. :D

it all depends what u really want from your car. if looks don't matter (and price too i think - since u didn't mention), then keep in mind that it'll be more likely to find a r33 gtr in better condition compared to r32 gtr, considering r32 age, and whether it's been trashed/dragged/raced in japan.

the r32gtr is still quite favourite in japan being a lighter car and with similar mods can outrun the r33gtr. also depends on how professionally the car was tuned in japan, it could mean between buying a ticking bomb or a real fast car. but this doesn't mean that r33 gtr has less performance potential. I believed nissan has improved the rb26 from r32 to r33 generation, so there should be some gain there to get the r33.

I'm looking at spending between 30k to 35k. The thing is i don't know about any of the differences between the rb26 generations and if any of the differences make gains in power. I guess in the end it all comes down to power to weight ratio. The car with the best ratio is always going to be faster and in this case its the r32.

30 - 35 k would get a very very nice R32 GTR mate :D

Yep, that amount of money would allow you to get a late model R32 GTR, so it should be in a better condition. But if you're buying in Japan, i'm not sure if anyone done R32 compliance under the new SEVS rule, otherwise try to find one locally.

I dont own nor have I ever driven a GTR but I've been a big fan for several years and intend to buy an r32 gtr next year. The 32 and 33 are very similar performance wise. Obviously the 32 is a fair bit cheaper than the 33 being an older model. I'd go with the 32 and with the cash you save do some mods if you want more power and possibly an engine rebuild as a precautionary measure. As I said I have no hands on expirience with either so my opinion might not be worth much.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
