Ive been wanting a R33 OR R34 GTR for some time since I sold the gts25t.

Then came across the RX7 series 8. Has anyone compared the 2 cars. Not fussed about fuel economy, more so the difference in power delivery, driving pleasure and handling.

Im aware the gtr is more powerful, but in the real world is it actually faster?

Anyone had any first hand experience with problems with the rotary engine?

Im really undecided any help appreciated.

Cheers

Oz. :D

Drive them both first. Personally i'd prefer the RX7, they are said to be absolutely addictive. Plus it'd be a more practical daily driver(more luxuries etc) and would be just as quick as a GTR in everything except 1/4 mile sprints(and how often do you do that anyway?).

Depends on the level of modifications..

I believe the S8 has the oil problems sorted with the TT setup by then.

If you're looking at limited modifications, they're both going to be very reliable.

I've had a big hp 13BT before and they're definately a good thing, just need to look after it very closely. Im still a nissan man tho, which is why I still drive a GTR :D

If you are serious about your track performance, I'd go the RX7

I would go the R34, simply for the extra interior room. The FD is tiny inside.

My head touches the roof and I am not that tall!

I could never drive it with a helmet and that means no track days which means arrrrghhh!

    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
