Virgin poster...beware

have decided early next year im going to step out of my EL Ford Fairmont (was going to turbocharge it) and buy something Japanese. Im basically dead set on either a R33 GTSt or R32 GTR (under 15 year rule, would probably try find a GTSt locally)

What is the best way to go about this? I would be after the one that's the most fun, easiest to work on, easiest to get running a low 13/high 12 quarter reliably, and the one thats easiest to toodle around town in. And the one that easiest on fuel.

Cheers.

both probably the same on fuel depending on how you drive.

I bought a r33 but am regretting it a bit as they are a bit big in comparison to the 32 (to drive that is) and if you get a gtr you can get a lot more grunt for your money.

Some blokes on this forum are getting 260rwkw at the wheels with stock turbos - you wouldn't get that in a fit with a r33 gtst.

I had a lot of trouble looking for a mint 32 though so went the 33.

Patience is the key!

Mate, my personal opinion is if you want a performance car the 32GTR is the pick over the 33GTST. But if you are more interested in cruising around etc, and HAVE to drive the car every single day you may prefer the 33 as they are a much newer, more refined car. 32GTR's are the sh1t though, I love 'em :D

remember if you dont have much money to spend on maintenance dont get the gtr, gtst's are very cheap to fix in comparison and a lot less to go wrong.

in my position, i would get a 33gtst series 2..

even if i had lots of $$ for maintenance i probably wouldnt get a 32gtr, id save up or watever and buy a 33gtr.

gtst and gtr will both drink lots of petrol depending on your driving :)

    • 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?
