ive never driven a R33 but it does seem it has more torque at the start than a R32. however once the R32 hits 3revs and over it lets u know its a skyline!!! :D

same would apply for a R33... but in a straight line launch you wouldn't start from below 3,000rpm

R33's are faster.. have more room, and are more modern.

R32's are more compact, feel more sporty, and have more direct and better handling

I've owned both, and the R32 already feels much better. With an RB25 engine, it would clearly be the fastest and better handling car.

I have both an R33 & R32 sedan with FMIC,3" from turbo, T/s plumbback, on both, the 33 is quicker and feels alot more refined but for those sideways adventures and tight corners the 32 feels much more responsive.

The 33 is now running lowered spings and both have camber & caster adj. bushes set up for sport and the 33 only just comes close to the feel of the 32.

Never raced them together(can't drive 2 cars at once)so I'm going by speed and feel on same stretch of road.

stock the 33 won hands down for being quicker.

Yeah i totally agree, the R32 makes up for its sportyness feel. Here in the NT we have no speed limits on the main highway and i pushed my R32 all the way and its got superb handling, all 4's stick to the road.

My experience in the past

My R32 used to run 12.5psi and made ~150rwkw with only an exhaust.

A friend with an R33 was running 11psi with a pod and exhaust.

The R32 used to pull away from the R33. Not by much but it was slightly quicker.

My R32 also used to sit dead smack even with another friends dead stock R33 GTR (Stock exhaust and all)

BUT... Once you begin to fiddle with the ecu on the R33's they leave the R32's for dead.

Dead stock R32 vs dead stock R33, the R33 is quicker.

Very mild exhaust and boost R32 vs very mild exhaust and boost R33, the R32 is quicker.

I put this down to the ECU in the R32 handling the mods a little better than the R33 as the R33's tend to have slight power dips and run very much rich!

Your R33 was manual, and your R32 is auto.. You can't compare them really Gordo.

My R32 vs unknown R33 I found on a *private straight part of road* I won by a half car length. I only made 140rwkw as well.

I’ll admit once you start and play with the R33 more, it’s a quicker car, but with the normal basic bolt on’s – The R32 is quicker IMHO.

ive got a r32 gtst and my bro has a s2 r33 gtst

overall id easily rather do up an r33 ... its just soo much nicer on the inside plus dual airbags... havent driven a stock r32 for handling but mines on teins and it handles like a gun the steering on my brothers feels a bit airy but i think we aftermarket suspension it would handle fine

we are both putting out about 190rwkw and when we raced he beat me on the start got a lot of wheelspin but after shifting to 2nd the r32 took off ahead but mines pretty heavily modded

but if your cashed up go a late model r33

I was mainly getting at how they are to drive, the handling, the "feel" of driving and sitting in one, not necessairly the straight line performance. Through the mountains the other night, the R32 was much better totally stock, and crappy auto as well.. than the handling of my old R33 ever was.

anyhow, the r32 will be manual soon enough..

I'm going to stick the RB25 turbo on the r32 in a month or so.. that will be interesting.. as the stock 32 turbo is a bit too undersized for the engine.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
