a 99 rex is a lot faster in a straight line than a r33, both being stock. the rex is faster both on the road and obviously can launch harder.

if you think a rex has a shit top end, then so does a gtst they both die off at high revs(turbos too small)

just as a sort of related example, a friend had a stock 01 rex(bug eyed shape, slower than 99) and he ran 14.0 @ 100mph, slipping the clutch on the start (not a redline dump)

a stock gtst isnt anywhere near as quick.

(and i have had 2 gtst's)

I recently finished this project:

CONVERSION:

2000 Forrester (stock)- 96 WRX Engine (Front cut) 12psi = 120KW at the wheels

The older WRX's still used the same turbo but they had larger compressor housings giving them better top end.

This forrester has nothing down low but when it winds up it'll walk past a stock WRX!

This said I think the newer model WRX would have a tough time keeping up with the lighter R33 with less top end in a street situation even the older pre 96 WRX's would be struggling.

Reality is, in two so evenly matched cars the biggest decider is driver :wassup:

Maxx, the modded rexys you ran can't of been very modded at all. 180 atw is easy to get from em and being lighter than you they will pull on you pretty easy.

The 96 rexys had a different turbo too, it had more top end than the 97 onward rexys.

The current model rexes (03-04-05)are actually the fastest (and heaviest) wrx's made so far.

99's are sposed to have 160 kw at the fly too, not 180ish (i think) like the 33gtst's have.

stock 33's are around 150-160 (I think) :confused:

Hey peeps here my 2cents.. I had a go against a 98 model WRX my mods were FMIC 3in turbo back runing 11psi agint the WRX turbo back Carbon bonnet running 13psi (in controlled conditions.. both running in street tyres... first run i beat him by Half a bonnet second was pretty close too wasnt able to pull away neith was he.. maybe if i only haad 1/4 tank of petrol instead of full LOL

every lil bit helpsss haha

stop being narrow minded skyline owners.

rough numbers.

wrx = 1300kg with 160kw

r33 = 1350kg with 187kw

so power to weight is close but add 4wd and then measure them in a proper place (400m) and the skyline will lose.

no doubt.

and to make it fair, use the same year model for both. 96, 97 whatever.

Yeah, the (goodness) ranking is something like this:

1. GTR

2. WRX

3. GTST

    • I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.
    • Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...
    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
