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

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
