I was reading some of the rice vs non rice threads and i have come to the conclusion that all r33s are rice, Because if they actually wanted a real performance car, they would have bought an r32. Insted of just a car that looks like a performance car.

hehe

oh well just a little dig just trying to start some feeling for the 4 6s and rotory day, rb20 vs rb25, let the fun begin

Mine isn't.

It's an 'all aussi' nationalised migrant (minus the roo-bar, open roof for shooting, offroad tyres and spotties).

I've got dents that are over 2years old red dust all underneath (from driving on unsealed roads) and stock appearance.

Like the pintara style, nothing like bringing down the rev-head posers with a 'sleeper' family car. :D

ive got nothing against 32's, i quite like em actually, but dont they improve things with each model change?? thats what impression i was under anyway, learn from old mistakes, well not necassarily mistakes but just to better things, if they didnt think it was better why would they change it??

Good theory but not always true. U have to admit the 33 is more of a tourer while the 32 is a 'true' sports car.

hasn't the 2002 bug eyed wrx got less power than the ones before???

and agree'd about the 32 being more of a sports car, and the 33, well could class as a sports/tourer :lol:

What's the definition of a true sports car?

Therefore is an MX5 a True,True sports car?

Nissan in there wildest dreams would not claim any Skyline as a "True Sports Car" ....Sporting yes.

Nissan badge their Skylines GT's translated from italian is Grand tourer so if the 33 is more of a tourer it is the better car than the 32 in your opinion boostzor ?

In my opinion car makers must improve each successive model overall or go out of business

Cheers

Note i said " 'true' sports car" not "true sports car" i reckon there is a difference.

IMHO a 'true sports car' is light, powerful (good power to weight), RWD or 4wd and has a wide/low wheelbase.

Left wing being sports and right wing being tourer i would have to say while the 33 is left of centre the 32 is more so. Well thats what i reckon anyhow.

I'm not too sure about that dude... i do recall crashtzors cruise (the night of his demise!) some time ago where i had a small run againt the pintara (RB20LagWagon0 i was in front by a bit but only marginally... since then i have had a few mods done... even if RB20Lagwagon has done mods then he will have to spend a few $$$ giving Killer T ago, i know Killer T could whip me even now that i have spent a few $$$ on mine...

I dunno your list of mods RB20Lagwagon but they would have to be a lot to give Killer T a go.

I have no doubt that RB20Lagwagon is quick skyzer but it would take a bit to beat Killer T

thats exactly what i thought, they wouldn't change something if it didn't need improving, they would try new things and test new things and implement the changes on the newer models.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
