I took a Nissan R33 1994 GTST for a test drive, was an Auto and I didnt think an Auto would be that great at all.. Little did I know it totaly kicked ass$ss, Turbo kicked in at the normal 3500rpm and I almost wet myself, torque, gear changes in the Auto everything was awesome. I joined this forum the very next day.

Mods it had = 3" exaust + Filter

Im now about to get a GTST R33 within the next week.

Hmm, well my first was a stock standard R33 Gts-t, was not modified...the guy bought a lemon basically, was in really bad condition, anyway, he let me take it for a spin...

i really like the way it sat on the road, it seems to be a very predictable chassis, controllable oversteer and great "bum feel" hehe...i diddn't mind it, just not enough usable power band IHMO...so as for power and torque, it wasnt very surprising...

Second, however was a really sckmik orange with gold pearl R32 Gts-t in QLD, hmm nice, was high flowed and suspension work, upped boost, now that was a nice machine, liked the torque and power of that let me assure you...

Orange R32

...speaking of which, does any1 know this car or the owner may be on the forum???

so now i have stepped up once again, and am soon to have my 32 GTR :( i just love the thrust back you get in the seat of a skyline :) hehe, why would you want to drive anything else...

Firsy time(w/turbocharged skyline) was about 3-4 months ago....

- R32 GTS-t w/RB25DET, stock boost, only mods were exhaust & POD Filter

- I couldnt believe how quick and stable this thing was! Biggest supprise! The feeling of boost coming on was awesome! So stable, even with stock suspension tramlined around tight turns fast.....I was smiling all day after that...hehe :( (Now gonna be on the lookout for an R32 GTS-t end of year/start of next yr - SO BEAUTIFUL)

my first ride in a skyline, was in an R32 GTS-t, totally stock exept for an exhaust and 12psi boost. It was raining that day so we had the tail out everywhere! I was previously looking for a 180SX after a mate took me for a ride in one, but the skyline changed my mind instantly. So yeah, the power and torque really blew me away. The stability and handling was very impressive too. I was hooked and within 2 months i'd bought my own!

thats excellent to hear champ, my mate bought a stock 180, which is now heavily modded, its awesome, but im super happy with my skyline, they are awesome cars. just take care of it and yourself and you'll get along fine.

cheers

The first time I drove a skyline was a mates he had and Red 95 GTST, before this I new of skylines but hadn’t really payed attention to them until this night. We had like 4 people in the car, and when I put the foot down and felt myself being pushed into the seat and could hear the turbo spooling up, I was buzzing, I loved it. Then again after driving a telstar for 5 years anything would seam quick. It was only running about 10psi and exhaust was a little bigger then standard. When I jumped out I said to my self I’m getting a skyline my mind was made up. My mates kept on telling me “get a VP SS or VS SS”. But how much can you do to a commodore.

Have never looked back. Go the SKYS

my first was a stock 33gtst and i was so disappointed its was guttless because it was a fresh import from the car yard.

my mate convinced me to try a few more the next was 33gtst with exhaust pod and 10 pounds then i was impressed....

now i own 2........ mmm skylines

oh-ho-yeah... the first was my GT-R32... such fun.

what can i say... im addicted to boost. its almost stock, but on a cold night, it feals like an F1 racecar...

one of the first times i opend it up, i remember like it was a week ago... hang on a sec, it was... i know it was stupid, but i just had to. i was fanging it, and i got up to about 170 and realized what i am doing, then backed off. the G.O. and the WHO are amazing

In 2001 I was introduced to full throttle on a 750hp midnight purple r33 GTR, which the owner paid a cool $130,000 for.. It was a nutcase, and also the first r33 skyline i'd ever seen, i knew nothing about skylines and had no idea Nissan could make something so bonkers! That was then.. :(

first one i drove was an R33 auto (didn't want an auto, but they were shoving the keys at me so i thought, why not) and it felt good but i couldn't really give it bit..

second one was a manual R33 and he let me take it out on a back road - and this was the first time i actually put my foot down in a turbo skyline and OMG!! I knew I'd made the right choice :(:D

ordered one thru an importer soon after ;)

First time was back in 2001ish in an R33 GTST with front mount, huge exhaust, hi-flow/aftermarket turbo and boost controller. The thing hammered, and I knew I definately had to have a skyline after.

About a year later I still didnt have my skyline and went for a ride in an R32 GTR with N1 turbos, exhaust, front mount. That thing scared me sh!tless and 12 months later I had my own R32 GTR sitting in the garage (now running ~330kw at the wheels).

first time was in JETT R32 GTR That ran a 10.8!! FARKKK./.. i think it went by me.. arr fark $hit... and grabbing the door handle.. im sure mirko could confirm that hehe .. hsit myself.. i got abit of whiplash! well shock mostly.. makes me want a big single but i went for the n1s for the street... big single on drag though.. slams you back...

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
