hey guys,

just wanted to introduce myself firstly, im new here, i currently own a series II rx7 which is for sale, and I'm looking at getting a skyline to replace it.

I was speaking to one of the guys from rank rotary, here in melbourne and he said skyline's are unbeatable for strength and performance from the factory. sounds good to me! i've gotten sick of replacing diffs in my rx!

Im just wondering about the different between r32 gts-t's and r33 gts-t's. i know the r32 has the rb20det and the r33 has the rb25det, but what is the difference in weight, power and torque? he was saying to me last night that the r32's are a bit heavy for their motor.

also, another thing im curious about, r32 gts-4's... any opinions relating to these? 4 wheel drive sounds good, are the full time four wheel drive or can u switch between front / rear / 4wd? what are the drivelines like in them?

sorry about all the questions, but i have never really researched skylines at all

thank you for your patience,

mat :rofl:

ps. if you want to have a look at my rx7 for sale, check here:

You will find that a lot of people prefer the R32's (for the look/handling) and a lot prefer the R33's (for the look and better engine).

I myself am an R33 boy because I think they look better, they are newer, they are more powerful and have a better engine to work with. But when it comes down to it, both are fantastic cars and your best bet would be to have a drive in both of them (stock/modified) and see what you think as asking on a forum will only get you mixed answers based on people's personal preferences.

Summary: Both are as good as eachother :D It all comes down to personal preference.

As you climb the RB engine hierachy obviously there will be more potential for the car. You might also want to keep the following in mind:

- The RB20 has quite a few more common & interchangable parts with the RB26.

- All the engines in the RB range can be replaced & mixed'n'matched (hybrid) with one another.

But, stock for stock, despite the R32 being lighter I believe the R33 has it by a whisker down the 1/4 mile. Specs can be found here:

You would be hard pressed to break the diff in the Skyline's, you would need too be running some high power numbers before changing them.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
