the new guy

[matress]

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

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 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.

do you have any 1/4 mile times for each model or power and weight figures? i tried looking it up on drive.com.au (usually it has spec's for most cars) but didnt have anything for skylines!

is the R34 GTT RB25DET restricted in anyway to keep it below 206kw?
