well this has been covered a lot, and a search can help you with many OPINIONS, but its all up to YOU

comparing stock cars...

difference between R32 gtst and R33 gtst:

R32 is 2.0L turbo, lighter

R33 is 2.5L turbo, heavier

--> as a result, the R33 is slightly faster, but the R32 handles slightly better

then it comes down to looks...

which one do you like better?

I personally think the R33 looks fat and rounded, while the R32 is sleek and more sporty. Others disagree and love the R33 and hate the R32

then it comes to modifications...

do you plan to do any?

From what has been posted on these forums it seems R33's make power a bit easier than the R32's for the same money.

Now, for the insurance...

insurance will be HIGH for both cars. if you are in melb forget the R33 as its illegal to drive on your P's, and any insurance will be voided if you are at fault in an illegal car...

Full comp might be $3k at a guess

3rd party about $700ish at a guess

under parents name? no idea. not good for your rating though as you don't build one when under parents name (i think)

and finally... you are 17 so please be careful on the road with whatever car you decide to purchace.

So if you have listened to the above, then listen to this:

DON'T DRIFT.... pelase! you won't afford the tyres, replacement engine and body parts, and you will damage either yourself or others whilst trying on the street. when you are older and have experience on the road then other manouvers mgiht come into play then.

schumacker didn't drive a ferrari at the age of 17 did he? he learnet first - he crashed, broke bones, learned from his mistakes. then when he was older he ruled the world!

have fun,

Warren.

ok well firstly, lookin at your age, and you are still young, and im guessin you are limited in money. so i would suggest a r32, only cause its cheaper.. It all depends on your budget, so let us know how much you wanna spend.. also what are you intentions in owning a skyline, like you want it only for drags, driftin, crusin etc etc??? U said you wanna know which drifts better.. I assume, stock vs stock, a r32..

If you wanna the difference between a r32 and r33, its been covered a billion times, so i suggest you search..

It all comes down to personal taste in the end and your budget..

hmm about insurance, best is to ask the companies.. would be same if u have a r32 or r33.. well also the fact if its a turbo or non-turbo..

hope that helps a little..

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
