R32 Vs R33

[adzi_metallica]

Hey guys i dont currently own a skyline but was looking into getting one......the two im looking at are the r33 and r32's gtst.....now my mate has a mkii falcon xr6turbo.......simple........i want to beat him.......the r33's look better (with the 400r bodykit which id put on) but the r32 is lighter if im not mistaken......ontop of the actualy price of the car i was not looking at spending more then 10-12k on mods to beat him......hopefully get into very low 13's or higher 12's on da 1/4....if this is not possible i guess i'll have to go EvoII

Thanks guys

cant belive i am saying this but if you want to beat him get an r32 swap the engine out with either a rb25det or rb26dett get some suspension work done and a few other goodies and thats a good start

[DLuded]

have to start of by saying metallica is the best band in the world

secondly, if ur mate a an XR6T you really wont have to spend a lot of money on either a r32 or r33 gtst to beat it. get an exhaust, cooler, fuel pump, injectors (or fuel regulator), chip the ECU and upgrade the turbo and you will hammer him. after all this you will have heaps of money left

and the debate of r32 vs r33 has been going on for ages. it all comes down the personal prefernce

[Tommyk]

just get a gtr

[benl1981]

if its all about beating him get a rex and mod it.

Not sure how you would go but all comes down to getting the skylines off the line.

[Cubes]

The R33's run low 13's when an exhaust, fmic, powerfc and a bit of boost.

Some have even managed a high 12 sec pass with a well sorted rear end.

Grab your self a decent R33 with an exhaust and possibly fmic, drop in a powerfc and it will be running the times you want.

Providing you can drive that is. lol

Those XR6T's can launch pretty hard off the mark.

If you can't drive you'd better go the 4wd.

[adzi_metallica]

Well i was thinking of if i were to get one....(r32 or r33) put in exhaust, fmic, sard injectors, fuel regulator, to4 turbo (dont know which spec yet but one with good mid-high torque/power with steel ball bearings), and either chip or full stand alone...plus cams and valve springs seeing as the head makes all the power.......also how much approx is it to rebuild an rb motor with lets say forged rods, pistons and balanced crank etc

screw gettin a Rex, ull get hammered shitless on the freeway by an xr6 turbo, plus not have as much cash left over for mods to try to keep up... dont want that. But as it was said, if your a bad driver the 4wd will help from the traffic lights and will give u a large advantage over him.

Get whichever you prefer looks wise as both the 32 and 33 will deliver fine especially if you plan on putting 10k + into power mods into the beast!! You'll be running low 13s easy as in both cars.

do you see the word freeway in there?

no

do you see the word 1/4 in there?

yes

will the rex beat a xr6t on "da 1/4"

yes

what car R33 v R32?

I prefer R32.

the money on mods that you say you want to spend you could build a wicked engine (doesn't have to be an rb20... go read the rb30 thread up the top of this forum)

that will destroy many a car on "da 1/4"

xr6t = 1700+kg

r33 = 1350 kg

r32 = 1260 kg

unless you really make some wise decisions with both the R33 and the R32.. $10k won't get you far on either.. and you'll be disappointed in the end.

just get something with traction.. second hand VR4+$10k on mods.. easy plate hander..

[TTT]

*shudders at VR4.*

take my advice..

don't get one.

the EVO II idea might be a goer if you can find one in good condition.

good luck with that search

What cubes said.

[xRHETTx]

simple........i want to beat him

Then just get a big, heavy stick.

Seriously, decide what you want, then do it. With $20k to spend on a car and mods, youll be able to kill him.

My opinion, to really piss him off, get an R31 GTSX import (still eligable under the now 16 year rule) with an engine upgrade (either rb25 or rb26).

[wrxkilla]

Evo II would be a far better choice than gtst in my opinion.

mick

[TTT]

quiet evo boy!!!

[psybic]

Look at tradingpost!!!!!

Why are you bothering getting a GTSt if you already have the plan to mod it. Start with a GTR.

R32 GTR's going for around 23K with a few goodies, saw a black one with N1 turbos and a claimed 250KW @ wheels (something like that).

Get something that already goes fast so you know what you are getting into the day you buy it.

[wheels_24]

I am with psybic just spend a little more on buying the car and less on the mods a R32 GTR goes for around 22k - 23k with a few goodies and then if you have to just add powerfc, wolf 3d so you are able to fine tune then a fmic if doesn't have one. Little bit of boost you will eat him alive that way you get a better car in my mind and you might only have to spend 3 - 4k instead of your 10k

[liber8_d]

What happens if the mate has a APS Phase II kit on his Ford? 300kw atw

Like all the other guys said, a well sorted R32 or R33 would kill a (standard) XR6T. Just get upgraded turbo, cooler, fuel supply and computer (easily under $10k).
