I bought a R32 because they are less common than the R33s, and provide good bang for your buck. I love the shape, but now that we sold it, i don't know if i'd buy another one, unless it was a 32 GTR. Im actually kind of interested in a R33, as they have a better base for big HP, and are generally in cleaner condition due to age...

If we are talking GTR's then the 32 is better, less weight and a real race car.

If we are talking GTS-t's then the 33, better looks, engine and newer.

All skyline owners have a good thing, and I like all the cars, but some are better than others.

See'ya:burnout:

looks are personal prefference.

myself, 32 looks a shitload better than the 33's, alot more aggressive in its styling.. 33 was when rounded cars were coming into fashion. ergh.

but both are awesome, 33 is obviously newer, larger engine capacity.. i had to go for the 32 even though it was more expensive, (mods+condition) because

A> looks

B> you dont see any on the roads, you'd be lucky to have more than 20 in perth. there's more R's than T's.

The RB20DET starts to have trouble with lag as soon as you want 200+rwkw.

RB25DET is a much better base for power.

BUT.. I do like the R32 Interior a little better as personally I don't like the dash in the R33's or R34's. They seem a little plain, especially around the glove compartment.

If you don't want to run any quicker than a high 13 or around 190rwkw then a R32 is quick.

Exhaust, FMIC, Boost & a bit of timing she will be quicker than a R8 255LS1 Maloo Manual Ute. Well mine is I found out the other night.

When I say quicker I don't mean just beat him i mean pulling away through every speed and rev range.

RB25DET Turbo and boost to 16psi with a ECU remap will see around MAYBE 190rwkw most probably 180rwkw, honestly i don't know but its some where around there.

180rwkw is required in a R32 to out accelerate a 300kw GTS on a rolling run.

Which for the average joe is plenty.

like most ppl who opted for a 32 i do so cause i dont like the R33s awkward shape in stock form... i mean the high back end and low thin front. lines dont flow and its round and bulbous which is why they styled the R34 more on the R32... line flow right thru to the rear and is squarer not rounded.

200rwkw is probably more than i would go to at this point, i would be happy with about 170 or 180... ppl who say they buy the 33s over 32s cause they are newer really crack me.... the whole newer is better thing... even ppl who buy 93 model R33s say this lol on that sort of comment one would think that a 1969 mustang is worse than a 1980s mustang... comes down to preference, age is just something for those that are paranoid and wear nike cause its in fashion.

IMO

0.9 bar a lot for a stock turbo. I run 0.8 and I should turn it down on hot days as soon as I CBF using the EBC.

T.

if u have a good fmic your turbo will actually be running at 0.9 bar when u set the bleed, ebc cause with the stock cooler, especially on a hot day u get a huge pressure drop from turbo to intake so the tubo is actually running more then 0.9 bar at times to get 0.9 bar at intake.

and just to prove it i got 165kw@wheels at 0.5 bar when previously i was getting 155kw@wheels at 0.8 with stock cooler!

ahh ok so obviously the hotter the air the more space it occupies.

Hence pressure drop.

So when it is cooled from the FMIC the temperature change is greater compared to a cooler day.

So the air after the FMIC on a hotter day will be occupying a smaller area compared to that same charge on a cooler day.

Did i kind of make sense.

That is why with a bleeder you get less boost on warmer days compared to more boost when the air is cold and chilled.

Cool air can only be cooled so much I guess where as with the hotter air the heat exchange is better hence more effiecient.

I think thats what i was trying to say .. :D

Inasnt.. For some reason I've seen so many R33's make much more power once fitted with a FMIC and running the same boost.

With the R32's for some reason they stay around the same power maybe pick up a rwkw or two but nothing like 10 or 15rwkw like the R33's on the same boost.

Could this possibly due to the ecu pulling timing out with the R33's in turn reducing power where as the R32's maybe the ecu isn't as aggressive or the CR causes less pinging?!?!

Any 1?

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
