The 32 GTS-4 weighs ALOT more than the 32 GTSt.... specs I have indicate the difference is as much as 130kg. Even if thats exaggerated and the difference is only 50kg.... its still alot.

The GTS-4 might be alot rarer, but the GTSt is no doubt the quicker.

PS: who cares whether a 32 or 33 is better, theyre all good!

This is one of those arguments that goes around every so often.

And it's because none of use can afford the R34 M-Spec Nur II we really want.

I don't think weight is such a great issue. I just had my car weighed and it was 1,380kg on the dot just as the shipping company said. I suspect there has been some lightening work somewhere as this is not normal as it is pretty well loaded.

My goal is 245kW at the crank, maybe 200rwkW. This is the 330hp that the BMW M3 can do at the crank.

I'm pretty sure this is available with the OEM ceramic turbo. But what it came down to is what I could afford, what I wanted without going overboard in engine mods and what I felt was attractive. I like the last of the '95 Series 1 Skylines...

By the same token I like the r33 GT-R V-Spec II and this is ultimately what I want even though I may be able to afford an r34... I just like the way the "33" looks.

Inanst. What I mean is when the ECU is left stock.

Fit a FMIC to a Stock ecu R33 and you will notice an improvement over the stock ecu running 11psi or what ever.

Do the same to a R32 and you won't seem to pick up much power compared to the R33.

GTS4 is slower stock for stock, and perhaps with minor mods.

Once you get into big mods ie a bigger turbo etc it will be quicker in a straight line with the added benefit of traction.

For instance kabab did a 60 footer of 2.1 sec in his R32 GTSt with exhaust/boost on a 14.2 sec run... I dont see a GTS4 pulling any quicker than that with the extra weight... maybe a 2.0 or 1.9 sec 60 footer is possible.. but MPH will be down

davidpandev that is true in theory but it isn't quick enough to make a difference.

I've sat next to a R33 GTR with a 5000rpm launch with my 2wd (I launched at 4000rpm).

I ended up in front all the way through to 4th where we backed off.

All comes down to tyres, road surface and grip. If it spins buy better tyres. That is whatsisnames motto I guess. 257rwkw.

A GTS4 with exhaust stock IC and 12psi wouldn't hang in front of a GTR.

At the time that is what I was running 12psi, fuel pressure reg bleed kit, exhaust and stock IC and making 152rwkw.

Speaking of R32 and R33 GTSTs does anybody know the factory performance figures (0-100km/h and 0-400m) for these cars when stock and what sort of power they have at the wheels???

Just interested to know what i have to start with...

Additionally, what sort of gain to FMIC give power wise??

I saw a site that had factory specs.

Apparently the R33 is 6.2 0-100 and 14.2.

I can't remember the 0-100 for the R32 but the 1/4 is 14.3.

For the GTST that is. The GTS4 R32 is slightly slower.

With regards to a FMIC giving you free power on a R32 it wont.

R33 for some reason yes don't know why but R32 no. :D

The only difference you will notice is better performance when hammering it through the hills. I used to notice the car get slightly slower as the stock IC got heatsoaked I guess.

It also allows you to run more boost so i guess it does give you more power in a way.

I'm running 16psi on the stock turbo and have been now for some time without problems.

If its a gtr then out of r32/33 id go r32.

Comparing gtst I would go r33 over 32.

Comparing an r32 GTR with an r34GTT? For a similar amount of money I chose the r34. IMO, a much nicer place to be inside the cabin, more modern, newer car, less kms for $, [yes i know mark skaife has one with less than 15,000kms on the clock but how much would it cost?]. It is a nicer / smoother drive, very similar power from the factory and its not a 10 year old car [i already had a 10 yo and i wanted something much newer].

If money wasnt an issue then give me the NUR spec :(

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
