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 :(

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
