jason, just put an aftermarket front bar on it if you want to make it 'angry' so to speak. your car looks very nice as it is mate, love the height and well as how the wheels sets of the entire appearance of the car.

I'd have got a R33 if they weren't $30,000 when I got my R32

The $10,000 dollar differance was they clinching factor for me

I'd swap my 32 for a 33 any day, even with around 200rwkw, I like the feel of a R33, feels more solid and has that big car pressence on the road

R32's interior is dated now while R33 still looks pretty good

either one is going to cost you a shitload if you want to go quicker than stock

Reckon you shouldn't rule out the R33 GTS25T 4dr Sedan, it's a solid option as well. You might find one that comes close to your budget, there aren't as many around, they look great and go as well as anything else around.

Mine came with some wierd ass side skirts and a Nismo style rear spoiler but I'm personally not fussed about the S1 front bar. I actually think that it looks quite alright, even better with the centre section cut out to show off your FMIC (must get around to that one day). And the added bonus, no ground clearance problems like the bigger bars.

Tastefully lowered with a nice set of rims finishes them off nicely.

Plus they don't tend to attract as much of the "wrong" kind of attention!! :(

Good luck with your decision......but I don't reckon you'd be disappointed regardless of which model 'line you end up choosing.

:D

i have a s1, they are gay from the front but for the extra cash is it really woth it?, as it is pretty much the only difference between the two.

you can make it angry! :P

Main diff is the headlights n bonnet between the s1 n 2. but making a S1 look tough can be done by a vented bonnet n 400r front bar :)

yer, maybe s2 vented bonnet s2 hedlights and s2 400r front bar!!

altho there is those eyelid things for s1 33... :D

and not to forged the boot lip.. :) i love them, need to get one. :D

its an addiction, there are so many differenent things you can do to improve these cars!

I agree.

Drop RB30DETs in them with a nice set of 264cams, gt3540 .82, 3.5" exhaust and have 20-22psi by ~3500rpm, maybe a shade over.. :blink:

or.. If you really want it to rev its nuts off and make 400rwkw...

RB30DET, forged rods/pistons, ati balancer, 272 cams, gt3540 1.06, 4" exhaust and dial in hrmm maybe 26psi, that should be in by a 4000rpm or a shade over and rev nicely to 7.5-8k.

Nice to dream.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
