Hi peeps noob here from Australia.

Stumbled across your site whilst searchin'

I have a R33 GTST Skyline with a few mods, pushing 200 RWKW (that's metric, about 250-275 Rear Wheel Horsepower in the old language I guess)

There is quite a large Skyline population in Australia, and I will do my best to help you out with any questions you may have about the RB series engines, not that I am an expert but I know plenty of people who are.

here is a pic of my ride how it currently looks

you can see more pics here although these are before I changed the front bar and added the FMIC http://www.skylinesaustralia.c...=4618

coolness..how would you compare handling of the r32 gts & r34 gts to your car?

cause i was thinking the longer wheel base of the r33 would handle more g's.

Depends on the suspension setup I guess.

I have driven quite a few R32's but only a couple of R34's so I can't really give you an informed opinion on the R34's.

The R33 in my opinion is more prone to oversteer compared to the R32 for example and the longer wheel base is also susceptible to more body roll unless tightened with front and rear strut bars.

Both cars are a little mushy on stock suspension, but get some coil overs with some bigger springs and feel them cling to the road like the are on rails.

It is easier to flick the tail out in a R32 being the lighter of the two, but the R33 feels the more solid ride and a little easier to bring back under control.

I'm sure others will have differing opinions, but mine are based on my real life experience of driving both.

thats a nice skyline. I know some people from Gold Coast myself, it's a pretty place. Aparently though, i was told it's against customs to chase skylines down the street. What do they expect from a skyline deprived yankee though?
