Das Borgen Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 How could it not with a twin turbo I6 putting down at least 600hp to 4 wheels, all of which were steered My flavor du jour is the R32 Skyline race car thanks to Speedhunters. it's a good one http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/02/godzilla-attacks-the-gibson-group-a-gt-r/ http://cdn.speedhunters.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/GIBSON_GTR_3192.jpg Dat I6 dat ass http://cdn.speedhunters.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/DT_GIBSON_GTR_1444.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderboy Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 r32's, r33's, and r34's are all on the top of my list of badass cars. inb4skylinesaresoplayedoutbecuzpaulwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 R32 is the best of all styles. On a side note, do you see how much pristine R34 are going fore nowadays? 60-90k depending on "what it is/has".... That's stupid. They used to be 30k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanB Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'd take an R32 or R33 over the R34, all of them are crazy well developed and good looking, though. R32 wins in my book for its racing pedigree from Group A, and it just looks badass...Those fenders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've always wanted a R33. The R34's are nice looking, but are much heavier than previous generations. And because they were in the fast and the furious movies, they are stupid expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'll still take a VR4 over an R32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 for people wanting r33... why not buy a s14 and toss and RB25 in it? its close... SRSLY Unless of course you want the AWD... in that case... dont buy the skyline (r33) that looks like a 240sx.... Plus.. r33 rear quarter windows look TERRIBLE.

BrendanB Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'll still take a VR4 over an R32 3000GT LOL. I love em, but IMO they're just too heavy, and parts are a bit harder to come by, so I'd rather take the Skyline GTR. Plus, the Skyline has an 80% rearward bias on the AWD, whereas the 3000GT's is more FWD biased. In terms of looks though, I LOVE the way the last 3000GT's of 98 looked, so badass, and proper super-sports car looking. R33 or R33 GTR all day for me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Is this the only reason? No...for one, the 3000gt had a nicer interior. 3000GT LOL.

R33 or R33 GTR all day for me though GTR = 3,152.6 lb VR4 = 3100-3800 (depending on year, and the spyder was a heavy bitch) The VR4 was not FWD bias. It could vary anywhere from 20/80 to 60/40 depending on conditions. As for parts availability...see next response.

I'd still take a VR-4 any day, but would rather drive an R33 lol I owned 2 3000GT's, 1 SL and 1 VR4. The VR4 was solid and reliable as all hell. Only thing that went wrong was that I had a 93 that still had the 18 spline output shaft, so the transfer case took a dump. After upgrading to the 24 spline, I beat the shit out of it and it took it. Oh, and the damn automatic antenna gears were stripped so it would make an annoying grinding sound when you start/shut off the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 When it comes to a 3000gt I have always heard the manual transmissions are junk and can barely handle the power of the stock (tt) motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyder is where I'd seen the weight of the car before, then, knew it was a pretty heavy-ish car. I never knew the VR-4's AWD was able to go FWD or RWD bias, I'd read 50/50 under power, 60/40 under slipping tires and such. Is it tunable with the ECU, or does it just choose when it wants either bias? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mechanical (Viscous Coupling Unit), so you couldn't tune it with the ECU, but I remember people would weld it or make modifications to it to get what they want.
