What Skline Is The Best?

IMO go for a SII R33, mearly for the fact that they come with dual air bags. My first few cars I had were kind of shitters, and small cars, things like astina's etc, and one thing I realised when I boought the skyline is that the last thing I ever wanted to do was kill my girlfriend/friend in the car. I don't drive stupidly or anything, but if anything ever happened (even if it wasn't my fault) I'd feel personally responsible, and I'm not sure if I could deal with it.

Having said all that, I didn't end up buying a SII, but I found a SI with A-Lsd and dual air bags as an option (not to mention a fair few extra options from the factory).

R33's have deceptive speed compared to say an R32.

what do you mean? they dont feel as fast as a 32 even tho they are?

Yeah exactly that, because R33's are much more linear in their power delivery they don't feel 'as fast' in relation to an R32.

Basically its the difference in feeling when an R32 hits boost, it just 'feels' faster because the difference between off boost and on boost are so different compared to an R33. So you can find yourself going *ahem* 140-160 in an R33 quite easily while you still thought you were going say around 100, when getting up to speed.

They're deceptive as to the rate at which they put on speed.

Man that post was needlessly long...

is it because acceleration is greater? or its just feel like that? normaly a punchier feeling is because of greater acceleration.

RB20 has more lag. Its a all or nothing type delivery. In a 32GTS-T you do notice off boost that a 2L engine is trying to move what is a heavy car for it. (until you hit boost that is!)

If you don't mind the R32 and love frying tyres...

Get one, drop an R33 RB25 and gearbox in it. Buy a Garrett GT35R, power FC and other supporting mods. Have about 380hp at the rear treads, have a shitload of torque and run low 12's. Then with the leftover money buy some nice rims, paint and possibly a kit. That should send you back about close to $20k. Not something you can buy upfront but certainly a car you will love to have :P

Thats how I would spend 20k anyway..

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Yeah i know. The RB20 has 180Nm torque and the gearbox "should" take up to 400Nm if you are not doing stuff like drag/drift or dumping clutch and of course then it is pure "luck" on how will it last. My problem is (i think i said this in different post) that my car was very badly maintain so i would not be suprised if the oil in the gearbox was not changed until i bought it. Yeah the gearbox seem little bit sad.   @Sxnjeet the +T seem very interesting but from where iam from it was nearly "impossible" to done right and not blow twice as money as just swap for the RB25.

      Spray painting interior plastics

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If the plastic wore, the paint will wear quicker. Heck, most car manufacturers cant keep the coatings they put on their buttons/trims alive these days for more than 5 years... A cheap paint won't do it!   However, you can get away with high quality vynil wrap, primarily in areas that won't cop much abuse. Skip colour matching, and just try and wrap a specific area with an edge in a new colour.   PS vynil wrapping is a prick of a job, and I suck at it, even for a small dead flat surface...

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think this is more a question you should ask the tuner. My assumption is you have nothing plugged into the original pin for ring gear crankshaft, which is where your map sensor should get wired to, but now you've asked the tuner to disable it. I'm assuming (because I haven't memorised your setup) you are using RB25 ECU on the RB20 loom, to plug into an RB25. You will want to check what else is connected potentially backwards between the engine, loom, and ECU. You might be all fine and safe. The best solution you could have done is wire in a map sensor, and leave the ECU able to read a map sensor.
