Hey yall....

Im thinking of selling my skyline because i cant afford the insurance :D I would keep it if i could ... So ive been looking around for a NA 4 cylinder... I was thinking about a Intergra type R .. they seem to be one of the most powerful NA 4's around.. does anyone know of any other powerful NA 4? also i have never taken one on, i rekon they wouldnt stand a chance against a skyline tho... has anoyone had the chance to race one..? :burnout:

Apparently if you drive a type R integra, you will love it. A friend of mine took one for a test drive, and says you wont realise how good it is till you experience it. He also says it feels faster than it actually is, and really puts you into the seat when accelerating. Handling also awesome, and if i had to drive an NA it would prob be something like that.

yea if u had to go for a type r, i'd say go for the civic. although it lacks the 200cc the integra has, the civic type r is actually faster due to its weight.

after that pop a B18 into it and you'd be smiling. wun be any competition for a turbo, but mighty powerful for an N.A.

Yes the integra type R's are very quick and agile cars,

I was looking at buying one before I bought my Skyline but it was just a lilttle to expensive at the time. Insurance will still be a bit pricey but not as bad as the Skyline being an import ect... :uh-huh:

I reakon a great driver in a type r will keep up with a good driver in a GTST.

At the bathurst hillclimb last year, stock type-r was 1 sec slower over 30 sec track, and I was on cheater tyres in the GTST (r spec tyres)

If you want a Type-R - BUY THE BEST!

dc2-98 is the best Honda possibly ever made. I've driven a standard one and it really is better than any FWD car I've ever driven (better than some RWD cars too).

The current one is not as good.

With 141kW it will keep up with all but the most sorted out, worked GTS-t Skylines out there.

It's not good for quarters though.

Current Type R isn't as hardcore as the old one. I test drove one of the old ones and you really have to rev the motor to get the most from it or else there's not much at all.

I say get one if you want it as a track hack or be a weekend track racer.

I have an ITR and a GTR. I'm selling the ITR soon. Its a DC5. They handle really well. After upgrading to Eibach progressive springs, they are much, much better. Stock springs travel too much. Much better fuel economy as you'd expect. They do seem faster than they are. Handling is just fantastic and will keep up with or do better than most sports cars. Lacks power in the straights tho. In the end I was CRAVING for more straight line balls.

ITR insurance is much cheaper than GTR and because its sold domestically, you have a wider range of insurance providers. BTW I might have a JDM spec HKS super dragger catback exhaust for the DC5 ITR for sale. Brand new, unused. This model is not the same as the one sold in Australia. It was specifically imported.

I got the GTR because its much more of a hobby car; you can do so much more. Now I just need to learn to drive an effectively RWD car with about 400kgs more weight after ten years in FWD cars.

      Hey was wondering if you ended up installing the R33 GTR speed sensor - I found one too and wanted to confirm it's a direct swap into the R34 6 speed?

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      By marni · Posted

      Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
