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.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
