haha abt how much wud a 2 dr r34 non-turbo cost?

i want the looks of the r34 without the fuel consumption of a turbo :P

best of both worlds lol

btw, reason i wanted the rb20DE NEO is cos its sposed to be the most fuel-efficient skyline every made haha

but i'm sure the rb25DE NEO wudnt be much worse on fuel rite?

Edited by ConverT!

you also gotta think about insurance. oh and also.. think about "the bug" turbos take to mods wel... and you can feel most of the results quickly... and you might get the BUG...

so if non turbo is the way.. then stick with it.

But if you think you can fight "the bug" and you can pay the insurance.. then go the turbo and drive nice.

oh and buy my auto

If you get a non turbo you will still go power hunting within six months, doing extractors, a noisy exhaust, pod filter. All giving you little joy for your money. Once you get sick of that you will start looking at putting a turbo motor in there. No one can fight the "more power" bug. NA should just stand for not available. end rant.....

the R34 with RB20DE NEO isn't eligible for import into Australia hence why you haven't seen any in import yards or import brokers e-mail distribution lists.

the reason why? (from memory) it did'nt meet power to weight ratio requirements set by Aust. Govt.

Yeah dude you can get what your looking for!

i recently just got a Non turbo 2 door r34 25GT from an import car yard for 15 grand

so yes the r34 25gt's come with a RB25DE NEO there fuel consumption is the best out of all skylines in does 9.4L/100kms

Lol internet stats lie to you ^

I have an R34 GT, used to have an RB25DE Neo, recently put an RB25DET Neo into it. I am getting the same fuel consumption with the turbo as I was with the non-turbo motor, both are getting about 350-400kms to a tank depending how I drive. The 25DE motor is high compression so it uses a lot of fuel anyway. Just get a turbo.

If you want good fuel consumption get a hybrid, Skylines are high performance cars. You're not gonna get good mileage from them.

i didnt think the r34 came with an rb20de neo stock?

am i missing something i through only the r32 had the shitty rb20 :D

just buy a turbo... i got a big aftermarket turbo and still get near stock if not better than stock fuel consumption

My 34 sedan is rb20de Neo >_<

time for my 2cents, i'd advise you go turbo becasue of all the above mentioned reasons, the only way you'l get better fuel economy is if you improve the power to weight ratio (make your car lighter) ive got a R33 gts-t and for a large majority of the time i drive off boost and it realy doesnt chew the fuel at all! i get 400+km's to a tank (460km's was my absolute best >_< ) ive removed my spare wheel and my sub to reduce the weight and im looking into removing more unnessisary things. best way to go about it

    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
