Skyline Weaknesses?

[2rismo]

The biggest current weaknesses in Skylines are the drivers.

yeah a lot of the drivers specialise in fulli sikness and arrogance

[scathing]

and their high magnitism towards police cars

I'd say it was the other way around. Police cars are magnetised towards Skylines, not the other way around.

Skylines are more magnetised towards telegraph poles and kerbs.

im a bit late for this post.. but rb25 rods are knowed to have week bolts for the bearing cap.. ( where they fail) any one got any ideas what they could handle as i have had mine shot peened and arp bolts fitted..

[r33cruiser]

ive never had any drama's.. even with atmo bov's

it has been a dream.

fuel consumption is good. 350-400kms per tank.

weakness is probably the wheels, tyres, clutch, diff. upgrade and your set.

BUT.... i have had to replace a few components, just as a maintenance thing. be prepared for belts, 02 sensor, aircon regas, tyres, LOTS of good oil and maybe some electronics.

AND I HATE THE BLOODY R200 diff. bloody single spinner. so shim that up aswell.

stock brakes and suspension is shit as

and it doesn't take much to oversteer

[FATAZZ]

some bloke who changed the pads on my car said my brakes are bigger then his wrx brakes,except the rear which are the same.

true or false?

My family has owned 3 Skylines:

2001 R34 GTR

1997 S2 R33 GTS-T (202rwkw - Basic mods)

1997 S2 R33 GTS-T (255rwkw - Quite heavily modified)

Main weaknesses i have found so far are:

- stock clutch on R33 (needs changing at around 200rwkw)

- stock turbo on R33 (needed changing 1 month after raising boost)

- interior build quality on R33 (generally not bad however bland and prone to rattles)

- expensive parts and maintenance on R33 & R34

- stock suspension on R33 (was too soft and needs to be upgraded)

- MFD screen on R34 (sometimes would have a red line down screen when first turned on)

- tyres on R33 & R34 (good tyres are needed to fully exploit handling, particularly R33, and get expensive especially with bigger/wider rims)

Strengths include:

*Diffs and gearboxes have been rock solid

*Stock engine internals will reliably handle heaps of power

*Brakes are strong with good pads but can be prone to squealing

*So many other things I don't have time to mention

well when i bought my R32 gts-t it had a bad airflow meter and the transmision oil was black and the brakes where gone and the engine fuel was gone and the radiator was leaking and the sparkplugs were dead the tyres were bald and guess what the car beat a v8 and goes as hard as hell like there is no problems in the car. mate these cars can handle alot of abuse and the car still goes. when i went to the mechanic he said how did u drive this car here? it should have a blown engine by now but it didnt, after alot of fixing and tuning the car is now a monster. i have to say the skyline engine is the strongest engine i have seen. japanese people know how to build there cars
