Hey,

Im about to buy a 1996 Skyline GTS25 N/A. My plans are to do mostly body work and stero for the first year or so, mainly because this is my first car and im not really after alot of power yet. However im sure one day i will want to turbo it, Is it hard to bolt on a turbo and be able to produce a good amount of power, eg. TO be able to beat the gtst, how much do you think a bolt on job would be. Also how much does the GTS25 1996 Skyline produce stock (kw), And please say they can woop the nissan pulsar sss's and lancers.

Cheers!.

SSS, lancer???

HELL yes mate.

[nismoman18]

its not worth turbocharging an NA unless you really love the car. if in future you want a turbo, its better to buy a factory turbo, too many problems and costs arise from turbcharging an NA skyline. And you have to be joking about beating sss and lancers, they dont even compare

[GtSkylinePeTe]

Well looks like the GTS is going to be a good first car.

[Nismodified]

a damn fine choice as a first car mate.

[GtSkylinePeTe]

Wat bout the B16A does it give that a floggin?

[Nismodified]

well, first off, with a honda engine like the b16a

u need to launch good, then redline each gear, change gears well just so the engine stays in its power band, the agressive cam, vtec zone.

if this happens u are in a run for your money, but if u drive equally as well, u should be ahead.

if the b16a cant drive, well, its not much of a contest

Haha yeah my car beat a b16a CRX, i have a fairly heavy stereo system and had another passenger. Only engine mods i have is a HKS Super Drager Exaust seems to go good enough for me. I personally think the NA Skylines perform particularly well from 100k's upwards. like accelaration from 100kph is really good. Neone agree??

[geordie]

Mine gets from 100-160 very nicely, with out effort infact, i am keen to put some more power into the car though, xtractors etc, any one considered adjustable cam gears, its about 500 a set for the hks items, any thoughts.......oh BTW N/A skyline makes for a very good first car.

[NA_R33]

cheers, it was my second car i bought and did up a vl when i was about 16, made double what i payed for it, and then had enough for my car, yeah exactly what do the adjustable cam gears alow cause i though there was no point without aftermarket cams?? as the lift and duration would already be at the optimum with the factory cams/settings??

[NA_R33]

finally someone else who agrees these cars perform very well from 100kph

[nismoman18]

oh hell yeah they perform well, i had a group C racing driver in my car showing me the lines on QLD raceway, he was very impressed, and said that its very fast for a non turbo. i was happy he raced an excort with a sierra cosworth engine in it, and they are FASt

[pstanbis]

ok, im feeling a little left out here, as the 2-litre model im stuck in presently is not a patch on the 25, but hey, its a skyline... and it still scares common-dores... what else do ya want?
