But, if I don't keep trying to tell people that NA is best, they'll never learn!

I thought about it, and if I could afford two cars (daily driver runabout and a dedicated sports car) I'd get the runabout with a turbo, set up for fuel economy like the Saabs or turbo diesels) and get the sports car as NA, for the responsiveness. A dedicated sports car will be ultra lightweight anyway, so I don't need power.

na is best when it's a v10 with a 20,000rpm limit :P

ahaha... it is true though, a majority of force induced owners are so delusional. that said, turbos are an efficient system for power.

i'll agree with you with the track car though.

It seems like I cause a big argument here......

I've driven a little 2004 model barina as my first car for amost 1 year. I just think it's time for changing.

I like skyline since long time ago. I think I will still go ahead for a na R33/34 because it's good for me, as a p driver, to drive a 141kw car instead of a 200kw one. :P

But thx for all guys' awesome replys. It helps a lot.

BTW, if you guys still wanna "argue" then go for it. Maybe we can make this topic the most popular one.hahaha

dude, in the end you are going to be the driver so you should get what makes YOU happy, test drive a couple of n/a skylines if u can, try a r33 and try a r34 and see what you think.

Are you after a cruiser or a corner carver?

If you're after the former, very little tops the Skyline. It handles reasonably well as a grand tourer should, has good interior space, and the engine's torquey and willing (and sounds awesome). Its also pretty comfortable.

I suppose you could get a NA Supra or Prelude / FWD Celica / MX6, but I don't like the former (personal bias) and the latter range are only for pansies (statement of fact).

If you want something for "the touge" :thumbsup: or track then get a lightweight boy racer car like a Silvia, Integra or MX5 and, being on P plate restrictions, gut the interior to reduce weight for improved speed.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
