Hello, I'm another noob who needs some advice.

I've been a N/A man all my life, love my LS1's. Well my VX SS has grown old on me and

I'd like a change. My brother recently bought a 93 Rb20 GTS, with a few mods. now not

knowing much about how much fun you can have in almost a stock skyline, I was very

suprised how enjoyable it was.

What I'm looking for is either gonna be a GTR or GTST. I'm only looking for a maximum

of 260rwkw's, I'm sure the GTR will produce that will much less mods the n the GTST

but I'm also looking for this to be a daily driver with the occasional track day every 4

months or so. Now remember I'm a noob when it comes to forced induction motors, you

hear storys about this and that about them blowing up, always in the shop e.t.c, but I'm

looking for first hand advice. In your opinions would u think the GTST is capable enough ?

and if so would it end up being cheaper then a GTR with slight mods.

Thanks in advance

that's just typical v8 driver propaganda... basically that's what the holden fanboi's WANT to be true...

i have a 265 rwkw r33 gtst with a 4000rpm powerband of full boost, i drive it like i stole it, smash the limiter and flatshift... it loves it and just keeps on giving... you do have to change the oil (good oil) every 5k and keep your eyes on your temp and pressure guages but that's the same in a performance v8 anyway.

how much do you want to spend?

do you like to go sideways?

250+rwkw is much easier in rb26 form... but they are different cars... totally

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
