Hey guys.

I'm a new reader of the skylines australia forums, and im hoping you guys can help me out. I'm planning on getting a skyline, but i'm not sure which one to get yet. I want one thats relatively stock, because i want to mod most of it myself. At this point my two main choices are an R33 GTR, or the R34 GTT. I like the look of the r34 better, but from what i've read so far, the 25 neo is more costly to get decent power out of. First of all, is that true? I'd prefer to get the tiptronic auto aswell, and from what ive seen looking on carpoint, autotrader etc, all the r33 GTRs are manual. Do they come with the tiptronic auto? and does the tiptronic auto in the r34 GTT handle decent power well? my aim is to get between 300 and 350kw at the wheels.

If what ive read about the power limitations on the 25 neo are true, if i got the R34 GTT i would probably do an engine conversion to the rb26. How hard would that be, and would it be worth it, or should i just stick to the r33 GTR?

So yeah, any advice or thoughts would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

R33 GTR if you want 350wkw that you can 'use'.

And im not sure, but i would think the triptonic would complain like hell with 350rwkw running through it.

Infact.. GTR. You cant go wrong. Either one is going to cost a fair hit to modify.

+1, currently running 244 kw's out of my 34 GTT and already cost me around the 8k mark.

Any reason why 300-350kw's is your goal? What do you plan on doing with it?

It's not going to be a daily driver, it will be a weekend car that i take on cruises and to shows etc. The whole car will have work done to it, not just the engine. I plan on redoing the whole interior, possibly a 2 tone paint job and good stereo setup.

couple of questions:

To be able to comfortably get 350kw at the wheels, what size turbos should i upgrade to? I'd like to get 350kw at the wheels, with room for more eventually.

What is the flange type on the stock r33 gtr manifolds?

RB26DETT + R34 N1 turbos (or HKS 2530 or something like that) will get you 300rwkw.

NEO motors are slightly easier to mod than RB25 since you can get a plug in Nistune board :P They also have solid lifters and apparently share the same block as the RB26, they just have a different inlet manifold, single turbo etc. (also damn good on fuel when stock)

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
