Friend Claims My R33 Is A Boat :/

[S3RK]

So his definition of a boat is a car that doesn't appear to "go" and looks overly heavy and unable to pull off of it's own weight.

R33 GTS N/A '93 RB25DE

*He has not been in my car nor seen it take off.

So I was just asking your opinion on this, is my car really a fkn yacht or is he just talking crap because he still drives his mummy's camry?

One other thing, I have a blazt ecu cable and every time I plug it into any of the 3 laptops I have the USB is never detected (All different OS's and Admins) but when I plug it into my PC it detects and installs.

Thanks guys

[WYTSKY]

Check legacy usb is enabled in bios of laptops?

Secondly, skyline>camry, however yes its a boat as it is slow and if stock suspension then high with alot of body roll....

What do you care what your mate thinks anyway.

[Super Drager]

If its one of the newer camry's it would chop your NA R33 lol.

[PM-R33]

Lol that it would. Refer to the other R33/R34 NA Gutless thread.

[Converge]

Your friend speaks the truth.

Unfortunately.

with the RB25DE your in the same league as Lexus XE10, BMW E46 Inline 6....these are cars that are just used for smooth Cruising and to look good while doing it, and there is no point of thrashing the nuts of them because they are not meant to be Performance Cars. If you start comparing it to Turbo Skyline then YES its a Boat, but put it in it league and it does well.

Lol not even in the same ball park as the M54 engines.

Not to mention any E46 325/330 would smoke a GTS Skyline given that they do 0-100 in under 7.5s (330 does it in 6.5).

Maybe its just the neighbourhood you moor in.

ROFL

[sydking]

mate who givea a rats arse what people think of your car, who did you you buy it for, you or your mate??

i'd rather drive a NA line then most other NA's in the same price range

[IOWNU]

Forget NA.

Even the stock Ts are slow.

[dori34]

Forget NA.

Even the stock Ts are slow.

Agreed lol

Who cares,they are not even worth Racing or going fast in they are both slow.

[PM-R33]

Last time I checked 6.5 seconds is pretty good for a NA 6 cylinder in a luxury vehicle. Given that your RB25DE would do 8-10...

My point was the M54 BMW straight 6 is a fantastic engine with good engineering and should not be classed as being in the same league as a RB25DE.

[mad082]

yes NA skylines are slow. not much more to say than that, lol

[The Bogan]

My 300 killerwasps GTST is also a boat, what's your point ?

[skins]

I boat and I'm proud.

[S3RK]

2004 model camry

Rather an RB though these guys from NZ claim to be Abusing there $700 R32, RB25DE for a solid 4 years and its still not letting up, though they Break like 50 Laws in this video, Maybe Underpowering the RB25DE was a move by NIssan to add Durability to a Engine you would not get with a Turbo.

[SargeRX8]

They are slow. Turbo skylines which are stock as a rock are also quite slow but still not bad for a small turbo motor. There aren't much for the price you can get which are quicker. A slightly boosted turbo skyline with the basic mods(exhaust and probably cooler) is faster than a BMW M3. I had about 180rwkw when I was stock and I managed to get ahead and infront of the M3 bmw V8. Just enjoy the car.

When you are able to get a turbo, you will love it. A skyline with greater than or equal to 200rwkw is a very fun, nice, powerful and fast car.

Love the video above, not many 2.0NA motors can do that!
