Hey guys i'm in the process of getting an r33 gtst in 3 weeks time but from all the forums that iv been reading these past week seems like almost everybody is agreeing that r33 gtst is quite slow and usually get beaten easily with evos, supras, ,wrx,dc2&dc5 and apparently even preludes so these is making me confused if im gna get it at all....some say depends on how much you put work and upgrades into it and it will reveal the guaranteed speed and power skylines are known for..... so these were the upgrades on these current r33 that im getting in 3 weeks time.

includes :

Engine : RB25DET

-Transmission : Automatic

-Turbo : High Mount T3/T4

-Intercooler : Apexi

-TurboSmart Boost Controller

-Bosch Fuel Pump

-Exhaust : Tanabe

-Body Kit : Full Veilside Body Kit

-Wheels : 18inch

Car made around 220kw on the Dyno last year

Firstly I hope your not planning to race on public roads,

Secondly AUTO ewwwww why you would want an automatic skyline is beyond me

Thirdly 220rwkws is definitely enough to beat all the cars you've listed IF they are stock

And lastly even on stock form an R33 is not going to lose to a prelude

So if your planning on racing at the track on a drag strip why would buy an auto? Half the fun of drag racing is timing the gear changes?

Also you said you want to know when to put your foot down,

so if your at the drag strip and you are up against a car that can beat you, when the lights go green are you just gonna sit there cause the other car is faster than you?

cmon guys i may be new to skyline but i aint that stupid lol....the car obviously comes with auto already and i like these car so auto or manual doesnt really bother me cuz i can always convert it later on and when i say put my foot down is basically just an expression of who i can beat because all the cars that mentioned before are my mates cars and they definitely not stock....

and its got the report from dyno that it made 220kws last year so when i get it im gna get it tuned again....and yes it has a high mount turbo and whats wrong with veilside bodykit? dont get it.....?

Seriously dude look for a manual there would be heaps out there,

Otherwise your basically buying it for looks

And I can't see any hondas unless they have

"about a hundred grand under the bonnet" lol

beating and r33 with a front mount intercooler full exhaust and a bit more boost

LMAO....do need it for looks to :]....and on regards to honda prelude my mate doesnt own it iv read it on one of the forums yesterday an r33 owner admitting he was wrong for underestimating the prelude cuz apparently it raped him.....and these iwhat the car i was thinking of getting what do u think? :]

He must have forgotten what the accelerator was

Cause my mechanic was tuning a late model prelude that has had easily over $40k spent on it (what a waste)

And with a turbo and aftermarket ecu it still only does 180kws at the front wheels,

And regards to looks I would take a stock looking r33 that was manual over a NICE looking auto one any day of the year

    • Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum. 
    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
