I am currently on my L's and getting close to my P's, i'm looking at getting a Skyline R33 for my car, i'm in Queensland and the law says no turbo vehicles, so far i haven't found a non-turbo R33 for sale but i was wondering if the car comes with auto as standard if that would be ok to drive and if not then would anyone know a non turbo version for sale, preferably white and under 100km's.

Thanks in advance

whilst skylines are great fun i would take the time to do some reading on this site.. mainly the FAQ's and technical sections as this will give you an idea of common problems etc.. I would suggest getting a cheap 4 cylinder daily until you are off your P plates. r32's and r33's are getting quite old and can be a headache if the car isn't in good condition.. If money isn't a problem then go for gold.. Just don't be like most P platers in auto non turbo skylines who think they are boy racers..

I agree with defari, buy a nice economical 2 cylinder and put the money you save on fuel, rego and insurance away. then when you come off your P's you have all that money to get ur GTS-T and put some mods on it. also you dont want the cop attention, especially when ur on ur P's

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
