So I bought a skyline last year, r33 n/a. A few days ago I drove a 32 gtr and I was wondering why my car doesn't pull like the gtr does? I mean... They're both skylines!

If anyone could help with this unknown extravagant myth, it would be greatly appreciated!

Probs cause it has a hyundai motor man, better get that checked, damn these grey imports!!

The sarcasm is strong with this one.

LOL! im not surprised =p Rb20e is probably = to a 1.3 litre yaris =p

I wouldn't be threatend if an rb20e r33 lined up my diahatsu.... I'd put money on the hatsu lol

i had a n/a r34, i was happy with it with looks, it was bayside blue and shit so in a way it was worth it for looks and handling, and even after 3 years and only 75XXXkm on it i only lost 2grand for what i paid and bought a wicked turbo one but that was pure luck how much i sold it for, in saying that. performance was so so so so so....... slow!! someone refereed to a camry, i think the toyota is faster. on a hot day it was embarrassing. if you want a quick n/a stay well away from the japs, if it has a turbo model, the n/a will most likely be very slow. there are some sleeper v6 cars out there like toyota aurions or in 4cyl mazda 3 sp25. the unexpected cars have the power. and as for cops, i hardly ever get pulled over on my opens even with a big fmic hanging out, but with p plates on a plain standard r34 i was rapped for ''rbt'' so they say. my advise is wait, buy a piece of shit and your turbo car. spend money on your turbo car so buy the time you get your opens you have had 3 years to build the car you want :)

OMG. It seems as though you do learn from your mistakes.

But no one listens to what we say.

I've never thought of owning an NA Skyline as a mistake. It may have been relatively slow but could still hold its own quite well on the day to day. Handles just as well as turbo variants and looks decent inside and out. It's not going to win any races but it's still a great experience.

Haha considering the fact that a rb20e only has around 100kw, thats a 0-100 time of 10 seconds ish. (from calculation of the 147kw rb25de 0-100 8 seconds).

Daihatsu however depending on what model average 9 seconds =p Ontop of that they are front wheel drive, andddd they are lighter! So yea by my calculations daihatsu will be the winner! What i dont understand is why nissan made a inline 6 when their 4cyl ca18 and sr20 surpasses it in power (n/a).

my 12r toyota engine is wicked fast.

faster than my gtr at the moment....

but lack of tuning parts means im looking at an sr conversion :(

But.... ATM your GTR gets beaten by a push bike lol

read the title, my $2.00 (cause N/A's always cost 100x more)

delemma with n/a rb's

stock = slow, but that'll do

a little modified = will want more eventually

all out nuts modifications - pig to drive down low

pushing it even further with sleeves and fj20 pistons and stroker cranks etc but eventually you will think and know its cheaper to drop in another motor which has double the power from factory and even have that engineered with plenty of change

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
