They're very reliable, have really good handling, lookg good.

They're not very powerful however. Maybe a bit faster than the new celicas.

I'm pretty sure its faster (def. better looking) than a prelude.

Its fast enough, it still goes well.

It should put all those cars u mentioned under.

From memory I think the non-turbos were around 140-144kW.....can't remember. Im sure u'll be able to find the exact figures somewhere on this forum.

R33 GTS

  • with RB20DE 2.0 litre non turbo ->DOnt get this too heavy and not enough power

R33 GTS25 ->140kw at the engine not the wheels.:P

  • with RB25DE 2.5 Litre Non-turbo -> majority of R33 NA

if you are damm lucky you will get all

R33 GTS-4 Series one or Two

  • with RB25DE with ATTESSA (Four Wheel Drive) not 4WD, only engange when computer detects rear wheels loss power -Great in wet :rofl: I had one of these
  • They are rare I've drove Series Two - they are pretty good with minor mod. (pod, ECU, EXHAUST....etc..etc)

ALL SKYLINES ARE POWER Everything, so they are Great value for money, Hardly ever breaks down (exapt damm thieves). they are top car, bang for buck:thumbsup:

As far as insurance goes IN Western Australia, there is not much difference, they are both categories as IMPORT and NO ONE will touch it. :)

if you have only money for car and dont want to spend too much money on the car then save up more and buy Turbo skyline

I hope this give you some idea.

Actually GTS is RB20E - 100kw of pure SOHC power, agree with Joe, don't go there if you don't have to. GTS25's post '96 have 147kw at the engine.

Keep in mind the R33 is relatively heavy and a GTS25 is similar/slightly higher in power to the cars you've listed. But the engines have totally different characters, not much happening down low and in the mid range on the VTEC Honda's, whereas the RB NA engine is all about the mid range.....

Also the Skyline is RWD (or AWD for the GTS4), so they don't understeer round corners like the FWD Hondas etc do.

They are stupidly reliable, keep in mind it is fundamentally the same engine as the GTR has, and those can run 500hp all year and not break!

Test drive them all and see which you prefer....

oh and full comp. Insurance means $$$$$. Just cars quoted me $3500 full comp. But i took the 3rd party Fire and theft. $750. But they'll only refund you 5000 with 800 excess. So if someone steals it, you only get $4200 back. and if you smash something with your car they'll pay out up to $50mil (this means don't go crashing into a ferrario show room with a porsche showroom next door!)

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.

      You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP

      Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 😄 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not the headlight. It's the DRL that serves double duty as white and amber. Would be the easiest way to make it happen, if fitting a BCM was in any way an easy thing. Otherwise you'd do it with some relay logic and/or maybe some diodes.

      Would require a very smart body control module which these cars are about 20 years to old to have
