just after inforamtion on the rb25de..

would like to get some information on the 33 gts? I will be upgrading from a xf fairmont..

What is the rb25de like on fuel? would the fuel be anywhere near a vx Commo s pack would it be anything near what that uses. newest 6 i have drivin and no what the consumption is..

did a little search and came up with

How many k's to a tank? is around 450km about right?

What are parts going to be like for the car. still dont know this one

Being a non turbo what will insurance be like do they still ask for a bucket load for a non turbo. not sure on this one

Performance wise how would it go compared to the Vx s pack?.

What would the avg 0 - 100 1/4 time be? i found around the 8 second mark? and a low to mid 15 1/4?

any other genral info would be much apreciated

Also am after a non turbo just i can get into the turbo scene and not payout my arse hole with insruance.

I picked my r33 GTS up last week and it's bloody nice :O

( I haven't driven a turbo'd car before with 15psi or what ever it is that people classify as fast) but, it still goes very nicely..

Fuelwise, I'd say it's pretty good.. but the fuel tank is kinda small so that might make you think you're blowing quite a bit of fuel..

I was never a fan of 33's.. but seeing them in person and having a good long look at them I learned to like them a bit more.. :)

I recon parts would be pretty easy.. i needed new shocks just went down to the local mechanic and he hooked me up.

Don't know any facts and figures though about 1/4's

About 450kms per tank is correct depending on mods and how you drive obviously.

I haven't taken mine on the 1/4 mile or dyno so I'm not sure but stock should be around 90-100 rwkw (142kw at flywheel). The info that you posted about 1/4 mile and 0-100 times are pretty much correct though.

I'm paying $1380 on insurance for a '94 GST Coupe, I'm 20 and have a clean record, the only mods I listed were $2500 rims.

You shouldnt have too much trouble with parts as 33's are very common imports now.

For insurance if you have a misss and a house you will get a discount if you use the same company but if you are under 27 some wont insure you

no turbo will be alot better tho

50 litre tank and you sould get if serviced and looked after you might get it to 10l per 100kw

Get an exhaust and extractors and they sound pritty nice

james

18 at the moment.. turn 19 in march

hope to have a new car sometime from now to then

Not sure though ... i want somthing with some guts but not to keen on a turbo as insurance is heaps. I guess i should take a test drive...

I've got a bog stock GTS25 ('93 model) with O2 panel filter, fuel economy out on the highway gets me around 10k per litre (550 - 600 safely on full tank), around town 6ish (300 - 350 safely). BTW you should have a 65 litre tank, not 50 as mentioned earlier.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
