Sambo33 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 i dont mean to sound cynical here, but why didnt you buy one that was turbocharged? gts25t R33s have really come down in price recently. plus it would save you money/time/hassle ect.. anyways, it sounds like a nice car, post a pic when you get a chance Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/96791-i-bought-my-skyline-r33-gts-4/#findComment-1754954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_rbman Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 not too sure but with it being 4wd it wouldn't be as simple as dropping another engine in it would it?

66 skyline gt Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) sell it and buy the turbed model, ya gona pay the same or even more converting it, ya lookin at at least 2-4k for ya motor, box, ecu, loom, airflow meter, then ya got ya cooler setup on top plus any other hiddn cost.... been there done that, just droped a rb20 into a car that never had one and it ate about 5k.......... sell it, and get the turbed model!
