Hey yall....

Im thinking of selling my skyline because i cant afford the insurance :D I would keep it if i could ... So ive been looking around for a NA 4 cylinder... I was thinking about a Intergra type R .. they seem to be one of the most powerful NA 4's around.. does anyone know of any other powerful NA 4? also i have never taken one on, i rekon they wouldnt stand a chance against a skyline tho... has anoyone had the chance to race one..? :burnout:

Apparently if you drive a type R integra, you will love it. A friend of mine took one for a test drive, and says you wont realise how good it is till you experience it. He also says it feels faster than it actually is, and really puts you into the seat when accelerating. Handling also awesome, and if i had to drive an NA it would prob be something like that.

yea if u had to go for a type r, i'd say go for the civic. although it lacks the 200cc the integra has, the civic type r is actually faster due to its weight.

after that pop a B18 into it and you'd be smiling. wun be any competition for a turbo, but mighty powerful for an N.A.

Yes the integra type R's are very quick and agile cars,

I was looking at buying one before I bought my Skyline but it was just a lilttle to expensive at the time. Insurance will still be a bit pricey but not as bad as the Skyline being an import ect... :uh-huh:

I reakon a great driver in a type r will keep up with a good driver in a GTST.

At the bathurst hillclimb last year, stock type-r was 1 sec slower over 30 sec track, and I was on cheater tyres in the GTST (r spec tyres)

If you want a Type-R - BUY THE BEST!

dc2-98 is the best Honda possibly ever made. I've driven a standard one and it really is better than any FWD car I've ever driven (better than some RWD cars too).

The current one is not as good.

With 141kW it will keep up with all but the most sorted out, worked GTS-t Skylines out there.

It's not good for quarters though.

Current Type R isn't as hardcore as the old one. I test drove one of the old ones and you really have to rev the motor to get the most from it or else there's not much at all.

I say get one if you want it as a track hack or be a weekend track racer.

I have an ITR and a GTR. I'm selling the ITR soon. Its a DC5. They handle really well. After upgrading to Eibach progressive springs, they are much, much better. Stock springs travel too much. Much better fuel economy as you'd expect. They do seem faster than they are. Handling is just fantastic and will keep up with or do better than most sports cars. Lacks power in the straights tho. In the end I was CRAVING for more straight line balls.

ITR insurance is much cheaper than GTR and because its sold domestically, you have a wider range of insurance providers. BTW I might have a JDM spec HKS super dragger catback exhaust for the DC5 ITR for sale. Brand new, unused. This model is not the same as the one sold in Australia. It was specifically imported.

I got the GTR because its much more of a hobby car; you can do so much more. Now I just need to learn to drive an effectively RWD car with about 400kgs more weight after ten years in FWD cars.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By Nydt · Posted

      Hey y'all, I have a completely stock 1991 R32 GTR, yesterday I took my car out and went for about a thirty minute drive. It was fine on the way there but when returning home I think the car might have gone into a limp mode. I was cruising in 5th gear around 130km/h, the hicas light came on and there was a significant loss of power. About a minute later I hear a thump, the car starts driving normal again and is fine the rest of the drive back. This is the second time its happened, same as now it was fine on the trip there. On the way back it had the hicas light on but that time I would feel the power going in and out before hearing the same thump and it being fine.  I have no idea idea what causing this, but if anyone has any ideas it would be great as a start chasing the cause of this. Also I can provide more details if needed. Thank you

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.

      This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.
