haha abt how much wud a 2 dr r34 non-turbo cost?

i want the looks of the r34 without the fuel consumption of a turbo :P

best of both worlds lol

btw, reason i wanted the rb20DE NEO is cos its sposed to be the most fuel-efficient skyline every made haha

but i'm sure the rb25DE NEO wudnt be much worse on fuel rite?

Edited by ConverT!

you also gotta think about insurance. oh and also.. think about "the bug" turbos take to mods wel... and you can feel most of the results quickly... and you might get the BUG...

so if non turbo is the way.. then stick with it.

But if you think you can fight "the bug" and you can pay the insurance.. then go the turbo and drive nice.

oh and buy my auto

If you get a non turbo you will still go power hunting within six months, doing extractors, a noisy exhaust, pod filter. All giving you little joy for your money. Once you get sick of that you will start looking at putting a turbo motor in there. No one can fight the "more power" bug. NA should just stand for not available. end rant.....

the R34 with RB20DE NEO isn't eligible for import into Australia hence why you haven't seen any in import yards or import brokers e-mail distribution lists.

the reason why? (from memory) it did'nt meet power to weight ratio requirements set by Aust. Govt.

Yeah dude you can get what your looking for!

i recently just got a Non turbo 2 door r34 25GT from an import car yard for 15 grand

so yes the r34 25gt's come with a RB25DE NEO there fuel consumption is the best out of all skylines in does 9.4L/100kms

Lol internet stats lie to you ^

I have an R34 GT, used to have an RB25DE Neo, recently put an RB25DET Neo into it. I am getting the same fuel consumption with the turbo as I was with the non-turbo motor, both are getting about 350-400kms to a tank depending how I drive. The 25DE motor is high compression so it uses a lot of fuel anyway. Just get a turbo.

If you want good fuel consumption get a hybrid, Skylines are high performance cars. You're not gonna get good mileage from them.

i didnt think the r34 came with an rb20de neo stock?

am i missing something i through only the r32 had the shitty rb20 :D

just buy a turbo... i got a big aftermarket turbo and still get near stock if not better than stock fuel consumption

My 34 sedan is rb20de Neo >_<

time for my 2cents, i'd advise you go turbo becasue of all the above mentioned reasons, the only way you'l get better fuel economy is if you improve the power to weight ratio (make your car lighter) ive got a R33 gts-t and for a large majority of the time i drive off boost and it realy doesnt chew the fuel at all! i get 400+km's to a tank (460km's was my absolute best >_< ) ive removed my spare wheel and my sub to reduce the weight and im looking into removing more unnessisary things. best way to go about it

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
