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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
