My first skyline was an auto R34 25GT..absolutely loved it, but the lack of power got to me and I ended up turbocharging it...it got stolen and written off though :)

I'm now selling my second skyline, another auto R34, this one is a GTt...not sure on your situation, but I can highly recommend the GTt over the 25GT.

Personally I love the car, I just need a change after being in an R34 for over 5 years :P

Thanks for the reply~

I have to get an auto non turbo cos my fiance is on P's and can only drive auto.....tired of being her driver so its time that i get driven around haha

tats why im seriously thinking of a R34........I saw a couple of NA R34 4 doors selling arnd 15K...very tempting but i wonder if the NA R34's performance is comparable to my NA 33

lol i got a na r34 auto coz parents drive every once in a blue moon :thumbsup: anyway they are hella fun to drive just get one lol! power is aplenty it is after rb25de, get the 2 door version coz itd be lighter. handles like a genius and get about 500k per tank

no an r34 non turbo does not make 200 kw, it makes about 148 kW at the flywheel but that is new though

when i got my car it was making 101 stock at the wheels

Hello i have a Skyline R34 25GT and i Adore her she is the best car i have owned the old owner done some bad s^%t To her.

But i slowly rebuilding her to her glory its a pi%^ off but i can not leave her as she is.

At a distance you will see nothing Wrong with her but up close i have to Repaint, knock out a dent or two and she be right.

Its a Neo St8 six under the hood with a Hybird Gearing (Tiptronic)

And she is a joy to drive. Hell if i could buy the fuel i will drive to South Aus to say hello and good bye to Miss R34 just for FUN.

P.s I got that skyline for $16,000 dollers.

Hmmm. My RB25 made 115rwkw, with catback exhaust and a pod. I didn't think it would make much difference though?

Does anyone think any internal mods could have been done? I've always wondered this myself, but the previous seller never stated so.

It's only out of an R33 Series 1, so it hasn't even got VCT.

whichever mechanic told you that is full of it

Are you saying all R33's have VCT?

If so I didn't know this... No mechanics told me it, I just read it somewhere... Probably wikipedia or something inaccurate like that. It was a while ago. Hell, I could even be imagining that this is the case.

Maybe previous owner didn't know or was lieing that it came out of an R33.

Is there any visible way I can tell whether it has VCT?

Thanks... :)

Here is my engine:

only the RB25DE (from the R32) didn't come with VCT.

and the only R33 i am 99% sure which doesnt have VCT are the ones equipped with RB20 non turbo motors.

the VCT solenoid plug is on the intake side near cylinder one

  • 3 months later...

Thanks for all the advice guys

Sorry to revive this old thread, took me 4 mths but finally sold off my R33

Got any more pics?.

I like the photo with the car in your avatar.. care to share it with us?

The N/A R34 is a really good platform. I have the 4 door, which is more unique as you don't see as much but they weight a little more than the 2 dr..

I would be looking at 15k and up for a decent one. Handles really well and looks the part.

At the end of the day it's all down to preference..

x2..

You need all the power you can get with an NA.. and the VVL really gives it a bit more..

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
