Hey,

Im about to buy a 1996 Skyline GTS25 N/A. My plans are to do mostly body work and stero for the first year or so, mainly because this is my first car and im not really after alot of power yet. However im sure one day i will want to turbo it, Is it hard to bolt on a turbo and be able to produce a good amount of power, eg. TO be able to beat the gtst, how much do you think a bolt on job would be. Also how much does the GTS25 1996 Skyline produce stock (kw), And please say they can woop the nissan pulsar sss's and lancers.

Cheers!.

its not worth turbocharging an NA unless you really love the car. if in future you want a turbo, its better to buy a factory turbo, too many problems and costs arise from turbcharging an NA skyline. And you have to be joking about beating sss and lancers, they dont even compare

well, first off, with a honda engine like the b16a

u need to launch good, then redline each gear, change gears well just so the engine stays in its power band, the agressive cam, vtec zone.

if this happens u are in a run for your money, but if u drive equally as well, u should be ahead.

if the b16a cant drive, well, its not much of a contest

Haha yeah my car beat a b16a CRX, i have a fairly heavy stereo system and had another passenger. Only engine mods i have is a HKS Super Drager Exaust seems to go good enough for me. I personally think the NA Skylines perform particularly well from 100k's upwards. like accelaration from 100kph is really good. Neone agree??

Mine gets from 100-160 very nicely, with out effort infact, i am keen to put some more power into the car though, xtractors etc, any one considered adjustable cam gears, its about 500 a set for the hks items, any thoughts.......oh BTW N/A skyline makes for a very good first car.

cheers, it was my second car i bought and did up a vl when i was about 16, made double what i payed for it, and then had enough for my car, yeah exactly what do the adjustable cam gears alow cause i though there was no point without aftermarket cams?? as the lift and duration would already be at the optimum with the factory cams/settings??

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
