I'm looking to buy an r33.

I'm still on my P's but got them before July 2007 so under Victorian road rules I'm allowed to drive a turbo provided that it is below 125kw per tonne.

Are there any r33 Skyline models that come with the turbo but are under 125kw per tonne?

Thanks,

Jimmy

I think you guys are right. From what I can gather the rb25 engine when turbo'd is at around 184kw and works out to around 135kw per tonne. Which is over the limit.

Also from what I gather (do not quote me on this), there are no stock r33's with rb20 engines that come with a turbo. Since a stock rb20 is at around 96kw I would assume that if there was a stock turbo'd one then it'd be under 125kw per tonne.

I think I may go for a ER33 GTS25 and maybe upgrade to turbo when I'm off my P's.

That's a good idea mate. By the time you're off your P's, you would've gained more experience and know how a rear wheel drive car will act in hopefully all conditions and when you go onto turbo, you'll know what to do.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
