Hi Guys and girls.

Im looking at spending about 15k on a skyline, but it has to be non turbo as im a p plater. Just wondering who has one and what did you choose, gts or gts-4. And also the best place to pick one up, either private sale or dealer, or any of your mates that want to sell.

Thanks

GTS ftw mate.

Unless you plan on going to the snow every year, the GTS4 would be the choice.

15k would be overkill - but good to see you have got $$ saved - r32 and r33 gts models can get quite cheaply, 7k to 10k is a "general"range

yeah go the GTS, it'll be cheaper and for that amount you should be able to pickup a 4-door non turbo R34

The R33 GTS4, which I guess you are looking at, is very very heavy and slow, the R32 only have a 4wd turbo GTS4, otherwise if you were lucky you could find the 2.6L Autech skyline, GT-B i think it was called, 4wd rb26de, quite quick apparently, but you won't get one for cheap :S and it'll be too hard to find, i don't know of anyone with one in Australia or New Zealand :S

So either R33 GTS or R34, depending on budget and if you want 2-door coupe ro 4-door sedan

I wonder if you could get a non turbo R34 for $15k?

thats wat i was thinking

personally i'd never spend that much on a non turbo skyline unless maybe an r34 if you have to get a non turbo

i remember seeing a fresh import r34 n/a manual clean good Ks going for 16,000 on another forum and this was a while back.

don't bother with the R33s dude they are gutless, gts or gts4 same shit. good cruisers though...

You haven't specified if you prefer one particular model of Skyline, but if you like R32s you might also want to keep an eye out for the GTS25, which is a non-turbo RB25DE. It has the advantage of a bit more torque than the RB20DE in the R32 GTS, and is still P-plate friendly.

Otherwise, if you're happy to spend the whole 15K on just the car, and wait a while to save up for other mods, then I'd personally go the R34 GT.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
