niZmO_Man Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Funnily enough they aren't too bad on petrol either. Except mine did between 12-14L/100km city driving.

Ben C34 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Sorry mate if I mistakenly said GTST instead of GTT but I think everyone knew what I meant. And yes the Rb25det is far more reliable than the Neo engine due to the Neo having all the environmental add ons giving more sensor issues. Anyone who has been into building performance engines will tell you the Neo is not the choice. Just have a look at anywhere that does rebuilt 25's and they are never using a Neo its always the RB25det and for very good reason.LolWhatever man. Neo has rb26 rods, solid lifters, better cams, better vct system, better comp chamber and pistons , better injectors. Your negatives don't add up. Never mind. 5 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/193233-why-are-r33-gtrs-so-cheap/page/2/#findComment-7523221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r32-25t Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 They have shim over bucket lifers which tend to spit shims out when reved hard, but yeah they're great Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/193233-why-are-r33-gtrs-so-cheap/page/2/#findComment-7523318 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben C34 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 So tell me why not one sells built Neo engines? Just trying Nizzpro or Lewis engines and there not building Neo's there all building 25det engines Because they are by far stronger. Yes the Neo stock vs stock 25det puts the Neo in front for the exact reasons you said hence why it has 20kw more power. Neo is a 25det.

scotty nm35 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 So your telling me they are Neo engines they are building and selling ? Stick with your Stagea mate. No, most of the cheap Chinese parts used in most build kits are designed for the older RB25det, the newer 'Neo' RB25det is a better base to start with, especially if your car came out with it, as you aren't allowed to run an older engine than the car in Australia. Sidefeed injectors are crap. Stagea's decimate all.

J_R32 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 to save starting a new thread, somewhat related. Its probably a crystal ball type question, but how much of an impact will USA coming into the market for gtr's have on their resale value/supply vs demand etc? Its just one country after all, or am i being a bit naive as to how much they desire these cars?

GTR-N1 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Actually your question is coincidentally very timely. A group in USA called "Chasing Classic Cars" held a static display at Blackhawk Museum on May 3rd (so just 2 days ago). There were 900 cars on display. And not one was a Skyline according to my friend L Barry Chafin who races RX8s over there. IMHO, much will depend on how much the R32 GTRs will be cherished and then admired. L Barry I think believes that word will spread about the beloved BNR32 like wildfire. He says (being in the know) that he wants one himself. So if L Barry is correct, the demand for the BCNR33 in 2020 looks promising. But it all hinges on growth of demand at Japanese auctions for the R32 GTR. I'm wondering if our USA neighbours have eyes on R32 GTRs in UK, Asia and here. I'm an Admin of another car club which includes international members and that is why I'm familiar with the above. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/193233-why-are-r33-gtrs-so-cheap/page/2/#findComment-7528405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
niZmO_Man Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 USA is quietly waiting for the R34 to become available for import, then they'll be Hakosuka money. Goodbye to my dream car (BNR34) sigh.

J_R32 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 it would be a real eye opener to see R grade or average condition ones go for prices of good examples now! i can already see some serious profiteering occuring.... 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/193233-why-are-r33-gtrs-so-cheap/page/2/#findComment-7528868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Grantleyish Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 If your after a daily driver then don't get a GTR unless your willing to visit the ATM on a more regular basis. An R34 GT-ST is a great option but the neo motor lacks the reliability of its predecessor in the 33's. It all comes down to how much your planning on modifying the car too. You're a funny guy. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/193233-why-are-r33-gtrs-so-cheap/page/2/#findComment-7531970 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGTRX Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 R33 GTR owner don't really worry about all this shit. We know they are the best in every way. So we don't sell them. We just enjoy the beautiful curves, the sleak lines, the aggressive stance, the better performance, and they are much nicer to drive...... and of course they were the fastest out of all of them. Hopefully all the others get sold to the US ....... Less ugliness on Aussie roads. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/193233-why-are-r33-gtrs-so-cheap/page/2/#findComment-7537302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
