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.

Lol

Whatever 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.

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.

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.

You are entitled to believe whatever you want I suppose. No need to throw attempted insults around.

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?

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.

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.

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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
