a non turbo r33 in good condition will be starting at 10k.............anything immac will be dear.why bother putting in new engine?,save for a good car or get one imported?-nothing to spend then..........i have had my r33 gts series 2 and havnt spent a dollar on it-->..besides some initial basic mods like some kings springs,tint,mags,air intake,irridium plugs etc.

the truth is they are a highly reliable,cost effective car to run/use.

good luck.....................

why the non turbo may i ask... turbo=fun... :D

there are may reasons to go for the gts skyline.at 145 kw.....its not quite the sameas gtst/gtr, however they are hastle free to run and highly cost effective reliability wise.that is also including other n/a cars for the money and power.anyway nobody can tell a n/a skyline.same attention etc........but will get badly beaten on the track,especially on acceleration.no boost.........=not challenge anyone, or take offers for a race etc.

you can also learn the ways of these cars and mods before moving on.........to higher performance vehicles,so take your time,survive and enjoy it.

very well, assumed it may be an efficiency/reliability matter. kills me (financially) to run the gtst but its all worth it considering the enjoyment i get out of driving it

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
