To me, all skylines can look sweet.

I bought an R34 and now am probably starting to like the SII r33s more.

r32s have always looked tuff, its just they are now getting on in age and commonly niggly little problems.

All skylines look good, all have potential.

I would probably go the R32 though if your planning track days etc, nice and light with a mean tone

The following is a quote/interview from Tatsuhiro Shibata (owner of R31 House in Japan).

THe following questions were asked (in bold).

(Side note, he was interviewed by "import" magazine, in the skyline special)

Q. The Rb20DET has a bit of a reputation for being sluggish while in low revs. This is espically the case when you start adding big turbos and the like. Whats the best thing you can do to fix this problem?

A. Change the engine.

Q. Seriously?

A. Yes, change it to an RB25/26. Its a much better base to start with. If you must use the RB20, we suggest a complete overhaul of the componets associated with the engine, if not the insides too. That means all electrics, sensors, ignition coils, air pressure regulator. Its 20 years old. It will need a freshen up. Then try adding some sensible modfications.

**End**

I think we can all agree, this guy knows what he is talking about.. his job and life are SKYLINES and SKYLINES only, as proven by the following Q&A.

Q. So, what non-skyline do you fancy?

A. Nothing.

So there we have it.. RB25DET > RB20DET.

As for the style and looks of the two, thats down to personal taste... and no-one should tell you what looks better and what doesnt, as its going to be your car not theirs.

If anyone wants to do further reading, its Issue No. 90 of "Imports"... No more standing in the middle of the road! LOL

nissan didnt invent the rb25 for no reson... its newer its better.. if you dont care about the interior and how new the car is then get a 32, ive got an r32 with a bored out rb20 and i wouldnt trade it for any r33 whale on the road. if you choose the r32 upgrade to a high flowed r33 turbo get a frontmount + 12psi and thats more than enough power to have fun with for probably the same amount of money you would pick up a 33 for.

*edit: ive got a 3 1/2" rsr catbak no whale out there beats it in the sound department*

I dont take advice from a guy that tries to make a living from modifying Pintaras :P

I think your missing the point, he works with Rb20s 25s and 26s for god knows how many years, so obviously he knows these engines inside out.

OK thanks guys - didn't want this to turn into a sledge fest. If i get the chance ill try out both.

Thanks for all the replies and opinions. Its obvious it comes down to a lot of personal preference and what the car is intended for.

Hopefully i'll be joining the skyline family soon enough ;-)

But Pintaras dude ! :) If a guy was banging the dumbest, ugliets and yes poor as hell street trash, would you take advice on picking up broads from him? He mods Pintaras so how does he know what is mustard? :D

Nissan won numerous Touring Car Crowns with the RB20 in a Pintara. It must have been a great engine to carry that chassis to victory. Now what has an RB25 ever won, except the race to melt pistons and get ignition/boost cut when you simply throw a bit of boost at the std ECU :(

Yes, i am just trash talking :)

:( you can't argue with motor sport pedigree! :D

Whens the last time you say a 33gtst racing in Group A! Oh hang on, never saw a 32gtst run there either....

damn, that pintara is looking attractive now. CA20e's aren't they?

yep that pretty much summaries what you said in the whole thread :P

fark this is a serious thread!

I rekon.

I mean, I could understand it if the thread was about how R32 GTST owners are Dreamers..., but this is just stoopid.

also need threads about how many r32 need to UPGRADE their parts to r33 parts :D

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.

      Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
