How would they go against each other?

Howdy All

I just bought a schmikko R33 GTS-4 from Japan....couldn't be happier !!

Anyone else here got a GTS-4?

What is the market value in OZ for one of these?

Are they pretty rare in OZ (I haven't seen many advertised?)

Did most of you guys import ur N/A's or buy them local?

Great site - Great thread

"Has anyone with a standard non turbs skyline dragged a VP commodore? "

the RB25DE has simiolar power to the holden 3.8 litre 6 but the skyline weighs about 200kgs less, so i would expect you to win

GtSkylinePeTe,

i have a r33 gts for my first car and i'm very happy with it. obviously the newer it is the better, but i don;t know of any problems with specific years. i imported mine myself and by the time it was on the road it had cost me a bit under $15000 but you could probably pick them up cheaper than this.

Yo,

Finally a good post on NA cars.

I recently installed a BMC Carbon Dynamic Airbox it's an alternative to a cold airbox / pod filter, am very impressed with performance increase. It creates a cyclone suction increasing air pressure, 10-18 bhp increase, they don't come cheap though, looks very sexy though in the engine bay.

My car came kitted with a Zigen 5 Fireball Exhaust, have got a coby highflow extractor on order, currently getting chromed, will be installed by next weekend, I plan to dyno to see performance increase from air box and extractor + exhaust.

Next project will be some type of computer to tune mods and then an RB30 engine long block - still debating this one. :(

    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
    • It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:  
    • Oh I have mine all sitting in boxes ready to go, two sets of rotors, four sets of pads and caliper rebuild kits. They send a survey asking me if I had installed them months ago :p Grinder not necessary to fit the fronts, and not *really* for the rears. They have some good simple videos on how-to. I don't understand brake lines but from what I understand... somehow... OEM lines work, even though people say 350Z and 370Z use different banjo bolts, so it's possible 350'z had some different setup that Nissan changed to the 370Z/R33/R34 system? ....though are a little short, but past-me made a new bolt hole to bolt them to to reach my current fronts so I should be okay... maybe. In any case HFM don't sell any *different* line kits for R33/R34 front brakes than they do for the 370Z kits. So in my mind they must be compatible or they would have different products made to suit the different calipers. Please test and confirm for me kthx.
