just go for it, if u lose eh what can you do, work on ur technique, mod ur car more? doesnt matter its all fun, unless he wants to beat you just to make fun of you, in that case, gives u more reason to beat him and try harder

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

I had R33 GTS-4

there are only couple of peole who has them... most of them are R32 turbo GTS-4

AT Perth there are

1 silver series II R33 GTS-4 coupe

1 Gunmetal grey Series R33 GTS-4 coupe

2 Gunmetal grey R32 GTS-4 sedan

1 Monaro Green R32 GTS-4 coupe

1 White R33 GTS-4 coupe

cheers

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

How would they go against each other?

I know some1 with a commodore VP (with aftermarket exhaust) thats wants a drag?

How do u reckon my non turbo skyline will go?

cheers Luke

Dragged a VL calais turbo with front mount and BOV on a hill kicked his BUTT! he revved it out in 2nd while i just kept goin, sweet as hey

"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. :(

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
