Hello, I'm another noob who needs some advice.

I've been a N/A man all my life, love my LS1's. Well my VX SS has grown old on me and

I'd like a change. My brother recently bought a 93 Rb20 GTS, with a few mods. now not

knowing much about how much fun you can have in almost a stock skyline, I was very

suprised how enjoyable it was.

What I'm looking for is either gonna be a GTR or GTST. I'm only looking for a maximum

of 260rwkw's, I'm sure the GTR will produce that will much less mods the n the GTST

but I'm also looking for this to be a daily driver with the occasional track day every 4

months or so. Now remember I'm a noob when it comes to forced induction motors, you

hear storys about this and that about them blowing up, always in the shop e.t.c, but I'm

looking for first hand advice. In your opinions would u think the GTST is capable enough ?

and if so would it end up being cheaper then a GTR with slight mods.

Thanks in advance

that's just typical v8 driver propaganda... basically that's what the holden fanboi's WANT to be true...

i have a 265 rwkw r33 gtst with a 4000rpm powerband of full boost, i drive it like i stole it, smash the limiter and flatshift... it loves it and just keeps on giving... you do have to change the oil (good oil) every 5k and keep your eyes on your temp and pressure guages but that's the same in a performance v8 anyway.

how much do you want to spend?

do you like to go sideways?

250+rwkw is much easier in rb26 form... but they are different cars... totally

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
