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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
