What The Duece!?!

[paulmac]

hey all was just looking through the trader at non turbo cars because of a certain turbo law in QLD against P platers but i did come accross what is advertised as an rb25 skyline non turbo but to me in the pictures in sure does look like an rb30e can someone please have a gander and comfirm this for me?

or did the rb25 come out in a single overhead cam version? because i know that some 32's came out sohc anyway link to the add is below

hmm perhaps they did have an rb25e :S pointless really lol

[bezender]

wtf! i didnt know they put single overhead cam engines in 33's

gay conversion if it is lol

[craig R33]

thats def. a 30, but i think it may be an image mix up, the description says 2.5 litre.

also, the engine bay is clearly black in the pic, while the car is grey.

definately image mix up

wrong. 20e. taxi pack equipment.

just read and found out that there is such thing as an r33 gts and gts type g that came out with an rb20e motor that was putting out a powerful 96kw and 172Nm of torque out

and there is also an r33 gts25 and type S which had an rb25e that has 140kw and 230 Nm of torque my source of information reckons that all of these models were series 1 r33 non turbo's the only r33 that had an rb25de in it that was a series 1 was the gts4

this is the site i found this info on may be very wrong considering it is a cepo site and come on how often do you see a yank driving a skyline?

yep, RB20E

looks very similar to a 30 but isnt

[craig R33]

Then its not a farkin 2.5 litre is it.

bloody goose

That's a stock standard ghetto spec R33... for shits and giggles you can even swap a RB30E holden cover onto it, so you give true blue skyline drivers heart attacks when you open the bonnet.

The reason most of you guys have R33 GTS25's is because the R33 GTS's come with RB20E engines. Its VIN code is HR33, wheras an RB25DE R33 has ER33.

spot on.. these were allowed to be imported prior to the RAWS system

[SkyHi_33]

and the dealer is expecting you to pay 8k for that rubbish motor?

ultimate povo pack from nissan back in the day. i remember seeing an r32 povo pack ca18de go for 3k some time ago.

[dark.sky]

Funnily enough it still seems to be fairly well optioned though. (climate control, power windows, velour etc.)

but dont know I would buy it

unless it was cheap enough for a daily...

buy it and swap an RB30ET into it. it'll be hektik like a VL without the gayness of owning one.

[Inline 6]

ok Shan tell us about this one

4 door 32 4wd so one would think GTS4 but look @ the badge on the back it says Datsun 26 and on the other corner looks like a nismo badge (im aware these badges may have been put on)
