and the original GT-R was N/A which was what Scathing was probably referring to

At least one person on a Skyline forum remembers that the original GT-R was 2WD and NA.

well then you are still a twat for putting the badge off a new car onto an old car.

The post I quoted never said anything about putting badges from newer car onto an old NA Skyline, just their presence at all. I'm pretty sure the KPGC10 had GT-R badges on it from the factory.

Wow... just read this thread in it's entirety.. i think i started skimming from page 7 or so onwards.

Words escape me on how disgusting this thread is lol. I guess it's crap like this that gives SAU a bad name.

And yeah, i own a n/a skyline and love it - i've had gt-r owners offering swaps/swaps + cash my way but i still have my n/a skyline.

As for n/a skyline being labelled pov pack..that's a pretty big insult considering i could've bought a 33 gt-r with change leftover instead. There are quite a few nice n/a lines out there from all gens.

To the guy pulling 1.14's in the 32 around wakefield without FI, very nice dude.

Oh, forgot to mention i'm an n/a enthusiast.. and yes, i have owned a turbo before. Didn't really like it much but of course, that's all personal preferences etc. Was glad to get back into an n/a car.

Why were you glad?

And how isn't an N/A skyline povpack? It's far cheaper then every turbo of the same vehicle. I'm assuming you have a 34 GTS

Why didn't you swap your N/A for a GTR? Insurance? Age? Too easy to break? I'm assuming you have a 34 GTS and someone wanted to swap/swap + cash for a 32 GTR, which is a broad spectrum.

Don't read it the wrong way, I'm geniunly interested.

ohhhh yeah... I totally don't count those as skylines, and there is no turbo variety, so everything he just said is null and void.

His reason for buying non turbo is "There is no other option"

So good for him.

Just for technicality sake :P there is no R34 GTS, there are only: GT GTV GTX GTT GT4 GTR and then all the GTR spec models. GTS stopped after the r33.

I hate ppl calling R34's gts and gtst's.

The 350/370gt's etc don't need a turbo, they make similar power as the r34 AND more power than the r32 + r33 turbo models

If they did have a turbo there target market (old farts) probably wouldn't want to buy them

Edited by R34 -_-

bit hard to say that all NA skylines are good because one that has a 3.5L NA motor is ok. it is going to spank the arse off a RB20DE r32, and rightly so. i don't mind the 350GT and yes i'm sure they go alright, but they aren't really in the picture here as they make up for their lack of turbo by having an extra 1000cc of capacity over the next most powerful NA skyline (rb30 doesn't count as it puts out less power than a rb25)

The 350/370gt's etc don't need a turbo, they make similar power as the r34 AND more power than the r32 + r33 turbo models

LOL :P

The neighbours (granny & grandpa) have 2 V35s, 1 sedan & 1 coupe...

The V series is more of a luxury car than a performance car IMO.

I would love to know what kind of cars we'll be driving when we get gray and wrinkly. and also what the new generation will be driving when they get to our age lol....

I'll probably be long dead by then due to disease. & you will probably find a bunch of riced cheap china cars around by then :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
