but still, even if you can get away with it, you are making the car less powerful than the NA version by quite a bit. as someone posted in a thread a while back, their mate did it then put the car on the dyno and made something like 65kw. performance wise that's like getting a lancer and driving round with 200kg in the boot.

LOL if you're beating GTS-T's they either aren't trying or are being driven by people who can't drive to save their lives lol.

I love it when N/A owners think they have some sort of weapon, fact is it's slower than a VN!

GTFO ..lol alrite if a vn come in a turbo version your pretty much sayin a turbo vn would beat a gtst ...... since a NA VN.. would beat a NA skyline .. i use 2 drive a vs commodore b4 i got my na skyline and no way the VS was faster it felt like a boat that was about to sink...

Yes, that's my mate that put his GTS25 minus T on the dyno. Needed to rev its guts off to even take off without stalling, no point in having a "cool skyline" when an excel leaves you almost 2 cars behind.

problem is that how fast a car feels and how fast it is actually going is 2 different things. my turbo 33 felt slower than my 180sx although it was a touch quicker. my v6 magna felt quicker than my 33, even though it was slower.

also most people are comparing a manual skyline to an auto commodore. of course the auto commodore is going to be a touch slower. just look at the difference in diff ratios. that alone tells a massive story.

as for turbo vn versus gts-t, i reakon the turbo vn would have it over the gts-t if you are talking stock for stock. if you are talking modified then you have to compare 2 cars with the same mods and i think the vn would still win.

I think we've come to the conclusion that taking the turbo out of an r33 simply isn't worth it.

As per the first few posts in this thread, I would take their advise, sell you current r33 and buy a N/A car.

any 650 you can ride is going to be a dirt bike not a road bike. and while they do get up and go, they aren't uber fast (like a road bike) and you won't gain that much by unrestricting them.

 that about right except all of these road 650's

BMW F650, F650CS ect

DUCATI   SL 600 PANTAH

HONDA CB650, XL650

HYOSUNG  GT650R

MOTO GUZZI   V65

ect ect

Meh, buy a 250 for a year like im doing and then sell it since they hold their value due to the LAMS laws and then buy a proper 600 road bike: R6, ZX6R, Daytona, GSXR etc.

I should have my R6 some time this year :P Fantastic bikes.

Anyway back to the topic..

FKNLOL at everyone saying that NA fail-boats are faster than gts-t's and falcodoors, my Mild EA falcon 5 speed ran 14.82 and my VR luxo berlina with nothing but a shit cat back ran 15.3....

I mean FFS my toyota Cressida would be on par or quicker than an auto r33 gts

...Next up these guys will be saying they beat a GT3 RSR around the 'ring in their Auto NA rb20e r33's

they aren't all straight road bikes. most are touring/enduro bikes, etc designed for both on road and offroad. basically softcore versions of dakar bikes. a good analogy would be if you compare a landrover discover, or some other bare bones offroad 4wd and a lexus, that is what those 650 bikes are like compared to a proper dirt bike. they are more suited to the road but can occasionally get their tyres dirty

I think this thread is starting to wander from its original topic. It has been said many times before, YOU CANNOT PULL A TURBO OF A GTST AND EXPECT IT TO BE ANY GOOD. done said and dusted.

Goodnight and thread closed

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
