It's time 4 me to sell my current car (VS Calais S2) and upgrade to something with sum balls. My 1st car was a '94' R33, but i could not afford the insurance thats y i bought a holden. Now i'm getting more money at work and i was wondering what peoples opinions would be on whether to buy a skyline (r33) or S15????

I'm looking at spending a 20k-32k.

opinions plz

get the S15, you can make it go faster for cheaper, and if you blow it up its less to fix it. Its newer and looks sexier.

Then again for 32k you could probably get an '93 R33 GTR

s15...

wow - unanimous from a skyline board to buy an s15 - funny :D

I've noticed there are a shitload of 33 up in qLD, but a loss less S15 - in VIC its opposite.

You're probably more looking at between a s14 if you want a similar price though. I mean they're really not *that* different, just the s15 looks better.

With the insurance though you'll get bent over either way. I remember asking about insurance on an s15 a while ago - it was about the same as a 33, even for an oz spec.

At age 18 you don't have much chance of insurance at all on *any* form of turbo car.

S15 is alot more than an R33

lol, my 33 looks pretty sweet actually, i will take some new pics for your pink excel driving self :mad:

Im just over it at the moment, ive been driving the BMW alot more, even saw the great gordo in it... lol

S15 is just a fresher car than a 33, add in a vertex kit and 18'' rims and thats a damn good looking car...

u might get a shit s15 for ya budget and a clean skyline

insurance is more xpensive for a s15 compared to my 95skyline mate..

S15 is a nice car and a newer car although u might not like the drive to go from a 6cyl to 4cyl.

i was also thinking of selling my skyline to get a s15 but then I was said fck it spend money on my current car....

I would say its a personal opinion drive both of them and see what ya like....

skyline if ya spend $28g u would get a clean skyline with some mods!

i will be looking at an s15 in the future.... :D

Definetly s15. Insurance should be lower because its Australian Delivered

this is wrong. Insurance is more because it is australian delivered. If you are going to get an s15 go the JDM s15. You get more power stock and the insurance is cheaper for the import as there are less of them on the road so less have been crashed. I got a quote for an aussie s15 spec r and a jdm spec r from the same company at the same time and the aussie spec r was going to cost 1k more to insure for the year....... :P

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
