i dun know if u wanna compare, but....

i just got my r33 gts-25t 4-5 weeks ago. $17k, the seller also covered all the costs like roadworthy, check for finances owing, and stamp duty!!!!

since then, i've spent another $1.5k on a stereo, dyno + major service, nismo clear indicators, strut brace. Rims to come soon...and maybe a 400R sideskirt with read bar and pods....

the only downside was that it was auto...however, i wanted an auto, i got a 2003 subaru impreza RS 2.5L manual (company car), and i hate the daily grind to work in peak hour traffic via clutch work....stopping and starting all the time...i'm getting old, need to preserve my leg joints! LOL...

i think $16k for the non turbo gts is a bit expensive. But that's just my thoughts. You should maybe allow another $1k to $2k up your sleeve for the extra's.

at the end of the day, it's your dosh, not mine!

youll probably find full comp for an N/A r33 is around 2500 ish and full comp for a gtst is 3000

thats avergage for a p-plater of course, should you wish to make a claim depending on insurance company you may not be able to as its illegal for a p plater in vic to drive this car (r33 gtst) as it is over the power to weight ratio (r33 gts is fine)

something to consider

the main insurance cost is cos its an import, the turbo bit is an extra $300-$500 usually

again thats average, could depend on application

theres a thread in the N/A area of this forum dedicated to insurance for non turbo vs turbo

Nice car, but the only advice i can make to you.

Test drive this N/A skyline and then just go test drive a Turbo Skyline. Once you drive a turbo, you don't want to drive anything else. Then if you still really want the N/A then go for it, its a nice car anywayz.

Insurance is going to be expensive whether you buy a N/A or Turbo Skyline. Because of the fact that it's a Skyline, and an import + p platers, its gonna kill you. But you mite as well buy a turbo skyline for that extra few grand of insurance!

But then again its your choice.

Gud luck mate.

yea i got quoted an insane ammount on full comp by just cars and 3rd party fire and theft sounds fine, just gotta drive carefully for a few years. But im drivin it tonight so ill make a decision then and if i dont like ill go the 200sx or a turbo skyline cos im checkin sum of them out on the weekend too............and insurance difference is only a few hundred bucks from and NA and a turbo skyline.

ummm.. why is it illegal for P plater to drive a r33 gtst in victoria? I'm currently a P plater driving a 96 r33 gtst with full comprehensive insurance.. the insurance company never told me anything about it being illegal... :slap:

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
