So his definition of a boat is a car that doesn't appear to "go" and looks overly heavy and unable to pull off of it's own weight.

R33 GTS N/A '93 RB25DE

*He has not been in my car nor seen it take off.

So I was just asking your opinion on this, is my car really a fkn yacht or is he just talking crap because he still drives his mummy's camry?

One other thing, I have a blazt ecu cable and every time I plug it into any of the 3 laptops I have the USB is never detected (All different OS's and Admins) but when I plug it into my PC it detects and installs.

Thanks guys

Check legacy usb is enabled in bios of laptops?

Secondly, skyline>camry, however yes its a boat as it is slow and if stock suspension then high with alot of body roll....

What do you care what your mate thinks anyway.

with the RB25DE your in the same league as Lexus XE10, BMW E46 Inline 6....these are cars that are just used for smooth Cruising and to look good while doing it, and there is no point of thrashing the nuts of them because they are not meant to be Performance Cars. If you start comparing it to Turbo Skyline then YES its a Boat, but put it in it league and it does well.

Lol not even in the same ball park as the M54 engines.

Not to mention any E46 325/330 would smoke a GTS Skyline given that they do 0-100 in under 7.5s (330 does it in 6.5).

Who cares,they are not even worth Racing or going fast in they are both slow.

Last time I checked 6.5 seconds is pretty good for a NA 6 cylinder in a luxury vehicle. Given that your RB25DE would do 8-10...

My point was the M54 BMW straight 6 is a fantastic engine with good engineering and should not be classed as being in the same league as a RB25DE.

Rather an RB though these guys from NZ claim to be Abusing there $700 R32, RB25DE for a solid 4 years and its still not letting up, though they Break like 50 Laws in this video, Maybe Underpowering the RB25DE was a move by NIssan to add Durability to a Engine you would not get with a Turbo.

They are slow. Turbo skylines which are stock as a rock are also quite slow but still not bad for a small turbo motor. There aren't much for the price you can get which are quicker. A slightly boosted turbo skyline with the basic mods(exhaust and probably cooler) is faster than a BMW M3. I had about 180rwkw when I was stock and I managed to get ahead and infront of the M3 bmw V8. Just enjoy the car.

When you are able to get a turbo, you will love it. A skyline with greater than or equal to 200rwkw is a very fun, nice, powerful and fast car.

Love the video above, not many 2.0NA motors can do that!

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
