Hey guys i'm in the process of getting an r33 gtst in 3 weeks time but from all the forums that iv been reading these past week seems like almost everybody is agreeing that r33 gtst is quite slow and usually get beaten easily with evos, supras, ,wrx,dc2&dc5 and apparently even preludes so these is making me confused if im gna get it at all....some say depends on how much you put work and upgrades into it and it will reveal the guaranteed speed and power skylines are known for..... so these were the upgrades on these current r33 that im getting in 3 weeks time.

includes :

Engine : RB25DET

-Transmission : Automatic

-Turbo : High Mount T3/T4

-Intercooler : Apexi

-TurboSmart Boost Controller

-Bosch Fuel Pump

-Exhaust : Tanabe

-Body Kit : Full Veilside Body Kit

-Wheels : 18inch

Car made around 220kw on the Dyno last year

Firstly I hope your not planning to race on public roads,

Secondly AUTO ewwwww why you would want an automatic skyline is beyond me

Thirdly 220rwkws is definitely enough to beat all the cars you've listed IF they are stock

And lastly even on stock form an R33 is not going to lose to a prelude

So if your planning on racing at the track on a drag strip why would buy an auto? Half the fun of drag racing is timing the gear changes?

Also you said you want to know when to put your foot down,

so if your at the drag strip and you are up against a car that can beat you, when the lights go green are you just gonna sit there cause the other car is faster than you?

cmon guys i may be new to skyline but i aint that stupid lol....the car obviously comes with auto already and i like these car so auto or manual doesnt really bother me cuz i can always convert it later on and when i say put my foot down is basically just an expression of who i can beat because all the cars that mentioned before are my mates cars and they definitely not stock....

and its got the report from dyno that it made 220kws last year so when i get it im gna get it tuned again....and yes it has a high mount turbo and whats wrong with veilside bodykit? dont get it.....?

Seriously dude look for a manual there would be heaps out there,

Otherwise your basically buying it for looks

And I can't see any hondas unless they have

"about a hundred grand under the bonnet" lol

beating and r33 with a front mount intercooler full exhaust and a bit more boost

LMAO....do need it for looks to :]....and on regards to honda prelude my mate doesnt own it iv read it on one of the forums yesterday an r33 owner admitting he was wrong for underestimating the prelude cuz apparently it raped him.....and these iwhat the car i was thinking of getting what do u think? :]

He must have forgotten what the accelerator was

Cause my mechanic was tuning a late model prelude that has had easily over $40k spent on it (what a waste)

And with a turbo and aftermarket ecu it still only does 180kws at the front wheels,

And regards to looks I would take a stock looking r33 that was manual over a NICE looking auto one any day of the year

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
