*Sigh* I googled Skylines and ended up on a forum(This one) which is apparently specifically FOR Skylines. I then asked the difference between 2 types on said forum, and your solution is to google it again? Where do you think I'm going to end up?

I don't need specifics, Just a general overview of the differences. Any proper answers would be appreciated.

GT-R is nominally approx 310 (flywheel) kW, roughly twice the power of the GTSt, and considerably more power than the non-turbo GTSs. GT-R has AWD (some non-GT-Rs also have AWD).

Have a read through the forum and you will more than likely find the answer to any question you might have about Skylines.

Even with restrictions, such as in VIC, you still see P-platers driving restricted vehicles. All the P-platers on SAU driving R33 GTSts, for instance. And you see them driving SS Commodes, XR6T Falcoons, etc. So don't assume that P-platers driving high performance / power vehicles means no restrictions.

THEY are the lucky ones, IF you ever get pulled over by a cop and you're on Ps (unless you were on them before the laws changed) you will most likely lose your license. Even S.A has just brought in this LAW, that stops P platers from driving/owning anything more then a V6 and even some 6s are high performance if they are supercharged. THE only way they would be so lucky is if the car was in their parents name, and they didnt go through an RBT, because it is a big NO-NO in most states now! but yeah a few are lucky! even IF someone got an exemption; a turbo/twin turbo import would be the last car to get one :P but WA is lucky in this case, as they per usual are behind the rest of the country (good thing for P platers in WA) even tho WA has the worst drivers in Aus! lived there for 2yrs too long :P

Lol wtf?

Try 280-300hp @ fly and about 190-220 hp at wheels STOCK.

GTST would have around 150-170hp at wheels STOCK.

This is more realistic for a R33.

Being me, I'd up the budget a tad and get a GTR though :rolleyes:

To the haters: I learnt manual on a R33 GTR and I'm still around >_<

I learnt manual in a 33 4 door running 14psi with a sports clutch :P

Out of all the 1000000+ results that come up on Google Search when you type in "Nissan Skyline" at least one is going to tell you the differences between a GTS-T and a GT-R...

Try Wikipedia if Google is too hard.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
