*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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.

      Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
