So I bought a skyline last year, r33 n/a. A few days ago I drove a 32 gtr and I was wondering why my car doesn't pull like the gtr does? I mean... They're both skylines!

If anyone could help with this unknown extravagant myth, it would be greatly appreciated!

Probs cause it has a hyundai motor man, better get that checked, damn these grey imports!!

The sarcasm is strong with this one.

i had a n/a r34, i was happy with it with looks, it was bayside blue and shit so in a way it was worth it for looks and handling, and even after 3 years and only 75XXXkm on it i only lost 2grand for what i paid and bought a wicked turbo one but that was pure luck how much i sold it for, in saying that. performance was so so so so so....... slow!! someone refereed to a camry, i think the toyota is faster. on a hot day it was embarrassing. if you want a quick n/a stay well away from the japs, if it has a turbo model, the n/a will most likely be very slow. there are some sleeper v6 cars out there like toyota aurions or in 4cyl mazda 3 sp25. the unexpected cars have the power. and as for cops, i hardly ever get pulled over on my opens even with a big fmic hanging out, but with p plates on a plain standard r34 i was rapped for ''rbt'' so they say. my advise is wait, buy a piece of shit and your turbo car. spend money on your turbo car so buy the time you get your opens you have had 3 years to build the car you want :)

OMG. It seems as though you do learn from your mistakes.

But no one listens to what we say.

I've never thought of owning an NA Skyline as a mistake. It may have been relatively slow but could still hold its own quite well on the day to day. Handles just as well as turbo variants and looks decent inside and out. It's not going to win any races but it's still a great experience.

Haha considering the fact that a rb20e only has around 100kw, thats a 0-100 time of 10 seconds ish. (from calculation of the 147kw rb25de 0-100 8 seconds).

Daihatsu however depending on what model average 9 seconds =p Ontop of that they are front wheel drive, andddd they are lighter! So yea by my calculations daihatsu will be the winner! What i dont understand is why nissan made a inline 6 when their 4cyl ca18 and sr20 surpasses it in power (n/a).

my 12r toyota engine is wicked fast.

faster than my gtr at the moment....

but lack of tuning parts means im looking at an sr conversion :(

But.... ATM your GTR gets beaten by a push bike lol

read the title, my $2.00 (cause N/A's always cost 100x more)

delemma with n/a rb's

stock = slow, but that'll do

a little modified = will want more eventually

all out nuts modifications - pig to drive down low

pushing it even further with sleeves and fj20 pistons and stroker cranks etc but eventually you will think and know its cheaper to drop in another motor which has double the power from factory and even have that engineered with plenty of change

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
