This NA is so stock.

Don't buy an NA skyline....waste of money better off with a ford or commodore to be honest.

Big single.

This

Tony..... I have my ways ;)

It will most likely be sold for profit hopefully. Kesh money!

Anyone who does anything with a car intending to make money is just asking for trouble

Just to comment on what clint said regarding commos/falcons vs natro skylines. Mine was an NA 25 before I did the ls1 conversion and I also own an AU falcon 6.

While the falcon may be faster in a straight line if given the choice id still take the 33 natro if I was on my ps. Just a much MUCH better driving experience, but for a daily and that's all it ever is you can't go past a doughy auto land barge falcon

I was looking at it more from a view of if you are going to buy a skyline you are better off buying a Turbo one as buying an NA one is like buying chinese knock off nike's...they look the goods but it's just not the same. Best bet is to save the coin and drive something else until the right car comes along and then go enjoy it.

Better bang for buck out of a turbo model, 2.5l 6cyl non turbo is not exactly an efficient piece of technology to move something the weight of an R33 and doing upgrades to it is just throwing money in a hole.

Take turbo from rb25 that is bein pulled down. Put on NA rb25.

Win?

Have to be careful as the NAs run a higher comp ratio. Can be done with a smaller turbo which would make for decent power and torque of boost and then fun on boost. Even aT25 would do the job efficiently.

Alternatively, using a 25NA head on a 30 bottom end. Would give a higher comp ratio and still take a fair whack of boost.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
