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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
