Just wondering how economical the Rb25de is? Considering buying a R34 GT not so fussy on how fast it is. Just wanna know if the engine is quite reliable compared to it's turbo counterpart. Also how big is the fuel tank on the GT

Sorry i always get loose information from here and there just wanna get facts from proper Skyline owners

Also are the only real mods on the rb25de performance wise just like improving air intake n like poppin on a pod filter?

RB25DE's aren't that economical for the power they put out- by todays standards. They are also fairly revvy for a 6 cylinder which means you will, and it will use more juice. Normal city driving will see 10-12L per 100km.

Pod filters will only make you use more fuel as they are basically a hot air intake that doesn't enable any easier breathing of the motor.

Leave on stock airbox for best economy and power.

They are reliable motors but are getting older now and have probably had km wound off them in the import process.

Don't do the GT+T thing or putting in a GT-T motor into the GT chassis. It is a silly waste of time and money vs selling it and just buying a turbo when the time comes.

ahh, now i shall find a nice GT and purchase it and finally stop fkn around and looking at cars....

I'll hope to maintain the engine squeeky clean and oil that baby up as soon as it is needed.

let the OCD cleanliness and maintenance begin!

now just to find a good GT for around 10k

Or a gt-4. Very much worth dropping an rb26 into them :D

Yes! I reckon even a Rb25DET would do well in a GT-4 :D As i recall, nissan didnt want to turbo charge the GT-4 as its performance might be too close to the more expensive GTR. Think i read it on wiki :/

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
