They're very reliable, have really good handling, lookg good.

They're not very powerful however. Maybe a bit faster than the new celicas.

I'm pretty sure its faster (def. better looking) than a prelude.

Its fast enough, it still goes well.

It should put all those cars u mentioned under.

From memory I think the non-turbos were around 140-144kW.....can't remember. Im sure u'll be able to find the exact figures somewhere on this forum.

if you are damm lucky you will get all

R33 GTS-4 Series one or Two

  • with RB25DE with ATTESSA (Four Wheel Drive) not 4WD, only engange when computer detects rear wheels loss power -Great in wet :rofl: I had one of these
  • They are rare I've drove Series Two - they are pretty good with minor mod. (pod, ECU, EXHAUST....etc..etc)

ALL SKYLINES ARE POWER Everything, so they are Great value for money, Hardly ever breaks down (exapt damm thieves). they are top car, bang for buck:thumbsup:

As far as insurance goes IN Western Australia, there is not much difference, they are both categories as IMPORT and NO ONE will touch it. :)

if you have only money for car and dont want to spend too much money on the car then save up more and buy Turbo skyline

I hope this give you some idea.

Actually GTS is RB20E - 100kw of pure SOHC power, agree with Joe, don't go there if you don't have to. GTS25's post '96 have 147kw at the engine.

Keep in mind the R33 is relatively heavy and a GTS25 is similar/slightly higher in power to the cars you've listed. But the engines have totally different characters, not much happening down low and in the mid range on the VTEC Honda's, whereas the RB NA engine is all about the mid range.....

Also the Skyline is RWD (or AWD for the GTS4), so they don't understeer round corners like the FWD Hondas etc do.

They are stupidly reliable, keep in mind it is fundamentally the same engine as the GTR has, and those can run 500hp all year and not break!

Test drive them all and see which you prefer....

oh and full comp. Insurance means $$$$$. Just cars quoted me $3500 full comp. But i took the 3rd party Fire and theft. $750. But they'll only refund you 5000 with 800 excess. So if someone steals it, you only get $4200 back. and if you smash something with your car they'll pay out up to $50mil (this means don't go crashing into a ferrario show room with a porsche showroom next door!)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
