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.

welcome to the forum, if you have used search button then you've already got most of answers.

ok R33 GTS come

R33 GTS

  • with RB20DE 2.0 litre non turbo ->DOnt get this too heavy and not enough power

R33 GTS25 ->140kw at the engine not the wheels.:P

  • with RB25DE 2.5 Litre Non-turbo -> majority of R33 NA

some will have HICCAS (four wheel steering)

some will have ABS some dont

some will have Roof windows

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.

cheers

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!)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
