hi. just a query.

im getting an r33 series 2 gtst next tuesday from japan. what can i expect when i try and gun it against say a standard commodore or even a commodore ss? will i fly infront of them with ease or will i only 'just' beat them?

ive never properly driven an r33 gtst skyline or been in one thats giving it guts.

Ahh i reckon u should pull away no worries. Not sayin u will fly past but yeh shouldnt be a problem. As for the gts4 yeh that shouldnt be problem either seein as it has no turbo and is missin half a litre but then again it is an auto:p

Just be dam carefull when ure learnin how to drive it. Dont floor too much round corners or ure boost will kik in and u will see the true effects of an lsd (see crashedzor) and im not sure what the auto is like in the line' but in my old eb it used to kik down a gear if u floored it round a corner and woosh out goes the back end. So just be carefull.:) :burnout:

street racing is a VERY dangerous activity. Please be thoughtful of others on the road and take GREAT care. Preferably don't race through suburbs at all. If you HAVE to do it then don't over do it and do it on BIG open roads. (i.e. freeway)

p.s. Keep your eye out for cops otherwise you wont be driving the car for some time :)

The 19yr old dude who wrapped himself around a pole on Parramatta Rd while racing in a skyline was my ex-girlfriends cousin so I am very much against street racing ATM. (A little spurt off the line upto the speed limit is ok though :()

I don't own a Skyline (YET!), but I was just looking at the specs for a Commodore..

Executive 3.8L outputs 152kW / 305Nm

SS 5.7L outputs 235kW / 465Nm

You should be able to kill an Exec, I dunno about an SS. And I'm speaking purely from these stats.

Cheers,

Tim

*EDIT: Yep sorry forgot to include weights.. the Comms weigh about 1.6T

When I had my 'line I had no problems with any SS's or XR8's.......they tend to stay close for a little while, but it doesn't take long until they appear in the rear view mirror.

I had a cat back exhaust, air filter & 10psi with around 145rwkw.

i have a manual series 1 r33 basically stock

it depends what type of commodore normal vt's are no problems at all and ss arent much of a problem either . you will beat a vt rather easily and the ss you will beat also but not as easy! but you will still win in both cases!

Dam cereal it been a while since uve been around.

Yeh and as ronin said dont go draggin every dam commo u see. After a while u will realise that u can beat em without a worry just by the zorst note and how it looks. Then u will realise u got nothin to prove and can just pick ure battles. Alos there are a few goons out there who are like "man those jap cars are only good up to 120" these guys will keep flooring no matter how fast u get and its not really a gret idea to be doin over 120 unless ure on the freeway at 3 in the mornin.

heheee.... wikid! im so excited about the impending arrival of my line :) but yer as guys said.. i should drive it very carefully. i wouldnt even want one scratch on it.

As for the gts4 yeh that shouldnt be problem either seein as it has no turbo and is missin half a litre but then again it is an auto

yer my mates car has a turbo. from what i know the gts4 only doesnt have a turbo in the r33 version.

hopefully i'll convince jimih to post some pics of his car. its probably the best skyline ive ever seen. hot house green(the new monaro green) .. u cant go wrong:D

Just as a comparison.

I had a run with a new stock 300kw commodore a few weeks ago. Long straight open highway with no other cars around.

Rolling start upto 120 it was neck to neck, then upto 140 I was JUST (and I mean JUST) starting to pull away.

I've got a manual series 1 with full 3 inch exhaust, 12psi, pod filter with CAI.

I think it's got a lot to do with the weight and also the gearing, I know the skylines haven't got much drivetrain loss compared to the comodores etc.

But the major thing going against you is the auto, the auto's are close to a full second slower to 100km/h than the manuals are :)

:burnout:

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
