Hey this is steve

Im a little new to the turbo scene, Ive had my vr clubsport for a few years now but I wanted to upgrade to something that looks abit better, probably a turbo skyline? I understand I am sacraficing power and speed in this descision but the skyline definetley looks better in my opinion.

I cant decide between a 1997 skyline or a 1998 one. I like the new look but it is abit expensive do you think its worth paying extra. do you think it will be able to beat my brothers VT V6 3.8 with extractors and exhaust??? He will never let me forget it if he can beat me in a race. !!

Thanks in advance !!!!!

Steve

I used to own a mded Supercharged VT V6 and I don't think you will have much trouble beating a standard V6 without cam or forced induction)

I had a 12 pound pulley and tein 2.5" cat Back...

Although I never did actually race a skyline I would have been able to beat a new integra type R stock except for cat back...

also owning one with just a few small mods will put u ahead of a 255 ls1 in a race down the 1/4. hell mine when it had just 170rwkws used to chop the crap out of my nans gto 255kw. no suprises there

just dont go dragging anyone on the street

Its funny how many people here came from a commodore background.

I was a Commodore man, at the same stage my mate bought a 150rwkw VR SS. Ive since had a range of imports from GTST to GT-R.

You're not sacrificing power or speed, a GTST will make more power and be much faster due to power to weight, not to mention handle much better etc. A stocker GTST will pretty much dust a 185kw VR Clubsport, you really can't lose when compared to a 3.8L VT.

yeh shoalin knows what hes talking about.

he used to own that bogan car then he fell in love with supras now he's on a skyline forum

wtf?

Yeah...but I still can't decide whether to get the Zonda or the Koenigsegg... :cheers:

mate, do yourself a favour, drop by one of our track days to see how your commonwhore with extractors goes :rofl:

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
