Hey guys I'm new to the forums and am currently for a Skyline in SA under 20K.

I just wanted so more info on them, like the models and different engine outputs. For instance I have heard there a two different versions of the rb20 motor for the R32. Maybe there is a spot on here that I have missed that has all this, if so can someone put the link up

Also how many km's to a tank roughly you guys get on stock boost?

Thanks

every car is different, joel's R32 did over 500km per tank and he run more boost then mr_rbman

put yr car on dyno and check is it running a bit rich :P

my R33 improve from 400->450km, just becoz change engine oil from (shell, castrol) to Mobil 1

Current S15 running motul 300V and get around 525km per tank

Yer I used to get around 500km's to a tank.

No freeway driving. Just local 60km/h traffic and short 10-20km trips.

The new Rb30DET is a little heavier on juice but it is untuned. Still running the stock RB20DET ecu. It pops and farts quite a bit (running slightly rich under light throttle) but once the foot is down it leans out real bad.

I am now getting 430km's to a tank of juice. Local 60km/h stuff.

Shaun, GTS4? A little more weight, slightly more driveline loss.

btw, for yr budget, u are looking at a decent R33 (maybe a late model series 2),

R33 has RB25 in it.

A R32 for that price will 100% not running "on stock boost" :P

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
