Firstly, if you search the forum you would have found your answer. This question has been asked many times but anyways....

0-100 is in the 7s i'm pretty sure. You can beat the old v6 commodores, but not the new generations. v8's, you don't stand a chance. You can't get the turbo whistle, but with a pod the car does sound very nice.

By the way I know this coz I had a R33 GTS on my L's.

aye dude u can pull a nice healthy 120 - 130rwkw from the gts but takes some diy mods , but if high performance imports did it, then it can be done refer to my thread on GTR engine, sumwhere in there was a guide to how it can be done :D the gts is still pretty quick, 105rkw stock while a gtst is around 130rwkw stock, its not too bad in comparision :(

A VL commdore would be faster than a GTS easy...

Bigger engine and weighs much less (VL)

If your buying a GTS dont even bother with performance cuz really it doesnt have any

R33 GTS25 - 147kw (200hp)/1470kg (stock) - what's the VL RB30E engine rated at stock?

IMHO the GTS25 is not a bad buy if you want a simple cruiser without the hassles of a turbo. Just avoid the 2L GTS model, though I don't think there are many of those in Aussie.

Make that 1320kg stock :(

yep, all up they are a good package, and are really cheap for what you get IMO.

i bought one as my introduction to imports and although they don't have the outright power of gts-t, they are still an awesome car to get around in. still take mine out on occasions and still love driving it.

the 25 head should flow more and also the vvt will help give it more power. the rb30e wont flow as much. the only time youd wanna put an rb30e near an r32, r33, r34 is when you wanna do rb30det conversion and you use the rb30e block, with an rb25det head. or i guess you could do an rb30de conversion and gain more power

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
