I think we need to just confirm a few things about the R33 non-turbo skylines. Firstly not all R33's were turbo, they came with RB25DE engines.

They may not be turbo but they can hold their own, I went 1 and 0 off the line over 200m 'I think' against R32 GTS-T, so they have plenty of power. Plus they look good done up, WITHOUT being rice!!!

Man you guys were ripped off something shocking!!! My I'm obviously in Tas and I brought mine from the mainland, Vic. It was in perfect condition..one or two spots on the paint, 58K's on the clock (its true k's) stock standard 100% and I picked it up very cheap indeed. $9500.

If you want to get a value on them at the moment go to http://www.carsguide.com.au and value the car. A R33 GTS is worth between about $10 to 13000. That's the average national private sales price anyway. If they really want to sell their car they wont say no to an offer anywhere up to about $2000 less than what they are asking. GTS's are harder to sell then turbos, 'sometimes' so make sure your getting it for the bvest price possible!!

Read back further in the thread - there are 2.0L SOHC NA R33's (GTS spec) - 100kw of pure power as well....... The GTS25's are not bad, but the GTS's on the other hand....

Hey Ant, what's the go with this type S 140/147kws? how does that valve mechanism add the 7 kws? Obviously something to do with the exhaust but how does it work exactly?

There is a valve in the (standard) 2nd exhaust outlet that opens above 4000rpm (not sure on that value - just what I've heard). Essentially frees up the exhaust a bit. Not sure if that accounts for all of the extra 7kw - the ECU mapping may be slightly different as well?

Yeh mine has one of those.

it makes this sik sound when it does open at bout 5000rpm .

and usually when i pull out of the drive way and take of on the street it does as well.

By revin it 2much wears the engine faster. i dont need that cause my clutch is stuffed and im on the way to buying one of them real soon.

I don't know exactly how much RPM i reach when i get out of my drive way.

i dont want 2 f**k the cltuch up.

My freind just brought a corolla. (lol. 4 cylinder)

EY

I AM ABOUT 2 SELL MY DIRT BIKE FOR $3700 AND I AM PLANING ON SPENDING $1200 ROUGLY ON SOME WHITE POWDER COATED RIMS, AND GETING THE CAR FULLY RESPRAYED OVER . WHITE(SAME COLOUR IT CAME WITH BUT CAR IS MISSING PAINT) WHICH MY MECHANIC TOLD ME WILL COST ME ROUGLY $2000 2 GET THE WHOLE CAR RESPRAYED.

I SHOULD STILL HAVE SOME LEFT OVER BANK AND WITH THIS MY CLUTCH IS NEARLY f**kED THANKS 2 THE ASIAN WHO HAD DRIVEN IT B4 ME.

THAT GONNA COST ME $700 BROUGHT AND FITTED.

AND THAT SHOULD B ALL I NEED FOR NOW OTHER THAN A EXHAUST SYSTEM.:D

BUT THAT CAN WAIT:p

Ey

I've been in the market 4 an exhaust system fitted.

Although i havetrouble finding them my freind has a 67 mini.

ive seen the price for the exhaust systems being sold for the 67' minis and it seems that the older the model the cheaper the price.

the systems i've seen at autobarn for Skylines seem to be costing me between $1000- $2000 g.

why is this so?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
