Waz, you shouldnt be talking about beating a stock VT, thats a given. Try beat a Gen3, then that will give you trouble ;)

gen3 is an engine type, so a stock V8 VT does have a gen3 under its bonnet...

not trouble, well not the ones i have 'seen'

maybe its just that the average VT driver is a bit older and not that great with the manual shifter. after all mine's an auto and easier to launch and drive consistently

This thread is really a greed over car choice, you want to get a fast car do drag your mate. Does it really matter if you can beat your mate in a car? Maybe injuring yourself and him?

If you buy a car, especially at a young age (your first car) make sure that its not for stupidity and only for daily purpose. (I'd say get a supra, i think the power shows more towards the top speed rather then take off, so while still being a fast car not a quick takeoff that will kill you. RZ n/a for the win!) Goodluck ;)

did i say it would be standard? have you ever seen a completely standard import? my response assumed it would have an exhaust of some sort

Every car that comes in under SEVS has to be made "standard". So all R33s coming into the country now are standard.

i challenge you to find a "standar" R33 gts-t anyways.... one that has not been modified to any extent at all, that is completely and exactly the way it came from the factory...... i doubt u'd be able to do it.

mine is 95% standard, only thing changed is cat back 3" exhaust. That is it - otherwise completely stock standard. No boost changes, nothing.. no airpod..

I think you should go and test drive all the cars, work out which one you like the most.. don't buy something "just cos it goes 0.3 seconds faster".. buy it cost you like it, it's fast, it's got what you want, it's comfy.. you can always modify it later easily catching whatever other car you might have bought.

personally, I wouldn't get a supra - because for $20,000 (which an N/A '94 model is going to cost you) you can get a '96/'97 SII r33 or even a '89 R32 gtr..

that and supra's have to have the CRAPPEST boot ever made - also ppl before flaming me, I was looking at getting one of these, still think they are better looking cars.. but I can't beat my '98 gts-t.. just love it..

LOL...I know its a Skyline website but it still amuses me how people will overate standard Skylines sometimes, a standard auto GENIII VT would cream a standard auto R33 GTsT :rant:

My TJ 3.5 Auto Magna would cream a Standard R33 auto GTsT :)

Fair point but people have also underated them like yourself the skyline VT gen3 standard and GTST standard would be very close. 220kw vs 187 and the skyline has a hell of a lot less weight look up the manufactures 0-100km and 0-400m times they are very close. As for your magna auto beating an auto r33 gtst you are dreeming. I doubt you would even beat an auto GTS especialy if it had the rb25de.

For those wanting to know about completely stock GTS-Ts..I have one. No exaust, No after market filter. It did a 14.6 0-400m on a Gtech. It also has the active diff if that makes a difference? I dont know as I have never driven any other skyline. Won't be stock long though as I just bought an exaust and intercooler :uh-huh:

mine is 95% standard, only thing changed is cat back 3" exhaust. That is it - otherwise completely stock standard. No boost changes, nothing.. no airpod..

so its not stock standard then...

last time i checked, an exhaust was a modification

My gf has a R33 GTS (non turbo) 2.5litre

My old car was a VR Calais 3.8litre v6... i had exaust/air filter etc... she has exaust air filter..

My calais was a tiny bit quicker than hers from when we both gunned it, but it was pretty close , and my calais was pretty quick compared to other v6 commodores around, quicker than my parents stock VT v6 at the time.... So it would be pretty close.

Hey are you going to get the gts with the 2.5 or 2.0  

2.0 - 104 kW

2.5 - 143 kW

VT V6 commodore

3.8 - 147

I recon a R33 GTS25 would beat a VT V6 commodore they are a heavy car.

Dont forget the Torque, its not all about the Kw figure. I think the comonwhore has more torque

mine is 95% standard, only thing changed is cat back 3" exhaust. That is it - otherwise completely stock standard. No boost changes, nothing.. no airpod..

i said completely standard, not 95% standard, an exhaust is a mod, therefore it isnt standard.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
