Guys, thank you so much for helping me with this dilenma..i personally feel that even though the S15 might be a newer model (2001-2002) the R33 S2 (1996-1998)..but am i right to say that Skylines are actually the "flagship" sports car for nissan??

I am well aware that S15 gear boxes have a few issues, some of my friends with the S15s says they would change the S15 gear box to a 5 speed gear box from either an S14 or the R33 gearbox. May i ask if there are any potential problems with an R33 S2 GTST?

I totally agree that if i splash out close to $30K on the S15, i will not have any money left for mods. So which means if i pay close to $19k for my skyline, i will still at least have $8k to mod it, will the $8k of mods be enough to achieve very high power?? Please advise, thanks guys.

The GT-R is Nissan's flagship sports car, which is not the car you're getting. While they share the same base, there's a fair amount of difference in them. Greatness by association only works if you're a poseur.

Technically the Evolutions share the same base as every other Lancer, but I wouldn't go and buy a VR-X expecting it to hang on to the back of Porsche 911 up a twisty country road.

    • 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.
