First post so G'DAY TO ALL!!

Ok, I am looking at these two skylines can anybody tell me which they think is the better of the two? in terms of performance, reliability, cost, efficiency, cost to repair, part availability ect.

1.R32 1993 Gts25T - has the RB25DET engine

2.R33 1996 GTS-T

I can pick up the gts25t for approx 10K and the GTS-T for about 15K, so any thoughts, they both drive well just want to know what the general feel is for these two models.

Cheers,

FYI: R32s never had 2.5L Turbo from the factory so that R32 has had some work done to it.

That i know ;) thats why i said it had the 2.5Turbo, not the standard 2.5

so that woud be a bad thing? could a 1993 gts25t be an R33 not R32?

Edited by shireskyline

The R32 could just be so named because it has an RB25DET engine transplant from a later model, or even dodgily had a turbo thrown onto the side of a normal RB25DE.

Also, technically speaking the model numbers are around the wrong way - there was no R32 GTS25-t released by Nissan, and all R33 GTS-t's are GTS25-t's but are often called just GTS-t for short.

Hmm...was abit confused for a moment there. I thought GTS-Ts ARE GTS25T? 1996 GTST for 15k is quite a good deal..go for the 96 one...

But if you wanna import one :):):)

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
