Ummmm....Gravy car T Man, is it an Auto or manual?

Am I the only one that notices the fact that 4 door Skylines (esp. R33's) look best on the standard rims?

How much HP does it have? Is it turbo?

No, the GTS25 has an RB25DE, it's the GTS25t that has the RB25DET.

Indeed,and since it's pretty much stock[as far as I can tell], it's putting out about 150 Kw

Are you sure you don't mean 150hp?


Nice to see you've finaly got a decent car again, its a definte step up from the old almost-skyline :)


Look after it, and enjoy driving it.

Correction!

Its a peakier little motor than I thought, it appears it makes 142kw, or about 187hp.
200hp should be easily avliable with the right bits.

Have fun! :D

Yeah...marriage and mortgage kind of put cars on the back burner for a while, but with my latest package from work,it was time to treat myself.

This site (http://www.jbskyline.net/R33/Sedans/Specs/#gts25) puts the BHP at 190,from memory,the conversion is about 75% to get Kw...correct me if I am mistaken, but it's been a long time since I worried too much about figures.If it feels right [and this definitely does], that's all that matters.After all,it's only going to be a family runabout. :sunglasse

190hp = 142kw :D

Except its probobly 190ps (since I doubt Nissan Japan would have ever released a hp figure) so 190ps = 187hp = 139.5kw.


So call it a 145kw and run it on 96 :icon16:

In other words, exactly 2.15 Honda Civic LX's :o


come to think of it, it puts out as much power as my dads Passat :eek: I didn't think the GTS25 was as powerful as that :eek:

T- You still suck at answering whether it's Auto or manual :(


I can't wait until the Summer- that's when I "graduate" aka. I've built my driving skills up and it's time for something a little nicer :D Then I can brag ;)

New car? I just bought a new car too! It just happens to be parked in our showroom. :p

J/K, nice car!

T- You still suck at answering whether it's Auto or manual :(



Au contraire,petit M. Moss,I answered the question that you asked.


Ummmm....Gravy car T Man, is it an Auto or manual?


It is indeed an Auto or manual. Had you asked " is it an Auto, or manual?" My reply would have been far more instructional to you.

It's an auto. :p Because I'm getting old and lazy. :sunglasse

A four door Skyline... Sweet!! :thumbsup:
