R32 GTS-t

[U.K. R33 GTS-t]

Hi there,

I am taking delivery of a R33 GTS-t skyline (1994) very soon. Please could you answer the following newbie questions for me!!!

1.) What are its Specs (BHP/0-100 KM/Max Speed)?
2.) What B.H.P. could you expect with an air filter, exhaust and boost controller? Would this still be reliable?
3.) Are there any members here from the U.K., in particular, Norwich!

Thanks for taking the time to help me out!

Philip.

P.S. So long to the WRX!!!

Phillip,
What are you doing up so late!!!, Where are you getting your Skyline from? I don't have any figures, but of of the guru's here will sort you out, I am in the Midlands, But The only Skyline members that i know of are the UK GT-R register. Not sure if they look down there nose at us mere mortals(non GT-R ).

Give me details of why you chose a Skyline.

Paul.

You mean what am I doing up so early!!!

I saw the car yesterday, and now I cant sleep!

It is a burgandy red colour, in mint condition. 40K miles.

I paid £6995, which I think is bloody amazing!

I have always wanted a skyline, but never could find a good one before! That is why I bought the Impreza WRX previously. However, when I found the Skyline, I just had to go for it. I know it will be a bit slower than the WRX, but that's nothing a few mods won't cure!!!

Cheers for replying, give us a call if you are anywhere near Norfolk, and want to meet!

Phillip,
Did you do your homework on the Insurance?, I was shocked when I sorted mine out it pays to shop around, I had to have a Cat1 Alarm, and Tracker for a non-turbo version!!!!!!!!. Is yours from a dealer?, It's worth getting it HPI'd.

Regards,
Paul.
P.S Why are you up so early, couldn't sleep, Exciting isn't it a new car, I have always wnated a Skyline since 1989, but couldn't afford one, If you need any advise were to get bits for your car drop me aline I ahve some good contacts abroad, there are cheaper even with shipping.

Hi there you two...it's good to see some more GTS boys in the UK.....

Philip: 250bhp standard,0-100 depends on manual or auto...top speed 100mph until you cut the limiter...
...go for the exhaust and filter ..no huge gains, but feels more lively and sounds the bizz ....don't think about messing with the boost until you've fitted an ACCURATE boost gauge.....and you don't want to go over 10psi with the R33's ceramic turbo....not to be confused with the higher-boosting R32 GTS-t....
....and just scour the forums for gems of advice....

Have fun,

Jon.

HI,
Already have my Toy, although it's a 4 door non-turbo version R32. Are you fairly knowledgeable about the Skyline?, Do you know if all the Skylines have speed limiters on them?. If so is the ECU located under the passenger seat, or under the Kick plate(Door sill)on the passengers side, I live in Solihull, west mids, were are you.

Regards,

Paul.

HI,
yes they are limited but if your car has been calibrated to MPH by gear drive conversion instead of new speedo face you wont see the limiter.
If your speedo reads max of 120 mph you have a limiter if it reads 180 mph you dont.
Ecu is located on passengers side footwell ahead of door.

Thank you for the replies, Gents!

The test drive went superb, so I am picking up the Skyline tomorrow! To say I am very excited would be an understatement!

By the way, it is from a dealer, and HPI checked O.K.

Do you all fancy meeting up so we see each other and our cars for real? We all seem to live reasonably close to each other!

Regards,

Philip

Phillip,
Why not, lets try and meet half way, any suggestions?
