Now driving R34 GT-T taxi
Need some help on Skylines
Firstly, I'm looking this pretty rare combination.
Turbo RB25DET, 4 door manual sedan. So, does anybody here know the in's and out's of Skylines, their availability, where to get them, the good and the bad importing firms? I've tried imports 101 so far, and yes I am in Perth, but willing to get this car from SA and eastern states (Tho I will think twice about QLD).
So, is there a difference between GTS-T and GT-T, what does the 'S' in GTS denote? Is it a superior model? More options? Also, what are the sale/import pattern for Skylines, when I was looking last Sept-Oct, I would do a search of various car search sites (I use Autotrader, Carsales, Carpoint and Drive.com) and I would get dozens of results, with atleast 4-8 decent cars. Now I'm getting maybe half a dozen results overall... What has happened? Have they dried up? Is it cyclical? What is going on, will more become available later in the year?
My budget is around 30k, under 30k would be preferable for loan reasons... So yeah, does anybody here know much about Skylines, I would post this at Skylines.com.au, but if I can get answers here, it will save me signing up to yet another bloody forum...
s - means sport or something what model are you looking at? with the 32 and 33 models gts - twincam non turbo, gtst is twin cam turbo if it didnt have the s it was a single cam "economy" model
dont no if this applies to the r34, and god knows with the newer v6 things
Japanese scientists have created a camera with such speed that they now can photograph a woman with her mouth shut!
RESPECT!
Ok Now from the R32 on there is no such thing as a single cam skyline & the only V6 skyline is the G35...Originally Posted by slo_firo
The GTS is a non turbo RB25DE, The GTS-T is the Turbo RB25DET & The GT-T in the R34 model has a different body shape as the GTS-T...
Personally i like the R32 GTS-T 4Door... Just saty away from the GTS-4 if u go an R32
I WISH MY GRASS WAS EMO SO IT WOULD CUT ITSELF

Ok, to narrow things down guys.
I'm looking at nothing older than R34, MAYBE, just maybe R33. I just prefer the newer models, plus ABS, airbags and all the good stuff (full electrics ect) is in the new ones.. Yeah, I just would like to know the difference between GTS-T and GT-T, I don't know the difference myself, and if someone here knows, I'd appreciate the help to differenciate. Opinions are also very welcome...

Have a look here http://www.meggala.com/skylinescss.htm it gives you the differences between models. Dunno why I went to the trouble of doing it though, you could have googled just as easily.
I'm not sure the GTS-T actually exists - I don't think I've ever seen the badge. As far as I know, the models were:
GT (2L non-turbo rwd, rare here)
25GT (2.5L non-turbo rwd)
GT-4 (2.5L non-turbo 4wd)
GT-T (2.5L turbo rwd)
GT-R (2.6L twin turbo 4wd)
I had a quick glance at Carpoint and I can understand your confusion. The car you're probably after is the GT-T, which I believe was available in both 2 door and 4 door variants. Apart from slightly different model names, (ie GTS-T instead of GT-T) the R33 Skylines are arranged very similarly. The main mechanical differences are updated suspension, electronics and variable valve timing on the R34 models, along with tiptronic control on the auto gearboxes.
WTF?!?!
Whatever skylines you buy, just don't get the auto ones especially in older models, I've driven one (R33) and they are sh!t. Get the manual which I assume you are.

Thanks for the tips guys. Also, I'm in WA, and I've tried Imports 101. Any other places I should check out?

The GTS-T was a single turbo rear wheel drive version of the GT-R.
Heres an article on one that has been modified. http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_...popularArticle
RESPECT!
They only come out with the RB25DET & the GTR had the RB26DETT
They are totally different cars....

The GTS is a non turbo RB25DE, The GTS-T is the Turbo RB25DET & The GT-T in the R34 model has a different body shape as the GTS-T...

The HR32 Skyline debuted in May 1989. It was available as either a hardtop 2-door or 4-door sedan/saloon. It featured several versions of the RB-series straight-6 engines, which had improved heads (the twelve port inlet was gone) and used the ECCS (Electronically Concentrated Control System) injection system. Also available were an 1800 cc 4 cylinder GXi model. Most models had HICAS four wheel steering, with the rear wheels being hydraulically linked to the front steering. The 2.5 litre version became one of the first cars made in Japan to feature a 5 speed automatic transmission. All 2 litre turbo and non turbo versions with automatic transmissions were 4 speed.
R32 Models:
* GXi Type-X - 1.8 L CA18i I4, 91 hp (67 kW)
* GTE Type-X - 2.0 L RB20E I6, 125 hp (93 kW, 172 Nm)
* GTS Type-X, S, J - 2.0 L RB20DE I6 155 hp (115 kW, 184 Nm)
* GTS-25 Type-X, S, XG - 2.5 L RB25DE I6, 180 hp (132 kW, 231 Nm)
* GTS-t Type-M - 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (158 kW, 263 Nm)
* GTS-4 - 2.0 L RB20DET turbo I6, 212 hp (158 kW, 263 Nm) 4WD
* GT-R - 2.6 L RB26DETT twin-turbo I6, 280 hp (206 kW, 368 Nm) 4WD also NISMO, V-Spec and V-Spec II variants.
Also based on the Skyline platform were the A31 Cefiro and C33 Laurel. All 3 cars are very popular in Japan (and other countries to which they are imported secondhand) for drifting. In Japan, the CA18i engine in the GXi is sometimes swapped for an SR20DET (4 cylinder turbo), resulting in a lighter and better-balanced car than the factory six-cylinder turbo models.
[edit] GT-R
The GT-R returned with twin ceramic turbochargers, all-wheel steering, all wheel drive, and 280 hp (206 kW) at 6800 rpm. The RB26DETT engine actually produced ~320 hp, but it was unstated due to the Japanese car makers' "gentlemen's agreement" not to exceed 206 kW (276 hp). The engine was designed for ~500 hp in racing trim,[3] and then muzzled by the exhaust, boost restriction, and ECU. The electronic boost control had a small physical restriction in the control lines. It was marked in yellow so the new owner could remove it and enjoy a safe factory boost increase.[4] The GT-R had Super HICAS, a more advanced computer controlled four wheel steering system using electric actuators.
The GT-R had a much larger intercooler, larger brakes, and aluminum front guards and bonnet. Other distinguishing features the cool include flared front and rear wheel arches. More supportive seats were fitted, and the turbo boost gauge and digital clock were removed from inside the instrument cluster. The clock was replaced with a torque meter that indicated how much torque was being delivered to the front wheels (0%-50%). Oil temp, voltage and turbo boost gauges were fitted below the climate control.
Taken from a website.
Perhaps I should have said the R32 GTS-T was the rear wheel drive single turbo version of the R32 GT-R. I know how pedantic some of you will be. As a point to note, the GTS-T was only an R32 model, so the comparison should have been obvious.

Try to help people and this is the kind of treatment you get. Name calling is very juvenile of you, and learn to read as well, never have I said I was a 'qualified' exhaust fitter. I did an apprenticeship as a motor mechanic and then went into exhaust fitting as it was worth more money to me at the time. 18 years of it gives a person some insight as to what works and what doesn't. I have just recently changed jobs, better lifestyle, less hours and more time with my family. And as for constructiveness of my comments, I have only tried to help where I can and like I have also said, I have learnt from my mistakes and admitted when I have been wrong. Just because you call someone a tosser and wave around your qualifications doesn't make you any more right or experienced than a lot of the members on here, including me.
hmmm...i don't know about that abba_fan, it appears to me when you post something that either sounds wrong or is viewed as wrong by others..... you still try to justify it.....

If someone has misunderstood what I have said, I don't try to justify it, just clarify it. If that means gleaning information from other sources so be it. Not trying to be a know it all, only defending myself when others try to shoot me down.
