Which of you owns the Super Sonic Metalic (SILVER) Skyline GT-S R33 that rolled up to stockbridge this Saturday. That was nuts seeing an R33 out like that.

I see this guy all the time at the club called the peacock. He just shows up to show off. Be careful... he does not race that car he has another car that he races.. my guess is its maybe a hatch or a integra or civic because those are what his boys drive

11-07-2005, 06:43 PM
I love skylines to death but some people blow it out of proportion, I'm always impressed to see one but jumping up and down yelling its a skyline (yes I have seen it done) is a bit much.

With that said it is very cool to see him pull into a parking lot just to see the reaction and then to see how nonchalant he is about it.

noticed that are nice
big brake kit from rotora
fixed body work

not nice
neons
cluttered dash

true, skylines are slow from the factory but all the rb series motors have the greatest

tuning potential of almost any engine ever, a car that produces a true 310-300hp at

the crank take away the lie of 280ps given to japanese manufactuers. the engine with

rb26 short block handles 600ps and the exvitermini drag r33 is set to hit 1500hp.

The skyline talked about now is not the street terror it could be, if the owner really

invested in it that rb25, it could eclipse 800hp.

There is a reason top secret has chosen the rb26 to power their z33, supra, and

countless of demo skylines

Heres the problem with that, you have an 800hp skyline that nobody knows how to work on because of how rare they are. Considering how much the guy drives his skyline I'm sure he wouldn't want to deal with the hassle every time he has to get something fixed. I'm already having that problem with a 400hp G35.

EJ25RUN
11-07-2005, 07:31 PM
to all you honda people

because of the rb short stroke, (its an oversquare engine) the rb can rev

past 10,000 rpm better than a b16 or b18

strokes
rb20-69.7 mm
rb25-71.7 mm
rb26-73.3mm

true that, but you must consider that the vq35 has been around for only like 4 years and while there is aftermarket and tuning support, it still has to grow. the vq's capabilities arn't to that of a 17 year old race breed motor. Finding the tuning for it and spending the money is his business, besides i dont mean he has to im just saying if he invested he could.

ps. real clean G35 tony

11-07-2005, 07:53 PM
^ to add to that, think about the number of 240 swaps incorporating the rb25 and 26. with all the 240 shops in ga I am sure someone knows how to properly work on a skyline motor. as for the car itself, one may run into problems.

He would not talk to me the he would on a regular night because of the guy there talking shit about "how his hatch runs 12.5s at the track blah blah blah blah...

I can tell u this though he is from Hampton... He has money (he has a 97 skyline). From judging his character when h does something he do it right. When or if you ever see the car take a look at the aorodynamics of the car. The first night I met him all he spoke about was drifting. There are two touch screens insight the car. The one that comes with the car and another one which I think if I correct and make the car a rear wheel drive.... basically he has money period

It is probably kids who think that just because it is a skyline it is super fast.

Or they talk shit because he obviously paid a shit ton for a skyline, that is if its a legal skyline...


I'd take a gti-r over a rb20/rb25 skyline anyday.

Ludester
11-07-2005, 10:19 PM

lol... rb25 turbo came out it was the shit. I took America five years after its arrival to come up with a buick that was it the same class but rwd to beat it in the quarter mile stock for stock in the same class. (Can't remember the name of the buick could find out though).

does that make you happy?

Ludester
11-07-2005, 10:30 PM
oh yeah if it wasn't for these two engines we probably would not have a evo or 3000gt or sti so give these heavy motors some credit. When they came out they were sittin on top of the mountain.

HalfBaked
11-07-2005, 10:31 PM
Unless the rb25 came out in the 80s, then no turbo buick came out after it...

Also rb25's aren't twin turbo...

Also they are slow.

But a GNX would bust a stock skylines ass all day long.

Ok, I used to agree with things you kinda posted.

Now I think you are an idiot.

The rb20 has nothing in common with a ej20/4g63/ or whatever the hell comes in a 3000gt.

In fact those companies probably took the rb20 as a key of things what not to build.

Except ford who also thought a 2.0 6 cyl. would be a good idea...

Certainly not a buick century!

Well I know the guy you guys are talking about and its true the his skyline is stock for now. He have a very fast civic. I went to school with his younger brother. Its a sliver skyline with gold rims that look like BBS, I'm not sure if they are. But yes its stock but he has plans for it. As far as what psinxs says. I hear that the skyline starts off AWD then turns RWD is this true?

tony
11-16-2005, 11:29 AM
Some Skylines come RWD, others have the altessa (sp) AWD system that acts as a RWD system and AWD kicks in when the system senses that the rear wheels lose traction. I may be wrong but that is how it was explained to me, its actually available on the G35x Sedan right now.

11-16-2005, 03:10 PM

Well, the car does have the capability to make the switch...not so sure about your touch screen through :jerkit:

The ATTESA system is fully electronic and computer controlled...I don't know if the ability to turn the AWD off is a factory feature or not but I do know it can be done through the car's computer interface. I don't have them on my computer any more but there are some old videos of two skylines street racing where you can see the system in action. They do rear wheel drive burnouts to heat the tires, but when they take off you can clearly see the car's are ripping with all four.

EDIT: I did a little research after posting...here is a link to an australian skyline board where they talk about splicing in a control module into the ATTESA control system to give it the capability to control the AWD/RWD settings. It may not be through the car's interface but in fact through an independent module mounted in the cockpit. Either way you CAN control the differential's ability to control the front half on the fly...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35275

Also Edit: Does anyone know for a fact what the hell the acronym for the Skyline's AWD system actually is. If you look around on the net I've found it spelled a bunch of different ways...even two respectable magazine/car sites have the acronym different -- wish I knew what it actually stood for :confused:
