A lot of people say 300hp isn't alot, but in a light car like a subaru or gti they move for sure, I think the people that say that play too much video games or haven't experienced it for themself. Feels faster if its an older car for sure too.

Super comfortable, a little bumpy with aftermarket coilovers but otherwise handles really well. If people are willing to pay crazy, inflated prices for them, then it makes them worth it.

Hi Ross, loved the video! Just a correction on pricing, The 33 GTS25T Type M in a 5spd manual was 2.9m yen in 1995. That's equal to $37k AUD ish in 1995 money, and accounting for inflation, that's about 67k in today's money. Hope this clears it up a bit as a 35k R33 turbo brand new would be a fucking ripper deal.

Oh man an AVCR...that brings back memories from my old FD with a Power FC. My R33 runs a Link G4X, and eliminates everything on that dash 😂 Honestly while I do miss a lot of my cars, my R33 GTST was the most comfortable to drive and reliable to absolutely beat on as a daily drive about the city, on road trips, etc... My R33 has been in storage for the better part of 10 years, and these days it has pretty substantial mods and is relegated to staying at home, especially since it doesnt currently meet compliance to be on the road...but hopefully have that sorted in the next few months.

There are definitely still deals out there, but they are quickly becoming very rare to come across. I bought it sight unseen and when I got it I tapped the guards and couldnt believe it... knowing how much money/effort goes into the genuine conversion and it wasn't listed in the ad either was anything else. Good times.

Just bought myself a bone stock 94 r33 gtst for 24k AUD. 150,000km on the odo. Very good condition.

I always tell the younger folk who want an RB/SR go for the other options , go for the 4 Litre Falcon / Commy's etc The new generation including myself are part of the problem , i grew up with these cars (I own one) and i wanted one , but after its been passed down 5-10 people in its lifetime before it finds you, realize that it is not the deal you wanted and youve spent the 20K on a 2 litre turbo that is 30 years old or the NA for 8k There are so many more options more suitable for 8k, 20k or how much spent , the interior of these cars are super boring , the engines are one of the most annoying to work on , parts are not hard to find at all , its people hording them for super stupid prices that also put in the minds of other people that they are sitting on some sort of fortune driving up supply and demand, but if you live in the USA have a good think about it If anyone young blokes or Americans in particular want to fork out on one of these RBs series heres a few tips : DO NOT BUY A Rusty LIVE REG rolling body or in fact a LIVE/DE REG rolling body for 5-10K , youll soon regret it- Find a budget and work off of that you'll get nowhere and it'll only drive prices up meaning that you've not just screwed the next person buying one price wise but also yourself as you are driving the price up on parts , not good :DO NOT BUY An Expensive NA Skyline - its cool yeah , can cruise with the boys but give it a few weeks and youll start feeling the NA "Burden" , youll wish you saved for a Turbo Variant or another car :R32'S / 33'S / 34'S are not the the only cars on the planet to have nice tail lights , cool sounds , shape and nostalgia or even the name itself , choose your options wisely , if it is your dream car to own, then have another think about it , is it cool to see on youtube or own yourself where youre going to fork out on expensive parts and drive it once on the weekends because you dont want to drive the km's high :DO YOUR RESEARCH , DO NOT GET FOOLED , RB's can be reliable , a Sunday cruise or a daily , it depends on the setup , owners intentions etc. like most vehicles its as good as long as it is maintained and not every RB can take a beating : THESE CARS ARE OVER PRICED NO STORY ABOUT IT , youll be stoked seeing one , the excitement of owning one and the rush of cruising in the passenger seat boosting down town or skidding an intersection up - YOU WILL see these cars are ALWAYS ALMOST being REPOSTED EVERY 6 MONTHS - Ive seen it , the 300kw machine that a mates bought and saying they will never sell it only for it to blow a turbo a few weeks later becoming a garden ornament or just simply becoming BORED OF IT , ive seen people spend 20k on an engine and sell the car for 12k, yes these cars are going up price but why should it mean that YOUR'E VERY OWN CAR should be 20k? Is it above 300KW , is it actually in decent condition ? : My point is , spend you're money wisely , have fun and be more open , these cars are older than a majority of the owners

At that point just get a GTR lol, the price difference with the GTST and GTR’s is like $20k-$40k which is what you’re gonna spend anyways to try and make it look like a GTR. I’d understand if it was an R34 GTT since GTR’s are 3-4x the price so it actually is cheaper to replicate an R34

Agreed. As someone that still owns a JDM for the last 15 years, they are overpriced. My car should only be worth 12K to 18K depending on KMs. But people will genuinely pay 25K to 36K for my car. It’s ridiculous because nothing inside the car is worth the amount they’re willing to pay. Dumb prices for dumb buyers imo, and all these Engine Building YTuber’s of JDM cars, especially in America, are simply driving up the price of these cars. You’ll watch American engine builders working on 90s Skylines and Silvia’s, and they’ll talk about how expensive the car is to work on, and how difficult it is to work on these JDM cars. But anyone that knows, knows that most Skylines and Silvia’s are some of the easiest cars to work on. The Japanese made it so these specific cars were simply to work on and modify. Americans will make anything sound hard and expensive, so they can charge stupid amounts of money for work done on these beautiful cars.

Pant chipped and scratched but people are asking 30k. It's stupid. Especially if it's stock. I just can't justify that. The rb is a solid engine but man 90s Nissans out of all of the 90s JDM cars are probably one of the worst in build quality all these years later. I remember my ones odometer stopped working. like what cars odometer stops working? Just stuff like that. Not all but a lot of them are falling apart like that.

I know what you mean about raw tho even compared to the R33 GTR its a hugely different feeling from the car.

they are just a really special car eh.. very lively and just a ton of character! wish i got one when they were 10k aud! haha

I’m in a position to buy a few vehicles now for 20ish k but most things I like are just to much now. I’m 5 yrs to late 😭 I still own a NA mx5, rx8 and wrx but always wanted a 13b turbo and supra/skyline.

I would imagine that it would be similar to a XR6T with the in gear torque, being a inline 6 single turbo like the XR6T.

Xr6t feels way more torquey low down and mid range, a lot more punchy off boost. Rb25 feels pretty slow off boost but comes alive after 4k rpm. Of course depends what turbo set up you have etc. So the two feel very different imo

Nah they would be different beasts. I would probably alike it to comparing a V8 to an inline 4. One is a 4 litre torque monster while the other is a 2.5L( I think) limiter bashing machine. The biggest difference however is that the Barra is undersquare (more low end torque, reliability but no rb like limiter sounds) while the rb is oversquare (high end torque and high reving but stupidly unreliable).

this particular one with the mods drives very different to a barra.. as soon as this hits boost its at limiter VERY quickly.. most barras have a LONG power curve and have a lot more tourqe feel to them.. these RB motors feel week until you hit the boost then they scream.. but like another comment mentioned all depends on mods and how you set each car up

they are still 10k if you find a importer that's not price gouging. Currently in Japan right now. Okinawa to be specific

One of the biggest regrets was selling mine. I saw the current owner on the freeway and around Joondy, if you see this HMU hahaha

Barra of course!!! But I do like a good skyline

so many here in NZ and prices are so high none of them are selling.laws around modifications always changing and the economys crap most people are to scared to spend the money.i tried selling my R32 a while back for a fraction of the cost to build and really mean a fraction didn't get any interest what so ever.

Inside this car it’s basic meanwhile you have a power FCECU about a 3k ecu and a 500$ fuel controler

Bought my S1 in 2021 with a bad engine harness and some rot in the trunk for 10K. Spent 5K for a full naked restoration
