NP man.

On a sidenote, I've noticed you mentioned you currently drive an RB20e, and are looking to go towards an RB25DE. My sisters on the market for a skyline/silvia, and we test drove an R33 RB20e, and I liked the feel of it, not too much power to do silly stuff, and no instant increase where a turbo would be etc.

How's it for fuel consumption, general driving etc? You feel the need to push the engine because of the heavier chassis etc?

Bear in mind I have the two door version but overall its fucking excellent

I originally went to buy a RB25DET model but I test drove this one out of interest and it surprised me so I bought it ($3000 4 years ago with 127,000kms)

As you would imagine they handle really well and while you have to give it a bit of nut to pass quickly in 100km/h zones it still has the power but because its just a 2L SOHC theyuse fuck all gas.

I only spend $40 a week on gas currently and that includes 3 trips into town a day and some driving on the weekend, its more economical than my previous VR-4 non turbo and B18C Integra by a long shot.

But yeah certainly the best thing about it is the handling and the chassis, it may be heavier then the R32 and I don't know if its because its the 2 door model but the feedback from the chassis and suspension is excellent, you can always feel exactly whats happening which is nice and if you thrash it around a corner you have plenty of warning that the rears about to come around.

Overall I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't want a really powerful car, I only want the RB25DE because I miss having a car with decent power.

I also rate Silvias for those that don't want a powerful car, I almost bought one over the Skyline but I preferred the way the Skyline feels in the corners.

EDIT: I should also mention in the four years I have had it I've done 60,000kms and its never skipped a beat, not a single mechanical issue whatsoever.

@DeeUnit. I might try the 25det turbo cause I have a mate who has one at his place.

Also about your sister and the 20e, they're the way to go. I use to have one in my c34 laurel, used fuck all petrol and never had problems with the engine and I thrashed it haha.

You call it S15 so that people know it's not a retarded looking S13 or S14.

This!! Facelift S14's are alright but the rear still makes them ugly.

S13 & S15 are the best

Ewwww no. Hate how the rear lights curve up onto the boot lid on the 15s, but do agree with S13 being best shape. Onevia is where it's at, or a sil80. Pure sex.
