well i've always loved the shape of the s15 it's such an appealing looking car and i was speaking to a mate last night that's owned both s15 and r34 and he thinks that the sr20 has much more torque and he just generally loved it more than the rb motor so i guess that's something to think about.

on another note, my gearbox has finally arrived from the US of A. Leon's doing the swap for me this Friday, keeeen!

I've had my fair share of Nissan's and engine combo's, large capacity engines will always have more torque that's just common knowledge. SR20's have no balls what so ever, RB25 Neo are pretty good, RB26 with small turbos are great plenty of balls, RB26 with massive turbo have no balls at all. VQ35de has f**k loads of balls one of favourite engines. The S15's are sexy looking cars, best Silvia's are those with the basic engine mods Cams, computer, intercooler, injectors and HKS GTRS turbo f**k yeah.

This bloke seems to this otherwise, but i do trust your judgement and experience. Well i'd love to turbo or supercharge my v35 once i'm on my opens but i don't know if i would prefer to sell it and buy another jdm car that's already turbo'd and work from there. Owell, i've got ages to think about it... :(

The S chassis feels torque-ier... If that makes any sense. When you're driving and S, you feel like there's more coming to the wheels. You feel like there's more response. But if you watch the rate at which the needles move, not so much.

Bigger engine will be able to provide more torque. Just depends on tune.

Jump in an S2000 and then your car. Take a look at which feels like it's doing 0-100 faster and which actually does it faster.

Was discussing this with the mrs yesterday. If you were to buy a track hack, what car would it be? She suggested a R32. I was thinking more a S13 or 180sx with RB running gear. Between power to weight.

Hiace van with a 2J f*ck yeah

ahhh thats too loud and proud.....

I was hoping it was a bit of an accident, as in an older lady named 'gaye' had those plates. Was never likely to be that but was hoping a gay guy wouldnt be that retarded.

Yep, i've never spoken to him but the boys over there say he's very loud and open about his gay-ness. First time i saw it i thought the same thing, lady named gay who was born in 69 but sure enough is a very homosexual bloke..

i've got a s14 with sr (200kw) and a sil80 with rb25 (250kw on old motor)

rb has heaps more torque than sr. s15 is lighter

s chasis is lighter thats why it "feels" faster

An RB25 isn't overly difficult either in terms of space./

all rbs are same except 30 which is taller

you want a cheap track car- s chasis(s13/180), rb30 with rb20 ecu & converted cas/ sr20 with 200kw(turbo,cooler,exhaust, s15 injectors &remap), coilovers, adjustable arms and r33 brakes. be the most fun you had thats cheap & reliable.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech!
