Just saved up enough money to be able to purchase another car but i have a hard choice ahead me i am intrested in the above cars, and the requirments out of the cars are 250hp, easily modified and extensive body kit + exterior mod range. So i stuck between the R32 or S13 is well within my budget with a couple of goodies going staright on or R33 or S14 where there will be lack of goodies for a while, tuff choice just after some opinions and thoughts

Thanks Jim

Id prob say not the s13. Can look tacky with bodykits etc, getting quite dated. s14 is a good choice if its series 2 olther wise the 33 looks the goods with the right kit and can be easily modified to the power level you want. The rb20 in the 32 will take a bit more to get to the same level.

Buy the cheapest 32 you can find that's got decent paint work. spend the rest on an rb25, coilovers, swaybars and whatever else your budget can afford.

imo 33's are the better car only because of the engine. 32 has a better handling and more direct steering.

As for looks it's down to personal preference. i prefer 32 and 34 looks as i think they are fairly simiular tbh. each to there own.

In saying that i had a drive of a friends S14 a while ago and that's only got 180rwkw and it felt very responsive and handled great (lighter car), until smoke came pouring out the back and apparently the turbo gasket had blown.

Since i have one i will go for s14a! DONT GET SERIES I, the turbo aint as good!

Light and cheap, i have been told that fuel consumption is much better than a 33 by a mate and it does make sense!

I cant really compare but im happy with what i got

Unigroup were shocked and said they had never see it before so i dont know if you can go directly by it but i got 203.4rwkw with 16.5psi (yavus still cant believe its a stock turbo because of how easily it was doing it but it is), ces 3" zorst, hybrid intercooler, 040 fuel pump, SAFC II, pod, bov, and other small things. So it took nothing to go up from around 110rwkw, so im very happy with my car, the zorst is the best part since i got the quiet version so long trips are no issue at all! in fact i look forward to them!

Also i dont know why my avatar has rb20e in it!! i didnt put it there so im sorting it out! my car has an sr20 blacktop (stock) just incase there was any confusion!

you probably thought that because 33 steering is the least direct out of all the skylines and silvias. might make the car feel lighter and easier to handle. they revised the steering and made it feel more like the r32 when they developed the 34's. direct steering is better for racing and more assisted softer steering is better for a daily driver.

What do you want the car for? just a daily or a leisure toy...

there is no difference between series 1 or 2 for the S14 in the engine.

if you are making 203rwkw in an S14, you do not have a stock turbo.

even S15's struggle to make 200rwkw with pfc and supporting mods and something like 17psi of boost.

my series 1 made 175rwkw with 15psi boost and safc, fmic, pump, exhaust, pod etc..

same dyno as you.

same tuner as you.

I hate these threads, everyone recomends the car that they own and then bag the others saying rb25>rb20, r33s are boats, rb>sr, etc. It turns into an arguement of who has the best car

get the car you want and like the most

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?

      What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
