Hey Kye were you going along Glynburn Rd tthis arvo, reckon i saw you near the Magill rd lights?

whats the diff between a s14 sr20det and a s13 sr20det?

blacktop and red top?

They shouldn't be referred to as black top and red top. They should be referred to as VTC and non-VTC SR20's, the reason for this is because 180sx's after 1994 came out with SR20 that has a black rocker cover but is identical to the "Red Top" SR20's fitted to the S13's.

The main difference between the S13's and S14's is that the S14's came equipped with VTC (Variable Timing Control) and came with a bigger T28 as opposed to the T25G that the S13 and 180sx SR's came with. The other differences are a different intake manifold and a different oil filter thread than the earlier SR's.

The reason why you have to be careful how you refer to them is because there are a lot of people who have a later model SR20 from a 180sx thing that because they have a black rocker cover they have a "Black Top" SR20.

This doesn't cause a problem until they do a service, they ask for an oil filter for a "Black Top" SR20 and they get what they ask for which has a bigger thread than what is fitted to their engine (M20x1.5 as opposed to 3/4x16). The difference is only very slight (19.05mm Vs' 20mm) and the filter will fit on and tighten up but when it has pressure put on it it will come off. So people finish their service and go for a strap, as they get high in the revs (where the oil pressure is higher) the filter pops off dropping all the and dropping the main oil gallery pressure to 0. By the time they notice and clutch it it's too late and they have spun their bottom end; All because they called their engine a "Black Top".

lol its amazing! underground car racing gangs!! wow is like organised crime! its like red faction! we should all hide in our houses where its safe...

sorry but the start of that media was abit rediculous.... way to general and it makes good safe(when used correctly) performance mods sound like demon spawn.. diddnt know on a regular basis up to 200 cars would meet up for organised racing and burnouts... ITS FAST AND FURIOUS LOCAL STYLE!

althought there were some bits of truth and some well stated comments its amazing how words can make anyone with a nice car look like a hoon to the general public

isee officer niel said he is working with responsable car clubs and named some but i see we didnt get named with them . well i guess the name skyline wasent thrown around either.

haha true no skylines.. i did appreciate that part of the article stating that it wasnt all bad... but i wouldnt have expected sau to be stated as one of the better clubs

    • Yup, bought this bad boy and hopefully it will be ready to pickup today. Had $5 credit on top of it so it worked out really well!
    • Yeah it is really until until you get a feel for it....then it is easy. Which is no use to you really. I'd buy that torque wrench. One thing from sure, many (most?) tyre shots overtighten the f**k out of wheel nuts, so don't worry if they were tighter when you tried to take them off compared to when you do them up. I've had some crazy tight ones come back from shops, quite apart from the potential damage to the thread, I can't see a smaller person taking the wheel off on the side of the road
    • Hey mate, thread dredging hahah To answer you directly, yes I had my itbs oversized and custom butterflies etc made by EFI Hardware in Sydney back around 2017-2018 if memory serves. My setup had a vast amount of other changes too though, so no direct comparisons unfortunately. i went from oem itbs, HPI manifold and internal gate hks 2835 pro S; to 49mm itbs, cnc port matched Nismo plenum, RB25 Neo lower runner adapter hand port matched, r31house v2 Takoashi MAX equal length twin scroll manifold with twin 38mm tial gates and a FP HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll real hosing. feom power Fc to a link fury wired by 12volt, r32 gtr fuel tank conversion with frenchys twin 460 / surge tabk fuel hanger combo kit, 1659cc injectors, full 4 inch turbo back stainless exhaust, Z34 6 speed, Tomei 2way with 4.3 final drive and a ton of other shit. ive posted elsewhere here with complete run down, but here's a graph from its initial tune with no boost control on, 20psi gate springs only and e85.   7542AE72-DA92-4E0B-8660-B0940FEA7F24.mov
