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

    • Been a long while since i have updated this money pit lol.  Have had a few tune related issues with the car, first blowing the frost plug out the back of the head and then blowing the headgasket 3 months later, which has now been retuned and sorted. Done a few little changes along the way as well, i wasn't happy with the wheel and brake setup, so start of last year i managed to get myself a set of r35 brakes and nismo lmgt4 18x10.5 +15 Upgraded to now running a Precision Gen 2 6870 with a 1.15ar, to be honest felt more like a downgrade as the car feels much lazier around town compared to the Gen2 6466 previously. 0761719E-5683-43F7-BD3B-4BD94335DFF4.mov
