1978 Nissan Gloria Or S13 Silvia?

Hey!

Im actually on here buying a stagea but while im here, i have an issue that needs solving.

The reason being is that between myself and a neighbour we own an SR20.

Forged Pistons and rods, balanced crank, blueprinted cracktested block, Ported+ polished head, inlet manifold port-matched, bigger valves, Crow cams, adjustable cam gears etc, all built by PLR. Redline of about 9500. High compression N.A. engine. Might drop the compression later and run a turbo/supercharger. But for now it makes plenty of mumbo.

Question is - what does it go in?

Obviously a RWD Manual. His idea is to buy a cheap S13 with a blown / tired engine and do it up.

I reckon go a lil more old school, throw it in something different that still suits the driveline, bit of a sleeper, something cool looking with a lil class that will get peoples attention and admiration. Not just another S13.

I found a nissan gloria... What would you choose? Consider that whichever car is taken, brakes, suspension, differential, gearbox and clutch etc will be uprated to suit the transplant.

This is the gloria -

Or another one of these.... :-(

Thanks guys!!!

get the Groria! so oldschool cool. you'll have to put up with 1970's tech to support your transplant tho... and once you put a new engine in you'll have to make sure it meets emissions standards from the year of the engine.

get the S13 for plug and play ease of use.

Get a couple pairs of boxing gloves and duke it out....LOL..

But seriously... Both are nice so it's all up to you both discussing it and someone giving in, or find another alternative.

Gloria just to be different.

Awesome. Im hoping to get a few responses then show him the thread haha...

I just figure that either way, itll be getting new suspension, brakes, gearbox, diff, computer, etc etc, its not going to matter performance wise which option is taken. Just it'd be cooler to have a gloria, that looks like its just had a slight hot rod style makeover, but houses an off its titty 2.0L.

The Gloria comes with a 2.0L, 5 speed rear wheel drive setup, so i cant see many issues with compliancing dramas. Especially seeing as the thing is 30 years old. It will be a daily driver.
