^^^very well said^^^

Nugget im sorry, but my best friend is one of the better drivers i know and he himself tells me his car is a joke (speed wise). so im not biased u could call him if u want, its a fact the ca engined silvia's r better suited to racing old men in wheelchairs.

i aint biased man, i speak the truth, look at the stats as well! i beat a 180sx running 1 bar boost b4, the guy thought i had a turbo, ive run almost even with 200sx's b4 as well. i tink the silvia owners would be quite biased as for skyline NA owners, well we just speak the truth!

i cruise with silvia's (s13,s14,s15 various mods) on a weekly basis, and have had friends with the cars in question.

If your a damn good driver, then you wont get beaten so badly whilst in a Ca-T. Those Ca's rev high, their redlines are high, but they simply dont produce enough tourque at those higher revs and simply run out of puff above 6ish.

If anything, im a bit bias towards S13's rather then skylines.

I used to own a manual ca18de silvia. I prefer my r32 alot better, beter build quality and turbo aswell. However the ca is an awsome engine, So strong, and so cheap. A ca has so much potential, Not saying that sr aren't good, they r gr8 but there's something about a Ca that make me prefer it. It just better built. Neither though it's got nowhere the power in comparison in stock format.

Ca just seems smoother and just like to rev's it self way up int the high rpm. I've saw my ca go all the way to 8400 rpm, and i think it could gone even more. I ran out of bituman. They just go hard.

i've driven both the sr and ca silvias and obviously my car. there is only a bit of a differences off the line between the sr and the ca (sr is more torquey, obviously). they both go like shit compared to the n/a skyline though. its no camparision. the silvia is better for drift though, imo, due to the chassis....

Hey guys,

Sorry to kill the mood in here but I own an s13 Silvia (the one with the sr20det engine).

I'm assuming a N/A skyline is slower than a turbo skyline right? Because I have raced countless amounts of turbo skylines, r32s, r33s, r34s and have not yet been beaten by anyone i've met on the road.

The only skyline that has beaten me is one I already knew: a good friends r33 gtst that has had about 15k spent on engine mods.

I've had very very close races, neck to neck.. but nothing has pulled away from me yet.

I REPEAT: No turbo skyline i've met on the road other than of course GTRs have beaten me from 0-180km/hr on the street. I am running stock boost.

I have driven a N/A skyline, N/a silvia, ca18det silvia, turbo skylines.. borrringg.

My car would not be considered heavily modified, but I do know that at a stock 164kw, 1200kgs and after a 3" exhaust, air filter.. your looking at close to 170-180kw.. What kind of drugs are nismoman18 smoking? A NA whale beating an sr20det running 1 bar? Was the guy behind the wheel of the 180sx unconscious? and rolling backwards?

So my answer to the topic would be, yes you could probably beat any S13 except for an sr20det s13, which will smoke your sorry ass.

Lets look at the quarter mile times on the stock vehicles:

NISSAN Silvia S13 1.8L Non-turbo = 17.20 sec

NISSAN Silvia/180sx S13 1.8L Turbo = 15.08 sec

NISSAN Silvia S13 2L Non-turbo = 16.50 sec

NISSAN Silvia/180sx S13 2L Turbo = 14.30 sec

NISSAN Skyline R32 GTS-T = 14.63 sec

NISSAN Skyline R33 GT-ST-25T = 14.39 sec

I dont have times for the N/A skyline anywhere, but I imagine if the R33 GTST does a 14.39 we can all agree that the NA's are slower?

ps. My next car is looking like its going to be an r32 GTR. I am not a skyline hater :D

i will have to agree with pentae on what he said. i drive an NA r32 with rb25de in it (yes, they do exist). Its much lighter than the 33s and i still lose out to silvias with sr20det. mods i have are the usual air pod and catback exhaust.

i am sure that they are not nicknamed the baby gozilla engines for nothing as compared to the powerful rb26dett.

it happened to me and i'm facting it.

I've been to the drags a number of times and seen N/A skylines and silvia's drag, to be honest there's not that much difference in the times. The silvia's (SR20 DE) will do consistant low 16's for the 1/4, I have seen a couple of guys get them into the high 15's.

The Rb25DE guys had times ranging from mid 15's to high 16's.

But from what I have seen is the silvia seems to get off the mark quicker and the RB engines have better top end power.

RS13 K's weigh 1170kg and have 200hp 200lbft, this equates to 151kw and 274Nm, not the 164kw stated. This is also using japanese 101ron fuel. using 98 ron its down to around 145kw stock. Sure it is well known that the SR responds better to modifications, but when the R33 GTS-t has 170-180kW standard on 98 ron, and only weighs ~150kg heavier, these two cars are very close in stock form.

RS13 Silvia K's power/weight=7.767kg/Kw

R33 GTS-t power/weight=7.444kg/Kw

This debate is pointless, silvia guys will say silvia, skyline boys will say skyline and a few unbias opinions in between. A skyline is a classic sports saloon, a silvia is a disposable sports car. Depends what you are looking for.

      My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.

      I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
