S13 with a RB25DETT (yup..although its not really 2.5 anymore).. 2x HKS 2530's.. 500hp at the wheels apparently. Anyway, I found it interesting.

Could be one of Australia's quickest s13? It ran an 11.4 before the engine was rebuilt as it is now.. scary

love reading the sr vs rb threads on other forums.

such as this (middle of 1st page onwards):

http://www.pandablue.com/nissansilvia/foru...?TID=13660&PN=1

in the end it all comes down to bias.

with sr owners claiming sr's to be better and rb owners claiming rbs to be better. same thing happens on supra forums with 2jz vs rb26. blah blah blah.

but very impressive sil's popping up. and its interesting that the rb20det engine weighs around the same as a ca18de...

S13's are good bang for buck... when modifying. Skylines's are solid foundations to build a beast on.

So it comes down to what you can afford and what your modification curve wants to look like, small investment, quick huge return (S13), or huge investment steady gradual return (R32/33/34).

RB26 in an S13 is just cheating coz that's taking the best of both worlds :D

    • Some times you just have to settle 
    • Good stuff, I suppose a measly 630rwkw should do for now.
    • It’s at 30psi, there’s still plenty left in it and Adam said it was making the power easily!! We ran out of injector though 
    • Car is now back - I have the Nismo fender extensions on it too. Body place did a really good job with melding them to fit the sedan.   I'd take a photo of the whole car, but it's somewhat hard to do from where it's parked in the carport. The OEM'ness is growing on me. As is the desire to buy wheels - But it would be flat out dumb to buy maybe fitting wheels with minimum precision and rush to fit them before going on a Tasmania road trip. Probably better to do that one with OEM spec wheels on it. I also bought a pod filter. It is not OEM spec.
    • The 32 still sits untouched with the broken gearbox. So a little off topic but not worth having a whole new thread. The daily starlet has gotten back on the road after 9 months. Suspected blown HeadGasket at a track day resulted in a bit of scope creep rebuild. The motor got a full tear down, pressure testing, machined for MLS HG, ARP head bolts, new bearings, all new seals etc also noticed some fatigue on the stock exhaust manifold so obviously the answer was a steam pipe manifold and highflow turbo. The exhaust was also looking tired with some rust holes. So I got a slightly over kill system made up consisting of Vibrant resonator and muffler with a highflow cat. The new highflow turbo had a larger inlet so instead of adapting the old intake got a case of the might as wells and had a nicer alloy intake made After the run in was finished i bought a (probably considered retro/vintage) EBC becasue "might as well"
