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

      rb20 r31 dies after revving (idles fine and no sputter)

      You've given zero info about your setup. Step 1: make sure all the standard equipment are working as they should. If they're not, go investigate why. Step 2: Make sure all your wiring is done properly. Know which RB20 you have, most likely "silvertop" a.k.a R32/A31 anything after 1989. Step 3: make sure your ECU is tuned properly. Standard will barely run in this situation.

      Depending on your use case, prop valve will almost always be a better choice.

      Coilovers, what to choose?

      I think... in the US, Silvermax is the equivalent of BC Racing, i.e. cheap Taiwanese built suspension that gets turned for "local" conditions. Back in the day in Australia, you could get MCA street for about $1300 and they were awesome. Don't know about now... In saying that, my real world TEIN experience: I got some street basis z for my old Liberty (BR9), and they were awesome ($800-odd delivered from demon-tweeks in the UK). so Don't discount TEIN

      100% this. Long ago, I had a guy from the R31 club who set my BNR32 up (adjustable arms all round). He did an awesome job, was an after-work kinda thing where I had to bring a slab of beer. My car never drove better, and I stupidly got a random tyre shop to check the toe angles when I changed tyres, and they ruined the alignment. tl:dr- it takes a lot of skill to set up your car lowered from factory properly, and is worth paying the $200+ it takes.
