Damn, some of those 17 year old piss you off don`t they? Dribbling all this unwaranted, imaginary crap.

But anyways, I`d get the R32 GTS-T, of course they`re a better car all round, Nissan intended it that way, and I just personally like the R32.

As for drifting though, if thats your main focus, go for the S13. 7 out of 10 drifters in Japan started out in them, so I guess that speaks for itself.

Having a sportscar isn't all about speed, its also about how it feels to drive, how cruisey it is, how it looks, the interior (which you sit in everyday), etc. 6cylinders are always a bit more refined that a 4, probably quieter, and still produce good power.

Its all relative though isn't it? You're still going to have a car that is fast by pretty much most cars out there.

While a nicely worked s13 will most likely be faster, Skylines are something different. There is reason the Skyline comes above the Silvias in the market.

I have owned both silvia SR20DET fairly modded...

sold it 2 weeks ago and bought a R32 the same day...

Do I regret it....... Hell no!

Fair enough my skyline is alot more medded than my Silvia but I know it would kick my silvias arse.....

and yes, I don't know what I was thinking when i bought my Silvia, they are a much cheaper build quality when compared to the skyline.

if you want the car as a drift weapon, get the Silvia.

reasons..

cheaper

lighter

4 cyliners means less on maintenance and upgrade costs.

eg - 4 spark plugs, 4 pistons

SR20DET has more after market support compared to an RB20DET.

panels are cheaper for silvia's too.

you said for drifting and the Silvia is a better car to drift then the skyline.

But if you are also considering this car as your everyday car, then skyline wins hands down.

S13 silvia is ugly to me (the 180sx is ok but the silvia is ugly)

The R32 skyline shape is the best/most agressive skyline to be built.

The interior is no competition.. just take a look at the 2.

the skyline is just a more solid build compared to the silvia.

stock v stock and same mods on both cars, the silvia will always be quicker.

but I don't think that it is by enough for me to consider a downgrade.

Brakes... there is no comparison there either..

skyline gets 4 pots on the front and 2 on the rear..

silvias get 2 front and 1 rear.

with pissy little discs.

...

pure drift car = silvia

drift/daily use = skyline.

that's my 2 cents.

Cefiro is the best of both worlds! S13 suspension (near enough) with rb power.

And Dumheds NA silvia was pretty bloody quick for some reason(until he got t boned).

Stock for stock I'd say s13 is quicker mainly because it's lighter. Modded the gap dissappers. For a daily driver I wouldn't have an s13 for anything. They've got no class!

I've found that a car with less power to weight that cannot light up is probably better than an overpowered car for launch and slow street drags. But put the same cars on a circuit and see what happens......100-200kph the 33 I've got is devastating to people from the 4cyl brigade, and even stock 33's will lope away through tight corners and roundabouts, but give me open straights and corners, like on a racetrack which it is set up for, and it is history. Anyway street dragging is juvenile and dangerous to life and pocket. Buy a fast car, join a club and go to the racetrack and start testing your commitment to speed. On the road you can pull out of it at a reasonable speed and say 'yeah, I won' but there are no concessions like that at speed events, only laptimes.

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
