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.

    • Hey everyone!!  I've noticed that whenever I do my oil changes, after putting 4L in, the oil level sits at the top mark in the dipstick. This is after letting the old oil drain for a very long time too! I've checked the oil level daily for the past few mornings. It happens every time and it's confusing because all the threads say that it should take about 4.7L (With some just adding the full 5L) My next thought is to figure out if the dipstick I have is correct so could someone please tell me the length of the RB25DET engine oil dipstick?  I've checked images of some of the genuine dipsticks, but none of them have the length in it. https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-engine-oil-level-dipstick-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-stagea-c35-laurel-y34-cedric-gloria-rb25de-t-neo?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOortQXofgmiHVRKuIaiKuygL4k0Ewp68c3isGZk0vvKOJ7Yqf3iB However.... the engraving on the genuine ones say 05002 while mine says AA000. This makes me believe that maybe I have a wrong dipstick? I just want to confirm before I buy a new one. The car is a fresh import from Japan so I don't have details of the previous owner to ask him. Thanks in advance 🙏🏾 
    • Sport. I didn’t rebleed it cause I just removed the slave and left connected.    I will change line and slave and see how it goes.  
    • Oh and how is the rattle when foot is on the clutch ?
    • Did you get the sport or track ? From what the documentation says the uniclutch has a small amount of movement to disengage.  So your story of tricky pedal setup seems common.    Hopefully you got it bled up too, as the bite point moving around is usually either plates wearing in or air in the line.
