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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?

      Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.

      I'm not sure where you are, but United Terrey Hills has E85.
