So again, this is part of helping me decide between a R32 GTST of a 180SX w/CA18DET

So I'm trying to build an Autox car that has VERY neutral handling, maybe more understeer at the limit than oversteer. I also want to try to pull about 1g on a skidpad and get through a slalom course pretty quickly.

Now I also want something with a decent ride (think stock WRX ride quality) but with a stiff chassis, that can still go through corners with little roll.

What do you guys suggest I look at?

Hi Daemos, Skyline have double wishbone front suspension and Silvia/180/200/240 have MacPherson struts. So if you do exactly the same mods to both (ie; spend the same amount of money) the Skyline will always handle better.

As for what upgrades there are, it is puely a matter of how much money want to spend. I suggest you have a read of the Skylines articles on the Whiteline website;

www.whiteline.com.au

If you then have any specific questions, please ask away.

    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
