It seems to be so hard to make decision between getting an r33 skyline or a 180sx. They both seem to be able to go very hard.

180's seem to be becoming very popular

I read the forums and alot of people are selling their skylines to get a 180sx, i am not sure why ?

Any suggestions anyone?

AM NOT!

diabolik1 - delete your sent items.

chillgoon,

i LOOOVED my skyline so much, but insurance was a problem as i am saving for a house. the 180 is completely different to drive. the 180 responds well to less mods (ie would take a LOT less to make a 180 an 11 second car than an R33 gtst). Cabin space is muchly reduced in the 180 as is interior quality - its a lot more plastic than the skylines interior... but, for a fair bit less, its still a VERY good car.

and yes - thats my goal - 11 seconds.

Pranks got it about right,,,,Insurance,,,Insurance.....Seems to me most people buying Skylines have incorporated their 1st years Insurance into the car loan,,,then get a rude shock when renewal time comes around.

Hows the house hunting going Prank,,,see your already modding the little baby,,,,naughty boy........

We have fitted 5 180sx/s13 cars with rb20dets the rb25det s would be great the rb20det goes well i think both cars are fun to drive.

I was blown off by a 180sx sr20det while driving a twin turbo supra so they do go well.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
