hey all,

just wondering which out of the two people think is better?? i already have an r32 gts-4 but thinking about selling it and buying a silvia project car and do it up into a strawberry faced silvia. but im not sure whether to do it or just hold on to the skyline?? what do u guys think. anyone with personal experience of owning either of the cars and good and bad points they have?? or just based on looks and performance.

id say the s13....just coz im not a fan of the gts4's, if it were a gtst however...i still like silvias though. but i could never own one, im not a fan of the sr20...the power delivery is like an on/off switch...i like the smoothness of the line.

depends what you like.

s13 silvia with strawberry face is gonna be way to common in the very near future

not as common as r32's

r34 fronts (bee-r kits) are bloody expensive, like i think around $10-11k for full (front & rear) bee-r kit

http://www.garage-13.com/ quotes price for R34 front end conversion at from $5,300 (which i think doesn't include R34 headlights from memory, you'll have to check with the website).

strawberrys (at same site) are ~ $2,750-2990 with swap over (installed but only in melbourne)

personally I prefer r32's, they just feel like a lot better built car. s13 interior looks cheap and tacky. SR20DET is heaps better at lower RPM but not as revvy as RB20DET.

having said that, i'd probably go the S13 over a gts-4 simply coz of RWD factor... although u can just pop a fuse on the atessa.

Just pop a switch in series with the fuse and have on demand RWD/4WD..

You dont have to go full Beer Kit either, there is the standard gtt converson for 4500 i think it was? Also from garage 13. Personly i tihnk the choice of RWD and 4WD comes down to personal driving preferences, if your into drift then id go the silvia. If you like striaght out acceleration/speed (as i do) then skyline is better option.

Also as someone mentioned above, the skyline build quality is much better. The egine smoother. etc etc.

Maybe

Strawberry silvia/upgraded seats(silvia cloth is like a door mat)/ rb20/25 conversion.....

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
