well i've always loved the shape of the s15 it's such an appealing looking car and i was speaking to a mate last night that's owned both s15 and r34 and he thinks that the sr20 has much more torque and he just generally loved it more than the rb motor so i guess that's something to think about.

on another note, my gearbox has finally arrived from the US of A. Leon's doing the swap for me this Friday, keeeen!

I've had my fair share of Nissan's and engine combo's, large capacity engines will always have more torque that's just common knowledge. SR20's have no balls what so ever, RB25 Neo are pretty good, RB26 with small turbos are great plenty of balls, RB26 with massive turbo have no balls at all. VQ35de has f**k loads of balls one of favourite engines. The S15's are sexy looking cars, best Silvia's are those with the basic engine mods Cams, computer, intercooler, injectors and HKS GTRS turbo f**k yeah.

This bloke seems to this otherwise, but i do trust your judgement and experience. Well i'd love to turbo or supercharge my v35 once i'm on my opens but i don't know if i would prefer to sell it and buy another jdm car that's already turbo'd and work from there. Owell, i've got ages to think about it... :(

The S chassis feels torque-ier... If that makes any sense. When you're driving and S, you feel like there's more coming to the wheels. You feel like there's more response. But if you watch the rate at which the needles move, not so much.

Bigger engine will be able to provide more torque. Just depends on tune.

Jump in an S2000 and then your car. Take a look at which feels like it's doing 0-100 faster and which actually does it faster.

Was discussing this with the mrs yesterday. If you were to buy a track hack, what car would it be? She suggested a R32. I was thinking more a S13 or 180sx with RB running gear. Between power to weight.

Hiace van with a 2J f*ck yeah

ahhh thats too loud and proud.....

I was hoping it was a bit of an accident, as in an older lady named 'gaye' had those plates. Was never likely to be that but was hoping a gay guy wouldnt be that retarded.

Yep, i've never spoken to him but the boys over there say he's very loud and open about his gay-ness. First time i saw it i thought the same thing, lady named gay who was born in 69 but sure enough is a very homosexual bloke..

i've got a s14 with sr (200kw) and a sil80 with rb25 (250kw on old motor)

rb has heaps more torque than sr. s15 is lighter

s chasis is lighter thats why it "feels" faster

An RB25 isn't overly difficult either in terms of space./

all rbs are same except 30 which is taller

you want a cheap track car- s chasis(s13/180), rb30 with rb20 ecu & converted cas/ sr20 with 200kw(turbo,cooler,exhaust, s15 injectors &remap), coilovers, adjustable arms and r33 brakes. be the most fun you had thats cheap & reliable.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
