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.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
