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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
