Do you even read what you type? Seriously?

We're talking about the same car with different engine configurations and because he says the one with more power will be faster you call him stupid and narrow minded. WTF? Then say the NA is power challenged and list engine transplants as some kind of NA is awesome so ner. Get a grip, remember the turbo model also has slightly better susension set-up, 33 at least cbf looking into the others for this post. Same driver the turbo is going to be faster, straigh, twisty or backflips. Same car + more power = faster car mmkay. Your listed transplants don't forget will again make more power with FI.

As for "on the right winding road" yeah well under the right conditions I could beat Mike Tyson to death with my wang but those circumstances are pretty specific and don't really apply to anything.

You sure they were 'racing' you? Sounds more like you are just one of those wankers that 'races' everyone at the lights. Just because you think everyone is challenging your manhood doesn't mean they are.

This post makes sense and clearly doesn't belong here.

You're delusional.

This post it too long.

Yeah I do champ and if you read the quote he stated "any NA car" and in no way did he mention an NA skyline which is why I still stand behind my post of saying stupidest comment ever. Me listing other engine transplants was to open up your eyes that there are other NA engines out there that can come up with good useable power.The power challenged comment was directed at my car saying I have gone from turbo to NA and MY car is power challenged. Maybe YOU should comprehend what you you are reading before typing a rebuttle.

And not once in my post did I call him stupid so dont quote things that wernt said.

As for the mike tyson comment well we will leave that as is I think.....

I find it quite bemusing that some GTS owners are trying to justify why they bought a NA vehicle instead of a turbo one. You did it because you wanted to regardless of whatever reason. Therefore, in other words - it's fate neverless.

I don't think any NA owner should make comments that they think they can outrun, outspeed a turbo car as this is totally incorrect and dreamy. That said, doesn't matter what kind of vehicle you drive, as long as you're happy that's the main thing Turbo or otherwise.

He mentions any other car besides a skyline where exactly?

Somehow you think I don't know other NA engines exist? How are any other engines in any way shape or form relavent to this?

I appologise most sincerely you called his comment the stupidest comment you had ever seen here not he himself stupid :(

I officially declare this topic wasteland material.

Oh yeah, I am a champ. Finally recognition.

There his words not mine if he was talking about RB20, RB25 NA's I would of had no reason to respond because I would agree but in his post which I have quoted over and over he said "any NA"

And as for the stupidest comment and calling him stupid they are two totally different things obviously you dont have the smarts to figure that out.

I agree it is wasteland material

End rant.

Why N/A skylines?

Cause I can buy a replacement engine for about NZ$300 or another auto transmission for NZ$50. Not to mention you can get cheap upgrades by buying gtst parts (eg brakes etc)

Fantastic DIY car - it would take some serious f**k ups to really break it.

Having said that I have seen a s13 with a modifed s14 NA motor in it give the turbo boys a scare.

1:10 around Wakefield Park is more than just a "scare". There's plenty of more-than-light-tune turbo Silvias and Skylines that would struggle to break into 1:12 there.

And Dumhed's engine is running a stock bottom end - to my knowledge aside from an exhaust and intake all he's got is cams and PowerFC. So its not exactly some purpose built race engine either.

As for "on the right winding road" yeah well under the right conditions I could beat Mike Tyson to death with my wang but those circumstances are pretty specific and don't really apply to anything.

Actually, I was referring to any country road that isn't comprised of high speed sweepers.

So, since you're in Melbourne, I was referring to stuff like Black Spur, Great Ocean Road between Anglesea and Apollo Bay, and to a certain extent Mt Dandenong. So the circumstances aren't that "specific", if you're into cornering. Roads like that aren't rare or specific, its just hard to find them as relatively unpopulated as the examples I've given.

On GOR, when you go west just past Apollo Bay and into the forest, the corners open up and become a lot more sweeping, and that's where all the extra power and taller final drive of a turbo will give it a significant advantage. But those are 160km/hr corners+ (not that I'd ever condone going that fast on public roads, of course).

However, on the parts where it hugs the water, and you're in 2nd / 3rd gear, the extra response, better grip to power ratio, and lighter weight of a NA car would give it more than a fighting chance of keeping up.

I've refrained from posting in this thread for a while. the guy that started it is an idiot. But seriosuly guys. power is far from a defining point of a good car. Cars are personal prefrence if were all created the same life would be f**ken boring, some people love NA engines some people like turbos. Some people can drive a piece of shit car round a track faster then an ego driven f**kwit in an aspirated car. Seriously this thread is useless.

the answer to "WHY" is because they want one, for their own reasons, they need not explain anything to anyone so get the f**k over it!

i have driven both a NA sr20 and turbo sr20 powered cars. the turbo was running 9psi, pod and exhaust. the NA was running k&n panel filter, advanced timing and full exhaust. out of slow corners (2000rpm in second, just cruising round town) the na would pull away slightly till about 4000rpm when you would be wainting for the throw back in the seat that the turbo gave you the NA did still have a kick at around 5k thanks to the extractors, but not as much as the turbo. if it was rolling start from around 3500rpm then the NA would only pull away for a second before it was easily reeled in by the turbo.

now r33s are slightly different since they come into boost much earlier than an sr20, so the performance side of it leans much more towards the turbo. but that said, for an everyday driver with a bit of thrashing a NA is going to be cheaper on the pocket. not chance of turbo letting go and doing other damage. but then it is easier to get performance gains out of the turbo.

if a NA was built to put out the same power as a turbo then it would probably be more laggy than the turbo.

i would personally go the turbo, but that isn't just for the performance, but the noise, and whole package that goes with it.

I've been following dumheads build up on nissansilvia for years. he surely knows his stuff and has a well setup car. There is another guy on there with an s14 motor running a similar setup but with a SAFC instead of a power fc I think his username was boodies or something.

This thread is over lol..

1. People have their own reasons for owning an N/A skyline, whether it be restrictions, financial, specific interest etc..

2. A car might be better than another on paper, but the car doesn't drive itself.. A large percentage comes down to driver skill.

3. Can't we all just get along? :sorcerer:

Everyone in the world has a differant opinion, Whether a minority has the same opinion, or a majority have the same opinion, it still doesnt matter because in some way everyone is still going to have a slightly differant opinion on something, It comes down to people being able to accept that there is no RIGHT or WRONG with some things, and we need to accept other peoples opinions, Personally i think 4 cylinders are a complete waste of time and money and i would never own one, But that is my personal opinion, Its not right or wrong and im not gonna try and persuade everyone to think the same, Thats what we need alot more of here :stupid:

Personally i think 4 cylinders are a complete waste of time and money and i would never own one, But that is my personal opinion, Its not right or wrong and im not gonna try and persuade everyone to think the same

Why? Some of the most enjoyable cars to drive are 4 cylinders, assuming you want to drive fast and you're not just interested in cruising around.

The fastest "production" car around the Nurburgring is a NA 4 banger, and it runs a time the next GT-R hasn't got a hope in hell of beating.

I am a 33 GTST owner, all im going to say to the knockers of the n/a motors are Try doing the ultimate control skidpan day in your turbo, the N/a cars were much neater and more consistant compared to the turbo cars that keep spining in the tight events due to the large amounts of power they had.

Its now how many kw's you have, it how you use the kw's

Boys get a grip here (especially NA owners). First things first, all Skylines are great and kickarse cars to own, to drive around and to bring to the track. Doesn't matter if their small, big, long, fat, modified, stock as a farken rock, black, grey, green, blue or pink for that matter... now, having got that of my chest. Let's face it, if you own a NA vehicle there's no way in hell you can beat a supercharged, turbocharged or FI car. Face it, this is called reality. Trying to make up excuses that on twisties or curves you would outrun the above vehicles is absurd and not too wise.

Saying that a NA (not just Skylines, but any vehicle or make) will give you better driving skills is again a denial as this does not improve your driving skills. It's a bit last say, if I buy a 'Type-R' sticker and wack it on the back of my arse, it would be my vehicle run faster - yes, it certainly does mate - in your own world and mind it does.

Ok fellas, now; NA's do have advantages or PRO's if yo will. 1) They are more fuel-efficient (in today's world, damn I wish mine was more fuel-efficient); 2) No Turbo Lag; 3) Less hard to maintain, 4) You can't blow your turbo or have it die on your because you don't have one; and lucky last 5) You won't really drag much people (Which will endanger your life) because you know in your gut that if you drag a turbo/supercharged vehicle they will rip you up for dead.

It is also absurd if you compare Turbos and NA's together. It's like comparing Apples and Oranges, Penises and Vaginas...well, you get the picture no need to dig too deep here. Look fellas, just love your ride for what it is, what it means to you. My first car was an old BA Ford Falcon, still miss it heaps as it used to take me to and from school, it had the raw power and also it was comfy to ride in on trips. So yeah, don't compare your vehicle with others mates.

I would never compared my GST-T to a GT-R. Although my beast has shitloads of mods and probably would keep up or destroy a GT-R, this is not the point; I love my ride for what it is, not what it can do or should do. I love all Skylines, NA , TURBO, TWIN-TURO - love them all.

When I see a fellow Skyline next to me on the lights, I wind down my window and say hello. I don't really give a rat's vagina if he then jetted off and blew me off with his BOV. So what? I know the power of my beast, I know it's potential and the countless hours of work I have put into working on it, so there's no need to prove this to anyone but myself.

Peace all. No offense indeeded for anyone or any Skyline. I love all Skylines....

Try giving your Skyline a name and you will soon understand that it's your beast not your metal automobile on wheels.

Mine is called "Nismosus" - ましたわ.

Laterz,

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
