Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

MTQ

whats the diff between a s14 sr20det and a s13 sr20det?

blacktop and red top?

They shouldn't be referred to as black top and red top. They should be referred to as VTC and non-VTC SR20's, the reason for this is because 180sx's after 1994 came out with SR20 that has a black rocker cover but is identical to the "Red Top" SR20's fitted to the S13's.

The main difference between the S13's and S14's is that the S14's came equipped with VTC (Variable Timing Control) and came with a bigger T28 as opposed to the T25G that the S13 and 180sx SR's came with. The other differences are a different intake manifold and a different oil filter thread than the earlier SR's.

The reason why you have to be careful how you refer to them is because there are a lot of people who have a later model SR20 from a 180sx thing that because they have a black rocker cover they have a "Black Top" SR20.

This doesn't cause a problem until they do a service, they ask for an oil filter for a "Black Top" SR20 and they get what they ask for which has a bigger thread than what is fitted to their engine (M20x1.5 as opposed to 3/4x16). The difference is only very slight (19.05mm Vs' 20mm) and the filter will fit on and tighten up but when it has pressure put on it it will come off. So people finish their service and go for a strap, as they get high in the revs (where the oil pressure is higher) the filter pops off dropping all the and dropping the main oil gallery pressure to 0. By the time they notice and clutch it it's too late and they have spun their bottom end; All because they called their engine a "Black Top".

Anyone seen the front page of todays Sunday paper (and the 4 page spread)? Doesn't bode well for car enthusiasts thats for sure.........

Some info here http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...5006301,00.html

why is it always commo wankers or young ppl that think they have to hamer through traffic every where to show how fast there shit box can be that causes the whole car seen to be called hoons.. most people with fast/modified cars cruise them when there out so we dont atract the attention of the cops but were fighting a loosing battle with idiots.. the cops are just gonna have to get harder on these so called hoons just to stop the public outcry.. they cant have ppl saying there doin nothing about it....

lol its amazing! underground car racing gangs!! wow is like organised crime! its like red faction! we should all hide in our houses where its safe...

sorry but the start of that media was abit rediculous.... way to general and it makes good safe(when used correctly) performance mods sound like demon spawn.. diddnt know on a regular basis up to 200 cars would meet up for organised racing and burnouts... ITS FAST AND FURIOUS LOCAL STYLE!

althought there were some bits of truth and some well stated comments its amazing how words can make anyone with a nice car look like a hoon to the general public

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
