The factory quoted weight for the NA 2.5L is 1320kg from memory.

ditto

that's how mine's registered, whether it's the truth, well i haven't had it weighted but i have to take the skyline NA on this issue... i was in the process of buying a car just recently and i only bought the skyline coz it just felt faster and smoother on the road than the silvia's... (also the r33 just happens to be my favourite looking car(maybe slight bias here))

gatty: true, in this instance you where probably a way better driver than the guy in the auto ca. :D

hahaha sorry i'm joking.. :D

Of course it has a lot to do with the driver, how the car is tuned etc.

Some people also dont know much about their cars powerband, when the perfect time to change gears is, and others are just plain retarded.

I'm sure the NA r33 wins the looks competition hands down, theres some damn bastard ugly looking silvias out there.

Infact I know a guy who has an N/A r33 and has dressed it up as a GTR.. pulls the ladies for only 15 grand! bargain.

I tend to agree with the guys who say a turbo silvia will beat a NA skyline. But when you have N/A silvia vs N/A skyline there's not much in it.

Have a look here compare a few times and you just might change your mind.

we are comparing NON TURBO silvias and skylines!

both the silvias i drove are non turbo, i thought that was obvious since we were comparing n/a silvia and n/a skyline. the skyline beats the n/a silvia in every possible way except handling.

and whats this about me driving a kitted up n/a to make it look like a gtr? i don't have a single aftermarket panel or badge on my car so :D

im gonna go against the trend and say i reckon the silvia would win.

sr20 vs rb25de i reckon the sr20 would win. im talking s13 sr20 the later series s13

in non turbo form i reckon the sr20 would. its a 4cyclinder, it revs harder and its lighter than the r33 n/a

a turbo sr20 would beat a non turrbo rb25de, well it bloodly well should, the driver must be very average

N/A silvia is the worst car i ever had.

mates first gen integra(pop up light) beat me EASILY

hi Ace will beat it

even those real shit box race me, i found a hard time to win

i am regret to buy a N/A silvia but not a civic SI as my first car!

  • 5 months later...

i own r33 gts25 with pod filter and 3inch cat-back(too big? kicks ass on top end).

past drags:

ca18det 180 with exhaust and intercooler. 1st and 2nd gear was head to head, third gear i blew him away. and i dare swear on my family's grave. But i can blame it on the driver too.

s14 sr20det. same day i got my car i dragged with my friends 200sx. i got ahead but he caught up and stayed 1 car length ahead of me. i was a noob tho. didn't know i had to rev out my engine. never retried.

n15 pulsar SSS with extractors exhaust filter and suspension mods. i can say he killed me. hehe i will never underestimate that car again!!!!

in my opinion. gts25t's are crap. i dragged a few. some i beat and some i lose to. i dont know why but they don't impress me. i expected more of a turbo version of my car.

i had a NA silvia (auto) and now i have an NA skyline (manual) and my line EATS NA silvias. IT seriously no contest. Off them mark, they can probably hold you for abt 30 metres, then u'll pull away. Ive come up against heaps of Q's with exhausts, T-wings, Rims and rice stickers (wether or not there valid...???) from here to jamaica and they wont go me.

Theres a reason why a NA skyline costs 2-3 times more then a NA silvia....

hay i drive a r33de and i beat na silvia's all the time yes i have the normal mods pod, exhorst, extractors and they are my friends and they drive very well so thats what i have experenced so thats my 2 cents

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
