NA r33 vs NA silvia

[Baileylsd]

Hey guys, any of you know how a na r33 would go against a na silvia s13?

And please be truthful

[Demon Dave]

Depends on the model - R33 GTS (RB20E engine) or the R33 GTS25 (RB25DE). I'd imagine the silvia would be slightly quicker due to it's weight...

[nismoman18]

NA silvias with ca18 suck they are so slow man! My NA RB25de skyline keeps up with silvia k's (turbo)

[Nismodified]

If we are talking Ca equiped silvia's/180. then its no contest.

i storm right past the turbo model, and the non turbo wouldnt even be close. No top end IMO.

havnt had the chance to gauge my self against an Sr as yet.

[Driver]

I drove my friends CA18 non turbo

quite gutless

[Baileylsd]

Oh sorry i mean the sr20 model, the reason i ask is that i recently sold mine to buy a r33 gts-t, but i can't get insurance on it, and i was looking at getting a r33 gts instead.

Bloody insurance company

Just wondering if its worth it??

[nismoman18]

well silvia k's are sr20det's and yeah thats what i meant, i still beat them. NA sr20's are slow as. GTS are way better man, look good too

I have a R31 skyline with a RB30E NA, and that thing pisses on SR20DE manuals.. And i dont have much mods on it, just exhaust, pod, timing etc.. I know its a skyline forum, but i would go with the silvia if the car was going to be NA. Better power/weight, a bit sluggish as well, but not as sluggish as a 1500kg NA 2.5L

[Baileylsd]

i ain't gonna buy another silvia q

[NA_R33]

im not at all biased, my mait easily has one of the nicest looking silvia's ive every seen, it will out corner my car neday. but just doesnt have the feel of my car on the road. It is also the NA CA18DE and well lets just say its a joke.

[Baileylsd]

ok, sr s13 is like 88kw per ton

r33 gts with rb25de is about 110 kw per ton

so hopefully should be a bit faster then my old car

[rmahawaii]

Is S15 any faster?

[nismoman18]

s15 is quite a quick car, stock it does 0-100 in 6.9 so its not much faster than an NA skyline, however simple mods will see that time decreas to 5's

[rmahawaii]

wow...is the S15 equip with SB20DET engin?

[nismoman18]

yeah SR20det, we almost got one, wish we did cos they have stopped production here :S

[Baileylsd]

yeah s15's are awesome, they came out stock in japan @180kw

aus models came out at 156 i think, but a chip changes it to jap spec

[Pva_Glue]

ok cross my heart...

Cold morning...

@ 3 lane hwy...

@ light; goes Green

we took off

Silvia was faster at the take off about a 1/3 length...

then as soon as I hit 3k rpm and over in 2nd and I was pulling infront of him, just saw him pass my right hand view mirro...

there was two people in the car in skyline, there was only driver in silvia....

we both backed off at 4th gear 4000rpm...

*this was happen @ private road*

cheers

ya know u ask this question in a silvia forum u'll get a different answer. alot of what is said here is biased and thats no shit. being a fan of both silvias/skylines i think the sr20de is rather good and would go alright. as for people saying they piss over ca18det's in rb25de's well then i think someones pulling their chains. cause a good driver of a turbo ca is not slow thats for sure

[Baileylsd]

i know what u mean nugget, but as i've already owned a na sr s13, i wanted a change

[naiwiboo]

mm definately go na rb over na sr (105kW & 178Nm or 117kW for s14 sr20) or ca (100kW & 159Nm) (cough laugh)

power isnt the only figure to quote here guys, you gotta think torque aswell - the rb 25 shits all over either of the 4 cylinders just cos its got the extra 2 cylinders - 142kw and 231Nm of torque means it is not a slow car -sure not as fast as the turbo- u'll get a manual under 7 sec with mods - and whoever is quoting 1500kg for a 33 i think is a bit off - i'm sure mine doesnt weigh anything like that - otherwise i wouldnt be able to whoop vs commodores with a totally stock car (not nemore tho) which weigh in at 1430kg would i?

u also gotta consider longevity - the rb 6 is gonna rev for longer than a ca 4 and probably as long as an sr (before i get pm's telling me the sr is 'bulletproof') not too mention value holding - as soon as the 15yr '89 model silvias come over next year cya lata silvia values
