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 :D

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.

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

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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
