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

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
