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

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
