S13 with a RB25DETT (yup..although its not really 2.5 anymore).. 2x HKS 2530's.. 500hp at the wheels apparently. Anyway, I found it interesting.

Could be one of Australia's quickest s13? It ran an 11.4 before the engine was rebuilt as it is now.. scary

love reading the sr vs rb threads on other forums.

such as this (middle of 1st page onwards):

http://www.pandablue.com/nissansilvia/foru...?TID=13660&PN=1

in the end it all comes down to bias.

with sr owners claiming sr's to be better and rb owners claiming rbs to be better. same thing happens on supra forums with 2jz vs rb26. blah blah blah.

but very impressive sil's popping up. and its interesting that the rb20det engine weighs around the same as a ca18de...

S13's are good bang for buck... when modifying. Skylines's are solid foundations to build a beast on.

So it comes down to what you can afford and what your modification curve wants to look like, small investment, quick huge return (S13), or huge investment steady gradual return (R32/33/34).

RB26 in an S13 is just cheating coz that's taking the best of both worlds :D

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
