Damn, some of those 17 year old piss you off don`t they? Dribbling all this unwaranted, imaginary crap.

But anyways, I`d get the R32 GTS-T, of course they`re a better car all round, Nissan intended it that way, and I just personally like the R32.

As for drifting though, if thats your main focus, go for the S13. 7 out of 10 drifters in Japan started out in them, so I guess that speaks for itself.

Having a sportscar isn't all about speed, its also about how it feels to drive, how cruisey it is, how it looks, the interior (which you sit in everyday), etc. 6cylinders are always a bit more refined that a 4, probably quieter, and still produce good power.

Its all relative though isn't it? You're still going to have a car that is fast by pretty much most cars out there.

While a nicely worked s13 will most likely be faster, Skylines are something different. There is reason the Skyline comes above the Silvias in the market.

I have owned both silvia SR20DET fairly modded...

sold it 2 weeks ago and bought a R32 the same day...

Do I regret it....... Hell no!

Fair enough my skyline is alot more medded than my Silvia but I know it would kick my silvias arse.....

and yes, I don't know what I was thinking when i bought my Silvia, they are a much cheaper build quality when compared to the skyline.

if you want the car as a drift weapon, get the Silvia.

reasons..

cheaper

lighter

4 cyliners means less on maintenance and upgrade costs.

eg - 4 spark plugs, 4 pistons

SR20DET has more after market support compared to an RB20DET.

panels are cheaper for silvia's too.

you said for drifting and the Silvia is a better car to drift then the skyline.

But if you are also considering this car as your everyday car, then skyline wins hands down.

S13 silvia is ugly to me (the 180sx is ok but the silvia is ugly)

The R32 skyline shape is the best/most agressive skyline to be built.

The interior is no competition.. just take a look at the 2.

the skyline is just a more solid build compared to the silvia.

stock v stock and same mods on both cars, the silvia will always be quicker.

but I don't think that it is by enough for me to consider a downgrade.

Brakes... there is no comparison there either..

skyline gets 4 pots on the front and 2 on the rear..

silvias get 2 front and 1 rear.

with pissy little discs.

...

pure drift car = silvia

drift/daily use = skyline.

that's my 2 cents.

Cefiro is the best of both worlds! S13 suspension (near enough) with rb power.

And Dumheds NA silvia was pretty bloody quick for some reason(until he got t boned).

Stock for stock I'd say s13 is quicker mainly because it's lighter. Modded the gap dissappers. For a daily driver I wouldn't have an s13 for anything. They've got no class!

I've found that a car with less power to weight that cannot light up is probably better than an overpowered car for launch and slow street drags. But put the same cars on a circuit and see what happens......100-200kph the 33 I've got is devastating to people from the 4cyl brigade, and even stock 33's will lope away through tight corners and roundabouts, but give me open straights and corners, like on a racetrack which it is set up for, and it is history. Anyway street dragging is juvenile and dangerous to life and pocket. Buy a fast car, join a club and go to the racetrack and start testing your commitment to speed. On the road you can pull out of it at a reasonable speed and say 'yeah, I won' but there are no concessions like that at speed events, only laptimes.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
