That's because everyone likes different cars and the feel of different cars... there are heps of cars that are good for drift man but it comes down to what the individual likes to drive and can drift better than anything else... that's why one person likes the 180 but another likes the S13...

Just my 2c.

Cheers,

Dave.

Erm, guys....

180SX = RPS13

Silvia = S13

They are the same chassis, clothed in different panels. Suspension, mechanicals, brakes, and some interior parts are IDENTICAL. One is equally as good as the other. Apart from some minor details, stock they should handle basically the same, and they make the same power.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

good point but i was just saying that it's another one of those personal preference issues... wasn't there something with the 180SX that changed it (can't remember what it was but HICAS comes to mind-that can't be it though... ne suggestions?)>>>???

let me change my question a bit.... if u were after a drift machine... what car would u go for based on control looks and power

HR31 GTS-R with a 2.4 bottom end, twin plate, Tein or JIC coilovers, a 2 way mechanical LSD, R33 brembos, fixed back recaro seat, and 16" RS watanabe rims.

"Hachi Roku" means: AE"86" Carolla Levin or Sprinter Trueno... theoretically, it could mean the whole line up of Carollas in that range, but all of them were quite dull compared to the Trueno/Levin.... so thats what people are referring to when they say "Hachi Roku".

Going by the abundance of S15s in the D1 Championship, I'd say they are the current fav drifter in Japan... just ask Uchii who is the D1 driver for DRFT who lives around the corner from me.

a 180sx handles different in the fact that the rear is heavier due to the glass hatch so the weight is more 50 50. Some say this makes it better for drifting. I personally like my rb powered s13 as the front is heavier and the rear is easier to keep out with the front still keeping grip. i've read in a few mags that they say the s14 is better for drifting and the s13 (being silvia and 180) suffers a bit of understeer.

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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.
