Ive Driven the S13 and the skylines (my own being a R33 Gts4). Call me biased or love struck but I reckon that ones the best, maybe not quite performance wise but its great being able to bring the back out but knowing when you aim to go round a corner the front will help pull you round. Also after recently having a freak snow going on I noticed an easy difference in handling skill between the AWD and my mates FWD

I have a S14 with a RB swap overall height is good now that I did the proper mods.But with a SR20.This cars are just way fast.I had massive issues due to the swap.

Went from little understeer to little oversteer.The over steer issues more due to brakes.and to much down force on the front due to the weight problem I had,Not to mention the sway bar and roll center problems.Just a front splitter and Installed a bias and now it corners way better.All I need now is a wing to get full results.

The S14 is basic S15 only the a bit stiffer then the s14.

Nothing a roll cage and spacers won't make up for it.

The S13 hatch is one stiff baby.I used to love them as well as the R32s

S13 got my vote purely because I have driven a heavily modified one a the track and many lightly modded.

Ive driven every other car mentioned but I havent been able to really 'drive' most of them.

As far as the s chassis goes I'd have to say the s13 silvia is winning by a bees dick compared to the rest of them. Apparently 180sx are slightly heavier than s13 silvias FYI...

R32 is the best of all.

Can shave it down into the 2700 lbs and they are a monster on track.But I don't like awd cars.Is just not as fun as a rwd.I run yokohama advans with 60 treadware.I hate the look of my s14. But I didn't build her for looks.

LOL about the comments regarding AU Falcon and Skyline having similar handling characteristics... even when modified for the track!

If you fixed up the chassis rigidity I think they would be a lot more similar than you might imagine!

Well being that the AU has a better suspension design than a Skyline (espesially the R32).....

go the s14. they are almost the same price as the old and beaten up s13's!!!!! plus they come with better chasis, 5 stud, better engine, plenty of aftermarket support, the list goes on.. did i mention they are CHEAP!!

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
