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!!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
