R33 v's 180sx, what to get ?


Recommended Posts

Guest Chillgoon

It seems to be so hard to make decision between getting an r33 skyline or a 180sx. They both seem to be able to go very hard.

180's seem to be becoming very popular

I read the forums and alot of people are selling their skylines to get a 180sx, i am not sure why ?

Any suggestions anyone?

Get the skyline

:D

AM NOT!

diabolik1 - delete your sent items.

chillgoon,

i LOOOVED my skyline so much, but insurance was a problem as i am saving for a house. the 180 is completely different to drive. the 180 responds well to less mods (ie would take a LOT less to make a 180 an 11 second car than an R33 gtst). Cabin space is muchly reduced in the 180 as is interior quality - its a lot more plastic than the skylines interior... but, for a fair bit less, its still a VERY good car.

and yes - thats my goal - 11 seconds.

Pranks got it about right,,,,Insurance,,,Insurance.....Seems to me most people buying Skylines have incorporated their 1st years Insurance into the car loan,,,then get a rude shock when renewal time comes around.

Hows the house hunting going Prank,,,see your already modding the little baby,,,,naughty boy........

thanks guys. All the response has been great.

I am finishing uni this year and have a job lined up so i want to treat myself and get a nice car :D

u get good looking ones and bad looking ones in both 180sx and r33. I'm just going to wait till the right one comes along :(

once again thanks guys, you are all great.

ps when i do finally get my car (hopefully november) i'll have to come on a cruise!

Hey Chillgoon,,,,,My basically stock car could be up for grabs about then,,,,,looking at upgrading,,,,,Mine IS the Right One.....Nice White series 2 with all the cool stuff,,,,Pranks style front bar with extra factory lip spoiler and a whole heap more.....

Prank,,,,a cruise that doesn't included the Northern beaches would see us there.....

R34 time?

sorry ndr have to agree with MIC here, white is not really my colour, but then again at the right price who knows ...

MIC you know you will love it if i get a skyline too..

actually guys i have been thinking about slaz's 180sx that he has for sale. Seems impressive

We have fitted 5 180sx/s13 cars with rb20dets the rb25det s would be great the rb20det goes well i think both cars are fun to drive.

I was blown off by a 180sx sr20det while driving a twin turbo supra so they do go well.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
