i know this is mainly a skyline forum so ill be brief. im in the US so we didnt ever get those lovely silvia's or skyline's and i was just wondering if you guys know the specs on the s13 redtop and blacktop stock? when i look on the net all i get is different guesses and some motor dyno's. since they were sold over there, could you guys let me know what they had off the lot? asking redtop and blacktop because i heard blacktop came with a little more but ive also seen that they had the same horsepower. thanks for any help.

lol someone already suggested that.

i wasnt planning on going vvt. dont feel like messing with s14. there are 2 s13 det's tho. redtop and blacktop. just making sure no one is confusing blacktop s13 with the vvt s14. getting the blacktop is just as easy as getting the redtop for me and the cost is just a tad more. the blacktop is newer (doesn't mean ill get a better motor i know) but the main question was just whether or not they added a bit of power when they changed over to s13 blacktop from redtop or if they just had a different valve cover.

the s13 blacktop and redtop are the exactly the same engine . one is red . one is black

as you stated the s13 blacktop comes in around late 93 so they are newer engines but be weary as often they are red tops painted black to ask for slightly more money

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
