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

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
