hey all,

just wondering which out of the two people think is better?? i already have an r32 gts-4 but thinking about selling it and buying a silvia project car and do it up into a strawberry faced silvia. but im not sure whether to do it or just hold on to the skyline?? what do u guys think. anyone with personal experience of owning either of the cars and good and bad points they have?? or just based on looks and performance.

id say the s13....just coz im not a fan of the gts4's, if it were a gtst however...i still like silvias though. but i could never own one, im not a fan of the sr20...the power delivery is like an on/off switch...i like the smoothness of the line.

depends what you like.

s13 silvia with strawberry face is gonna be way to common in the very near future

not as common as r32's

r34 fronts (bee-r kits) are bloody expensive, like i think around $10-11k for full (front & rear) bee-r kit

http://www.garage-13.com/ quotes price for R34 front end conversion at from $5,300 (which i think doesn't include R34 headlights from memory, you'll have to check with the website).

strawberrys (at same site) are ~ $2,750-2990 with swap over (installed but only in melbourne)

personally I prefer r32's, they just feel like a lot better built car. s13 interior looks cheap and tacky. SR20DET is heaps better at lower RPM but not as revvy as RB20DET.

having said that, i'd probably go the S13 over a gts-4 simply coz of RWD factor... although u can just pop a fuse on the atessa.

Just pop a switch in series with the fuse and have on demand RWD/4WD..

You dont have to go full Beer Kit either, there is the standard gtt converson for 4500 i think it was? Also from garage 13. Personly i tihnk the choice of RWD and 4WD comes down to personal driving preferences, if your into drift then id go the silvia. If you like striaght out acceleration/speed (as i do) then skyline is better option.

Also as someone mentioned above, the skyline build quality is much better. The egine smoother. etc etc.

Maybe

Strawberry silvia/upgraded seats(silvia cloth is like a door mat)/ rb20/25 conversion.....

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
