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.....

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
