R33 I reckon for looks, can't beat the Skyline tail lights.

Although, 180sx look good as a package, more sleak.

In terms of performance, i think standard, R33 would be slightly better, but a 180sx has better dollar for dollar modification potential.

As everyone has summed up, both are great cars, really comes down to personal preference.

Good to see ppl are giving real opinions instead of "get the line mate" that ud expect.

If i was to ask the same comparison but instead of 33 GTS-T say 32 GTR would it b fair to say that it would b a unanimous decision on the GTR? (myself owning a 180 atm going 2 a GTR)

BTW...to the topic starter, who did u get ur loan with?

What about buying an excell and spending your left over cash on a big subwoofer, getting the engine bay chromed and a couple of GTR badges... and some full sick chrome wheels... and a custom license plate... ...bad joke hey...

180sx/skyline both excellent cars... I think you'd be happy with either. Just get whatever comes up first at the right price.

Also, I am unaware of any significant differences in "service" costs for skyline/180's and any other imports for that matter. I pay the same to get my car serviced as my old man pays for his old 4cyl pulsar.

In terms of performance, i think standard, R33 would be slightly better, but a 180sx has better dollar for dollar modification potential.

You think, and you are wrong. :mad: The 180sx in terms of performance, is quicker. And yep, dollar for dollar mods it is also better.

180sx/Silvias are for boys.. Skylines are for real men

Can the thread starter see any appeal in smoking every r33/v8/wrx etc you see at the lights with attitudes like this? It is what I loved about my s13 :D

Buy a FMIC, 3" straight through, boost controller, then show them who the real men are :uh-huh:

See if you can find a sr20det manual silvia instead. It's exactly the same as a 180sx. dewing it, debadge it and drop it.. then you'll have even more people thinking they are in a faster car than you. So much fun.

Yeah, Silvias are great. Too bad they're fugly ;)

Particularly when your used to only seeing the back of them! :Pimp2:

:innocent:

I think that the silvias, 180sx's and r33s all look fugly in stock standard form.. thats why people modify them right?

Well a 180 needs standard skirts and some clear indicators to look good, doesnt cost to much.

A silvia needs alot of work while the Skyline can get away wit a type M kit on it which is fairly cheap... (both r32/33s). R33 series 2s look good in stock form aswell as nearly all R34s.

I thought people modified because of fast n furious?

I know the only reason I get Harry's to order overnight parts from Japan for my piston engine is because Dom uses them on his rotary.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
