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.

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
