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.

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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      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
