i went through the same dilema, either a series 3 type x 180sx or a r33 series 2, i had previously owned an r33 and bought another one. I did not like the way the 180sx drove, and how the interior was cheap and flimsy and the chassis did not feel as stiff as the r33.

Here is my opinion because just like you, i love both. I was supposed to get type x 180 but in the end got r33 s2.

180sx:

Goods:

-Light car

-good on fuel

-easy to do up

-sexy pop up lights

-nice shape

-plenty of parts for it

-4 cylinder

Bads:

-Starting to show its age (shape and interior)

-interior is very basic and average

R33

Goods:

-Looks bulkier, newer as compare to 180sx

-Interior is 10x better

-6 cylinder

-sounds good!, you can hear it spooling etc

-bit more roomier

Bads:

-fueeel 11-12L/100km (not that bad tho!)

-lots of r33s around

At the end of the day, tough choice. I chose r33 but every now n than my mind goes wondering, even tho i would never let go of my skyline.

you do realise this is a thread from 2005........

but i have owned both and they are different cars. they are both about as fast as each other but totally different in how they deliver the power. 180 feels more sporty and power hits a bit harder. r33 has much more low down power so doesn't feel as fast as the power is there from the moment you open the throttle. the ride of the 33 is a bit smoother too. oh the the rb25 sounds better

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By 25debt · Posted

      bumping this post as im still having dramas, my fuel pick up is sitting on the bottom of the tank, my pump gets a constant 13 volts through a relay, my fuel pressure holds consistently without fluttering or dropping, yet as soon as im near half a tank of fuel my car starts fuel starving and leaning out, it cant be due to g force as it never pulls hard enough before it starts breaking up, any help would be much appreciated

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
