Well the general idea was to show which car is Hotter specifically with these two cars..

Well I clicked on S14a on the survey coz in general I like them more, but I think of those two specifically I like the R33 more, so subract one vote from S14a and add one vote for R33.

its quite amusing. this is also on the ns.com forum and it is biased towards the silvia. and on here it is towards the R33. funny that....................

Yeah, strange that a Skyline forum members would like a Skyline, where as a Silvia forum member would like a Silvia! That is just bizzare!!! Who'd of thunk it?!?!?!?!?! :lol:

They're both ugly.

EDIT: Well, not so much "ugly" as "bland". I frequently mistake the R33 for a Magna, and everything but the nose of the S14 is so ho-hum that you could use it to cure insomnia.

Edited by scathing

That R33 looks very average to me, the S14a shits all over it.

Terrible offset on those R33 rims, look how much they sit in the gaurds. Stock rims would almost look better. Needs a set of spacers on their badly...

Id say the Blue R33... since i bought it off you two weeks ago lol. Cheers for blacking out the plates. Cars running great, found a large allen key stuck underneath the bonnet hinge for some reason though.

I think S14s look too much like family cars

hey man, can i ask where you're from?

i saw a S2 R33 the other day in my area in that exact color, but didnt remember seeing a CF bonnet....

Nah mate im in Newcastle, up from Sydney. Mines a series one though

I got confused with the R33 with a magna when i first got into skylines, and yes the R33 looks very boring, but damn, i would rather have a boring looking car than a fulgy looking car. however the angry eyes is the only thing the 200's got going looks wise.

R33 rear + S14 front = :(

s14 a

ive had 2 silvias (s13 and s15) and 2 skylines (r33 and 34)

id rate the 14 over the 33 , but not the 34

its not imported for cheaper insurance and parts , sr20 is the most popular engine in terms of performance parts , its light and easy to extract power and speed .

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
