Hey everyone i have just found a really sweet r32 to buy but i really the 200sx. Can anyone give me any insight as to which is the better of the two. Email. Dantheladysman81@hotmail.com cheers

well if you already own it, I mean that's what i can tell since you put it up on your info on the left hand side with your description and since you are in the skyline forum and since I really like skylines i'd say go for the skyline, but why are you even making up this thread you already own it, right? :D

I would say the Skyline for sure. Skylines will kill almost everything else Nissan has except the 300ZX or 350Z then its too close

Drive the two and then make up your mind. If it was a GT-R then there wouldn't be a doubt but in this case, without driving the two individual cars, I'd be more interested in the 200sx especially if its a S14.

oh... now you erase it huh, :o, well i'm sorry if i came out to strong or pushy i apologize for that but you did have it in your description , but hey it's an honest mistake. :)
Dave

now i own it

I see that, congratulation's you just got yourself A SKYLINE!!!:D
-Dave
not to be sarcastic or anything but you shoud be proud for owning such a beutiful car, and i'm sure you are.

i am VERY proud man thankyou!!! :D

:p :p :p :p :p
I know the feeling trust me, I may not own a skyline right now but with previous car's I have got that type of glorious satisfaction, hope you get it as well.:D
-Dave

how can anyone ever get sick of such a wonderful car??

I would have got a 200sx (I'm guessing S14) because they look better than an R32 skyline and handle better.
SR20DET would prob make it faster than the GTS-T too.

easy, you just get bored of the car because it might not be as challenging as before, sadly it happen's to some people.:(

I think the s14 does look's sleeker and sexier but yet again some people don't care about look's..but that's very few people:D , I mean who does not like a nice looking car but when it's a skyline it's all about raw horsepower I guess.
-Dave

Aus S14 with SR20DET- 150kw and lighter than skyline. Easily upgradeable to 200RWKW with stock turbo etc etc. I think thats enuff power.

rb20 can handle more power than an sr20 its true ask anyone i would buy a skyline

it is true ask anyone

sorry for hassling you but rb20s rule

but the skyline weighs more than the S14.

true but it can handle more power out put at less revs

it can hndle more power throughout the whole rpm range.:D
-Dave

That post doesnt even make sense. "It can handle more power thru the entire rev range" What the fuck does that mean???

Don't under estimate the SR20DET. That alloy block is a whole lot stronger than you think it is. As for which can handle more power, it would be wash. The both are capable of good power. Trust in Japan has squeezed just over 700hp out of an SR20DET block. I don't know of anyone pushing those numbers out of the RB20 as most will use the RB25, RB26 or RB30 block instead.

The SR will deliver much better torque and power numbers at the lower revs evenly modified. The RB relies on huge rev's to produce power and will out rev the SR given the same mods.

200rkw out of a factory turbo on an SR? Maybe on certain dynos but from the dyno that I got to about 185 is max on that turbo. Also the factory injectors won't support it nor will the factory intercooler. I've seen s13's, S14's and S15 pretty well modified to break the 200rwkw range. I've yet to see a standard turbo'ed one reach that.

Not withstanding I love the Skyline. Hell I've owned 3 different models in the R32 range, I just know for fact the SR20DET is one bloody strong motor for what it is.

Yeah, I got told 185rwkw with standard injectors, but my friend just got 202rwkw with standard injectors. Of course he has a computer and exhaust and intercooler and pressure regulator etc etc.

I was talking about the sr20, I forgot to add it in there, my bad.
-Dave:cool:

As I said on different dyno's. My GTR produces higher numbers on a hub dyno than a rolling road. About 37kw higher in fact.

It was a dyno dynamics dyno, not a dynojet or anything, so with a dynojet it would have been more.

what's with all these different term's for a dyno dude.:D
-Dave
i've been to the dyno many times so there is no need to explain, this thread is boring no more posting in here....and techniically we got off the subject already but i still would like to hear about the dyno's though.

im not saying the sr20 is crap NOT AT ALL here in australia SR20 motors are very common what i am saying is that over here people are ripping sr20s out of 180sx's (that have been fitted with SR20 motors) for the RB20 i have heard soooo much about how they are so much strongerthan the SR20 mind u i loveeeee 200sx's so there you go

different dynos have different "characteristics" and the chances of 2 different types (or even brands) of dynos giving the same power figures are very slim.

that is why when doing work on the car to best judge power gains / loss it is recommended to use the same dyno

Here here. I would take the S14 over the R32 GTSt because of the SR20. As Vince mentioned, they can get over 700hp out of one, and that's using Trust bits. Imagine what a real tuning house would do???

But then again, an SR20DET in an R32 GTSt............. that would be very nice.

A couple of ppl, JMS and a few others, not that many. JMS put a RB20 in because the original engine (and most of the car) was fucked.

fair enough
