Silvia Club of NSW

Hey guys and girls,

As some of you may know im looking at buying an S14 in the near future and im curious as to what to look out for in them. What problems do i look out for etc etc. I tried searching but i fail at searchs so yeah.

Im also after some general info on them as well. What kinda fuel economy do they get with a fairly standard engine, exhaust and maybe intake. Basically stock. Are they a forgiving car to drive as well or snap sideways with little caution?

Any help is muchly appreciated guys .

Cheers

Ash

have a look around theres heaps of info to be found


feul ecconimy depends on how heavy your foot is

make sure one you buy ist cut and shut and the chasiss is straight most other things can be fixed/replaced


i find the s14 is more forgiving that a s13, the s13 is more snappy and the s14 more glides out.

if you muck around with the aliment and dont do it properly they become very twitchy (ie pull the camber out on the rear tyres but dont adjust the toe ect)

Cheers for the info Locky.

Ill keep looking around for sure but homework is a killer, year 12 sucks .

haha fair enough on the economy. What would be a rough average though. 350-400km to a tank in a largly stock car?

Ahh ok that interesting that you find the S13 is more snappy. Drove a mates S13 once Seemed nice and planted but i wasnt driving it hard, wasnt allowed .

You should get almost 10km/litre if you baby it (i.e. about 500km to a tank).
But the more throttle you use, the more fuel you'll use. And as you mod for more power and run more boost, you'll use even more fuel.


He was referring to how it drifts, which is something you chouldn't be too concerned with unless you're looking to build a dedicated drift car.

yeah more refering to how it gets sideways

if your only in year 12 you wont be able to drive one because of turbo restrictions

But babying a car gets boring .

I plan on taking the car to a few track days so this is kinda relevant.

Locky: I live in Adelaide, no gay restrictions over here . Signed up here because i couldnt find any other silvia based forum, plus you guys seem to know your shit haha.

i lose my licence for 3 months next week because i took my s14 round the block a few months before i got my full licence

Man thats got to suck. As if you got caught in such a small time frame. Oh well, more time to save for mods .

yeah but what can you do, espcially gay that i lose it the day i would have got my fulls and i lost my job


anyway to answer your first question they dont snap sideways unless your doing something stupid

Spewin'!!!!!! Did you try and reasonat all with the cop or was he/she errrrrr ruthless i guess?

lol hm something stupid like? Braking late into a corner and getting on the powaahhhhhhh earlyish? Or trying to re-inact (sp?) tokoyo drift by skidding through a group of people?

lol i got pumped, even got redstickered, which is a hardcore defect where you have to tow the car home

something stupid like hitting full boost round a sharp corner or boosting in the wt

haha did u piss the cop off? Im so glad we dont have any stupid levels of defecting here, well none that im aware of.

Boosting in the wet sounds kinda fun .

Except when you wrap yourself around a pole.
