i just whatched the drift bible with the drift king as the instructor and he show off his skills in a lot of cars but he seems to not like the s13 and talks about its poor front wheel grip and even yells at you.. hes like s13 has poor front wheel grip porbably just LIKE YOURS! and point.. lol hes seems like a great guy though. just wondering if anyone else saw this and if it made the sad to see such a ledgend talk down on the s13...

He doesnt say it sucks, it just understeers more than the s14 stock.

Freeject

Thats just stupid - a simple tire change can dramatically increase the grip at the front wheels.

Yah they obviously havent drifted S13s AND S14s back to back. S14s are way better. S13s rock cause they are still cheap and im poor, but if I could have any S chassis in US it would be S14 w/ S14 SR and everything I have done to my S13. S14 is a MUCH stiffer chassis.

01-12-2004, 01:12 AM
Man now I wanna crash my S13 just from hearing that :wtc:


HAHA.....

lazyyy-.-
01-12-2004, 05:52 AM
i dunno what version of the drift bible u were watching. but all i remember him saying about the S13 is the understeer is more then the S14.

does it really matter what he thinks?

Yes, the s14 chassis is definitely stiffer than the s13, but at the same time you have to consider driver preferences as well. He may not like driving the s13 in general, who knows. Although, i have the dvd and i dont recall him bad mouthing the car, he just said the s13 understeers more than the s14 STOCK.

But regardless, its your car, who cares what others think.

i luve my s13 and i dont think ill ever go s14 but i was just asking to see if you guys saw the drift bible video and see what im saying. it makes the s13 sound like a poorly designed car, i think its just fin, its flaws can be fixed easily.

s14 is soooo much nicer. its far stiffer and feels great. i love it. i have drifted um..2 different s14s. its FUN! :) i like!

stock for stock, well i drove a near stock s14 but never drifted stock one so cant say
stock s13 drifting..scary haha

i want a s14 with alll the mods i have on my s13 and a nice s14 sr20det and some power mods..gawd, i'd love to have a drift car as such

all this talk about stock chassis stiffness is :ghey:

If your serious about performance handling, at minimum, a roll bar should be in your plans.

Stock stiffness of S14s makes me jealous.. Maybe i'll have to drive an S15 or two in japan to see how they compare to S14. I heard they're better than S14 to a good degree.

S13 with a cage, or S14 with a cage.. do you think one will be stiffer than the other? I don't.

For me it's a non-issue either way, so why not get the lighter of the two.

DoriftoSlut
01-12-2004, 10:18 AM
Yeah. My friends' S13 with most suspension arms replaced, a 7 point cage and 9/7 Apex coilovers was about as stiff as his new car: S14 with 9/7 (iirc) coilovers and that was it (when he first bought it).

Add onto that a rollcage and adjustable arms.... NICE. Im not knocking the S13 (well kinda) but I will give it props. I mean it was designed in the 80s. Early 80s. For it to be as good as it still is is great. But its not an S14. BTW I own an S13 and used to have S14. While I would prefer a modded S13 to a stock S14, I still think the S14 is a better car.

mm i dont know
you cant run the cage to mount in same places, wont that have an effect on stiffness (talking about in the rear, s14 w/ deck, s13 fastback being open)

im takling s13 hatch and s14....

Strictly speaking for me... the S14 is much more stable while drifting. Its longer wheel base and wider track.... NICE.

I definately agree that those are factors in the s14's favor. However, I do find it very hard to believe that an s13 with a properly built and triangulated 8-point cage is just on par (chassis stiffness wise) with an s14..

Mounting points for the cage aren't that different. You'll still be connecting the mian hoop to the strut towers in the rear. All the other points are the same too.

My only point here is that you can make up for any difference in chassis stiffness.. Look at ITS racing.. They race 240Z's with E36 bmw's competetively. And there are barely any differences in how stiff those cars are once they have full cages in them. Granted, these are RACE cages with NASCAR bars, and gussets and petty bars, etc, and they aren't advised to drive on the street, but it does go to an extreme to express a point.

Well if you wanted to run the cage to the trunk, couldn't you just run the tubes through the speaker holes on the rear deck? I've seen another car like that, can't remember if it was an S chassis though. That would kill your already limited trunk space, but if your running that many tubes, I guess it doesn't really matter in the first place(unless that's where you keep your two drifting spares).

interesting hmmm
i still like s14 more but i do understand more now :)


imo:

for mild tune nothing nuts daily driver...s14 all the way
for a full on track car...that's up to the driver. :)

Seeing as we are on the topic of cages, I was watching an option Vid, and they had a 7 with what it looked like was a full 9 point, but instead of stoping at the fire wall, it went thought the firewall and welded on to the strut tower, well not on top on the side, wouldent that help a crap load because it would connect the front more to the body, kinda like what fender braces do.

I need imput, cuz my next mod is a cage, so I need to see what im going to do

the s13 coupe sucks more than a s14, but a s13 fastback can outdo a s14..... haven't you guys notice that the RPs13 was rerelease after it should of ended when the s14 came out....and from what i know, the 500 or so sileighty that came out had drift specs suspension stock....this is just my opinion....

so stock for stock
s13 fastback is better then coupe chassis stiffness wise?

just want to make sure your opinion is CLEAR

and nissan didnt release the sil80s. KIDS HEART did. go to their website, they still have a page up for it

another newbie w/ "knowledge"


and what proof do you have on a thread about chassis stiffness that a fastback s13 can 'outdo' a s14??? what in your opinion proves this?

and if we listened to what keiichi said and what he beleives, then you are wrong hahahahaha
too funny
this thread is fun :)

Should I stop talking to you all at once? Or should I just slap you the next time I see you...? Such a hard decision.

On topic... Personally, I just think S14 looks better in drifting action than do S13's. And I am not saying that b/c I have a S14 and love it dearly...

back up your opinion with factual statements please..

what about the coupe sucks more then the s14?

what about the fastback can outdo an s14?

what drift spec suspension is that your refer to on the sil-80? from the factory?..:rolleyes:..what factory would that be?

That's cool. From what I remeber from the brochure it was basically a kouki 180SX with the S13 aero bumper, CA square headlights, and I'm pretty sure it had a fin type grill. It came with the SR20DET or DE. I wish I could find that brochure. Anywho I'm sure there are pictures of it floating around.

wasn't the coupe stiffer than the hatch? i mean, metal> glass, right?

Yeah, the coupe is supposedly stiffer than the hatch. Although, i dont know by how much or if its even noticeable. Somebody else will probably chime in and let you know for sure.

I dunno why this thread turned into a discussion of chassis stiffness. If you watch Drift Bible again, you'll notice Tsuchiya mentions the understeer will go away with suspension mods. This is because of low front end weight and poor factory alignment specs....

BTW, The s13 coupe is lighter and stiffer than the fastback and has a better weight balance for front grip because of the less rear end weight.

well, I have owned and attempted to drift both S14's and S13's in stock form. Just got the S13 but my initial impression is that its smoother and easier to drift than the S14 was when it was stock. My S13 is all stock right now, but its a dohc coupe base model with zero options, I was thinking this is probably one of the lightest 240's right? also my S14 had no rear swaybar and wider tires.

There is ONE that is better than this and I've only seen it once on another site that you happened to be registered on. It is my goal for my car to look like this ONE car. It was a URAS customer's car in japan. You probably know the one I'm talking about.

01-14-2004, 03:06 AM
Yeah i know the one. It is not nearly as pimptastic as the Sexy Knights car.

a. chrome Agel Minervas (amongst other wheels such as chrome Work VSXX and a whole bunch of other ones I cant identify off my head)

b. fucking stickers all over the damn thing. I dunno how he sees out the car.

c. crazy color that has rainbow sparkle.

d. Lower than anything... evar. The fucking sideskirts are all tore up along with the obvious (front bumper)

h. No wing. Onevias with no wing are so hot.

Yeah it may not be 90% of peoples' style, but i love it soooo much more than the Uras one. Plus the Sexy Style bodykits are like 10x nicer than Uras!!!

He was acting and talking like a duder, and when the MR2 rolled around I turned it off, I couldn't stand to watch him parade around telling me how to do everything, and exactly how I was going to do certain things wrong the first time, just like he did. Screw Tsuchiya, you drive your car super happy fun dorifto into a curb, no understeer for you!

Honestly though, as a beginner, you're not going to notice, "WTF, this is NOT as stiff as a newer S14, what gives?!?!?"
When you can notice, upgrade, now hush!

P.S. Onevias don't count in America, it's just called stock...
:eek: Just kidding, you call it whatever the hell you want, just like all those Silvias, 180SXs, and Civic Type Rs roaming the streets. Enjoy!

I think that's pretty sweet that he daily drives that but daily driven in japan is a lot different then here with there smoothe roads and great public transportation. I know the roads suck some places but in general, those fucking roads are heaven compare to here. I'm just not down with the color. I wish I could see a pic of it in the day. I bet it wouldn't look as good but I could be wrong. I'm more a fan of a deep red or the blue on the URAS one is pretty sweet as well. The blue URAS one would look great with some WORK VS-XX instead of the desmonds but it's still a personal favorite.

the SEXY KNIGHTS onevia is the best. URAS one is nice but meh..styling wise, SK wins

yO bout USDM 'onevia' as stock

yeah it is
but its chuuki

slap on a kouki bumper and its a lot nicer
why no one has done this? becuse most cant afford aftermarket bumper/oem kouki

i know dorifto has plans for one. i have one but i have fastback..i would have a kouki bumpa on coupe i fhad one.

anyways, kouki STYLE onevia is what is so nice. chuuki is ugly. no matter what its on.

Yeah, the sexy knights sexy style one is definitely nicer.

The URAS one, imo, would look way hotter with a more blingy set of wheels and no wing. :D

Do we have a bunch of nutswingers again? Come on. Compare the paint colors. Do you guys honestly dig that limish color? Dousan, do you have any pics of it in the day?

The wing on that onevia is the sickness. Flows perfectly with the front end. The cool thing is that the onevia looks great wingless as well. Yeah, I agree that the URAS one would look better with some pimped out WORK VS-XX or some crazy ass mesh but I love that body and paint.

Dousan, so when are you going to less us know the paint color you're getting? I hope you don't get the one I want but it's cool if you do.

01-14-2004, 02:22 PM
yes i do
its a greenish color, sorta sparkly

and nah dood, you wont have same color as me. haha trust me :) its quite.....hmm...well you'll see. hehe


and dont call me a nutswinger or my friends. we'ev always loved one vias and the sexy knights team cars. for looong time.

01-14-2004, 02:35 PM
yeah, it's not like a new revelation that the Sexy Knights' cars are the shit...

that blue is too common anyway...and wingless > winged

yes the "limish" color is nice and i DO like it..:D

wait till you see my car when it's done and painted...mmmm, it WILL be different...

Flybert
01-14-2004, 02:35 PM
Yeah, I know how you and you're homies dig the sexy knights cars. You post them up anytime you get the chance. No harm meant by the nutswinger comment.

As for kouki front on onevias, I really love that look. I would so sport one of those GP sports bumpers with some kind of flat sideskirt unlike the real kouki one. I don't think the kouki sideskirt would look good on a coupe and I'm not a big fan of it in general.

Is it going to be ready for shine st. foolio? 2 more weeks. Where you getting it painted at? I'm really looking forward to seeing it. I'll be sure to say hello at the meet. I haven't really met any of your friends you have to introduce them to me. I met Dave (Legacy) and he's a really cool guy. We live really close to each other and we went out for a drive and got some Boba the other day. It was pretty sweet. They said that is where they met you the fist time. Send me an email if you ever wanna join us.

well now its up in the air..because the shop we WERE going to is yaddayaddayadda.etc soooo see what happens. i can have it prepped and ready within a day and a 1/2.

also im waiting for my full rear bumper and sides to come in..so AIMING for next week. sometime..i HOPE

kouki sides look OK on a coupe but not great. its taste tehere, i dont like it. i think straight edge is best on all.

The URAS one does have nicer paint, but i dont like the styling...the wheels and wing that is. The wheels are WAY too plain for a kit that flashy and the wing just doesnt look right. I'd vote for the URAS one even if they left the wing, if they just used some nicer wheels. The sexy knights sexy style one, despite its odd color and abused front bumper, flows a lot better. Again this is just my opinion.

nah..the one that got smacked up is TOTALED...just waiting on insurance money...although they did let me keep the car..they said it is my responsibility to dispose of it because of the distance it is from their office or some yada yada yada BS...but it's cool with me cause it just means more money since i can part it out as the only damage was to the front of it...

i'm picking up another coupe though...hopefully within the next week or so...and yes, it will stay onevia this time...no more silvia front end...too expensive..too popular..

i may even be at Shine Street, or whatever it is, but without a car, just to hang out and check the rides...prolly roll in with Dirty D or Kooosher...i'll be sure to say hi though if i do..:)

hint at future color of my car (but with large "speed boat" gold flakes):

whats the differance between the kouki and zenki chasis'??????????:confused:

revat619
01-16-2004, 04:28 PM
iirc...

the zenki chassis has more "holes" in it = a more flexible chassis/less stiff

the kouk chassis has less "holes" in it = less flexible chassis/more stiff

Ricer240sx

s14 = too much money for luke, heh heh i dont really like the interior either..blah


hmmm then i really thought about it, the only other s14 i have driven with suspension upgrades didnt get me off in the corners like my baby :) :) :)

You all are forgetting the MOST important fact.

You can hone your skills much deeper in an S13 because you must be a BETTER DRIVER to compensate for the understeer and the backlash that is experienced in an S13 under extreme driving situations such as very fast drifting & downhill battles.

With experience, some of the chassis flex -can- work toward your advantage. You just must know it first nature.

Once you learn the car, the S13 can do what you ask it and the s14 becomes a walk in the park. If you really wanna hone your skills, drift an '81 2 door corolla with a 3TC and keep up with an S14 doing it.


BTW West, I love the new site look and higher speed loading.

01-18-2004, 11:52 AM
welcome back Bill :bigok:

i think its all a matter of personal opinion on which one you like better, but for what you pay, the S13 is a much better value.

2. the blue car looks better than the limeass one.
3. I can't drift anything.
