I just got bored today and signed on randomly, my s13 is sitting on the driveway with a blown CA18. And another CA18 is in front of it but I'm not bored enough to swap it.
Which one of you old people is coming to Torrance to do an engine swap? Free beer.

The displacement is not the issue. It's the weak ass internals and head gaskets. These are engines built for Altimas, Nissan never intended to have them see boost. It's a bean counters dream. Strong factory guts is what makes legendary engines like the 4G63, 2JZ and LS-family. |

I was never very active on Zilvia as I was on other local/240 boards, but it was always a great resource for tech information. Glad to see some of the OGs are still around.
Whatever happened to the rep system? No chance of that ever making a comeback?

Here's another super old thing
Also -I believe his sn was something like kidzeldadapimp. -Also, there was Coolero, and *dun dun dunnnn* Nitekids -Falken Brandon with the Silvermoss S14 -Alex Chang/Chan (eh?) with his white S13 -When drifting at the balcony (willow springs) first started and was cool, before the expansion of the track -Also when Drifting Pretty was ultra popular and probably 90% of all the posters here from SoCal were also posters on their forum. -Also FN01R-C wheels, iirc one of the first cheapest cast wheels with good offset that almost everyone had a set of at one point -When Horse Thief Mile was first built and you had to be of a certain skill level before being allowed there -When Mr. Mephistopheles spotted me at one of the earlier Drift Days lol -Jspec.com and Sam being super popular for importing cool stuff -Kei importing stuff from Yahoo Auctions Japan into SoCal and ppl having to wait months upon months and having to deal with "scandals" or whatever -pink godzira before they painted their cars silver in danny's garage -Land Ho -Knight Stalkers -When cars with Drift Alliance stickers first started getting noticed -The Wheel Supply being one of the premier spots for used tires and hanging out with other drift pplz before attending a Drift Day -Ken Gushi trying to qualify for D1GP in USA with a champaign s13 coupe before he went pro -When G Dimension was a popular shop -When Signal Auto was a popular shop -Chris Forsburg competing in a 350Z with SR in it because people didn't know how to tune VQ yet -When people used to post cruises / runs and it was cool I don't remember the exact "eras" of those things though, lol. Probably something like 2001-2003 Biased to SoCal i know... and I know it's not all forum related; some random history stuff nonetheless.

It's pretty much a redesign with Turbocharing in mind. Plus honestly DE VQ's were very sturdy engines in NA form the just were not built for turbocharging. I have done the research years ago. Oh and just for the KA naysayers . Fuck the KA is actually not that weak internally it came with piston oil squirters stock. Something you only see usually on a turbo engine like the SR. Also the head on the DE happens to flow quite well. I should also add that all stock headgasket are weak and fact is with a good headgasket and proper fuel tune KA's can hold up well to Turbocharging. Oh no blasphemy he is dispelling common myths about KA's like they were truck engines when actually they came out in Cars before Nissan ever stuck them in a truck. Ya if we are going to go old school lets get real up in here with once again dispelling old school myths that were dispelled long ago by the likes of T.Y. and Robthe Chef who ran Turbo KA's or how about our own Sil13sx aka Jon H who autocrosses a Turbo KA and has for years! how's that for throwing it down old school! lol

I wasted soooooo much time browsing that website.
Besides the OT section I still constantly browse the cars for sale section. There's some good deals out there.

Oh and good one on the Stang. I seriously so want to like the new 2015-2016 Mustang but damn Ford that fucking tall hood front end just throws it off great headlight,girl design but damn just to tall . The rest of the car looks great. Kinda like what GM managed to with the rear of newest Vette. Come on Detriot so close yet so classic fumble. I remember Raretrick hehehehehe.

Seeing a drift event where all the cars appear decently-kept and near-stock-looking is so much cooler than the vehicular atrocities seen at events now. Years ago I would think this was lame because all drift cars are supposed to be low with cool wheels and aero, and while I do still enjoy cool-looking cars, today I would take the stock body with lowering springs look over 99% of modded S-chassis that have aftermarket parts thoughtlessly added to them just for the sake of having aftermarket parts.

I know the HR is stout in comparison to the DE's, but I'm still not impressed by their output under boost. But I dunno... Comparing it to the much smaller and vastly more efficient F20C is probably warping my perspective. 500hp (HR) isn't bad at all really. But when I think that that is the limit of a modern 3.5L... Meh.

The HISTORY OF ZILVIA/ Geopolitical Analysis of Silvia culture
Quote:
Once again, that is not "the limit". That is the limit of the stock rods and pistons. As DrifFreaq said, the heads flow amazingly and the engine is stupid light. It's not like they bust rockers, drop IMS bearings, suffer from porosity, core shifts or split blocks. F20C blows in comparison to the K24. Yes, a few guys made 500hp on a F20C, many more have popped them at far less too. Your also comparing a Mini-Van engine to a highly developed and specialized performance engine from one of the greatest engine makers of all time. One of the reasons the old 90's turbo engine are so well built was because of the computer technology back then. Manufactures relied on simple fuel tuning and primitive reliability calculating software. It's much easier today to determine minimal strength requirements in order to reduce cost and weight. You no longer need massive rods, iron blocks and all that other crap. Manufacturers are plenty capable of over buildings engines when they want, just look at the LS, VR and Hemis. The new Ford 5.0 is actually a modernized 4.6. Similar crank, same fucking rods. Ford pulled an ass ton of weight out of it, made a lighter block that is just as strong as the once grossly expensive Teksid (aka Ferrari) block and used actual rods this time instead of chicken bones. End result, 4.6 2v/4v explodes at 400hp. 5.0's have seen 600-650hp. Rods once again being the limiter. The old FSB 302 would split in half at 400hp. I've also see piles of 2Js with spun bearings at 500hp. For every max power champ their is likely a dozen guys with popped motors. |

Nah bruh it wasn't, although in a way maybe it sorta was what I had wanted. I never went to high school (been in college since 14), so maybe deep down, I wanted to know what it felt like to write a shitty history report I dunno.
You don't need to defend me, I had no business making this, I don't know why I did. I had an hour to waste I guess. It is cool to see all of the old guard though, as everyone has said. you should be happy I gave you guys a place to congregate other than the untouchable upper caste that is premium membership
