Hey guys, My mate just came over and showed me his new airfilter on his S2000. He also told me he had a drag with a 350Z and whooped his ass.

Now my car comes in about a month and i was hoping that the Skyline would be faster than his S2000.

Mine has Full exhaust with HKS Airpod. I may install a BC of somesort. I also have big rears (235s) and fully adjustable suspension. He has just an airpod.

So what do u guys think? Is he BSin on the 350z or is the S2000 a really fast car.

Thanks:)

Well there was a thread a while back about cars that you've 0wn3d at the traffic lights and it not like Skyline owners do not partake in such activities.

It does 6.2 in stock form. You can be sure there are many many many Skylines here that'll do 5 seconds without much problem. So take them down if they are worthy contenders. What's the harm? It's not like the cops are likely to bust you.

youre all quick to bag the S2000, but have any of you driven one? theyre pretty quick. they may not have the brute power of a R33 but as a car theyre very nice to drive, quick through the corners and have a fair bit of power for such a light car. dont underestimate them

Who's talking about M3s? M3s are luxury coupes & cost twice as

much as Honda S2000s. I have owned an R33 GTSt & currently

own an S2000.While the Honda is a very well balanced car & has

excellent top end power(between 8 & 9000rpm) there is no way it

will beat an R33.Honda quotes 14.9 - 15.1 for the 1/4 mile.Most average R33 GTSts should do low 14s to mid 13s.The mid range torque of the 2.5L turbo would walk away from a n/a 2L no matter

how much top end it's got.

The Honda has style, class, & is beautiful to drive.I really enjoy driving it with the top down & if I happen to pull up next to a Skyline I'll enjoy watching him dissappear & continue my crusin.

(Then if I run into him later in my R34 GTR it will be a different story)Skylines Rock.

s2000 has 174kW from memory. Lot less torque of course which the 33 has tons of which is where it gets all it's get up and go from.

The s2000 is all about balance but I'm sure if you can afford the $80,000+ asking price of a s2000, a true Skyline fan would be after a 33 or 34 GT-R.

Actually The S2000 has 176kw which is the highest specific output (88kw per litre) of any n/a 2 litre in the world.

The Honda only weighs 1270 kg - so 'on paper' you would expect it to be quicker than a 184kw 1450 kg Skyline.

But 'quoted power figures' relate to top end power outputs.In the real world it is mid range torque that accelerates the car.From a rolling start at say 100kmhr the Honda would probably stay with

the heavier Nissan, but off the mark - see ya atmo.Turbos are king.The S2000 would leave the R33 behind on really tight bends.

It has a true 50/50 weight distribution & is very well balanced.Providing the driver keeps it in the right gear & up in VTEC the whole time the R33 would struggle to keep up.But again - when the road opens up a bit, turbo power hunts it down.

I am not talking about GTRs here.The Honda would only have an advantage over a GTR in very tight corners like basket range/lenswood.Start heading up the gorge or somewhere like that & the stovetop tailights would be out of sight very quickly.

I have spent many hours comparing these cars & they both have a very different flavour.

shoulda seen this R33 that ripped me apart the other week.. mine is no slowpoke, but he left me several lengths in front in a matter of 2 seconds... that was seriously quick! and it wasn't a GTR either.

Some little guy in a new cooper S thought he would have a go as well, now that was just funnnnny..

p.s. sau does not endorse racing fast off the line.. it could get you in trouble. This has been a bullshit fast community message from the dumb ass party, canbeerra

It's like comparing chalk and cheese. S2000's r cruisers rather than bruisers, But they do have a fair amount of power when your right foot becomes pedal heavy. Both cars have their points but in a full on drag a lightly modded R33 has the better torque and acceleration to outpace an S2000 - You need some serious mods on the Honda to compete. Munro laid down the stats and discussed it all correctly about the VTEC's prowess and the S2000's abilities.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
