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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
