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.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
