dude, it is a NA auto 4 door. slowest skyline combination possible. Sp23's are pretty quick little cars for a 4 cylinder. the outcome is probably correct.

It seems the N/a seden R34 Auto have lack of power....have anyone out there got the same problem???

I got killed by a Auto Mazda 3 sp23 another day.

Hmmmm.. he's right... You would be doing better if it was the coupe and manul... your 4 door ( weight) and auto ( tricky to use revs to your advantage ) is at a considerable disadvantage.. You can still make it look nice though :D

My r33 GTS is pretty fun to drive around in, ( 2 dr manual )Maybe consider selling your auto and get a manual?

The R34 N/A 4 door is just a simple commuter car (pretty much a commodore of japan)... I wouldn't be expecting blistering performance out of it. The mazda's got better power to wieght than your car.

arnt mazda Sp models all turbo charged i read the mazda 6sp comes 4Wd and 190KW not sure bout the mazda 3 though

no

there are plans for a 2.3L turbo moror (160 kw from memory). MPS 6 (awd), and hopefully, MPS3 (fwd). If they go into production, the MPS3 takes about 4 seconds to go from zero to speeding (100).

The SP23 is an older Mazda3 with extractors and a few other tidbits from the factory. Better grip, too, which was impressive for a passenger few to begin with.

Enjoy the 4 door skyline. Easy to drive (auto), looks good, space for mates. Probably only as fast a bommodore, but thats with alot less cubes.

Hi, you may be able to get a little more power with a better air filter and exhaust mods (extractors & so on) to help you out, but I'm sure if you had had power as the first priority when you bought the car, you would have got a turbo in the first place.

When I had my R32 GTS4 (2L turbo, manual) it felt pretty dam good compared to what I had been driving. Weighing in at around 1450kgs it was par for acceleration as a R32 GTS25 (auto) with the above done to it. SO I think with the extra kgs my car was carrying and the mods he had done they sort of equaled out) .

The best I did to 100km/hr was 7.5 secs with a mate stop watching(not the most accurate but...) with a 4.5 k launch, which is pretty dam slow! factory specs for new were 6.75 secs so age and the fact it was my car (wasn't going to do a 6 or 7k launch) hadn't really slowed the car a lot.

I learnt pretty quickly that I wasn't go to blow people away at the lights and that I had to make use of the cars other abilities - like cornering, braking etc if I wanted to stay in the lead (all on a race track of course).

I would say your R32 2.5 is fairly heavy like my old GTS4 and with only 200cc more than the Mazda you have to expect that it will be hard to get one up on them.

Like the others have said , Enjoy the other aspects of your car, its not all about power. Otherwise you would have a GTR ...

I have an R32 GTS25 and i wouldn't say its slow, but it would get killed by an SP23 easily... I have an R34 GTV auto 4 door coming in from Japan at the moment, and I expect that to be even slower again because of the weight increase...

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.

    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
