thanks for that mate it does kinda help.

the thing is, my cousin in law has 2 cars that he's selling, a 94 R33 GTS4 auto NA and a 2000 model honda civic VTiR 2 door coupe. now i'm not allowed to get a turbo yet. now if i get the civic i'm afraid of people calling it "ricer" and shit :) coz it is kitted, etc. but i also would'nt mind keeping the NA R33 till i'm off my Ps so basically this is why i'm full of questions lol

thanks

I would go the Civic VTiR over an R33 GTS4 auto NA (provided the Civic bodykit isn't too extreme). The weight of four wheel drive and automatic would dull the performance of the RB25DE considerably IMO - A manual Civic VTiR might actually even be faster in a straight line! (But if so, not by much...)

it allways cracks me up watching nissan fans bash honda :) honda have made cars that no nissan ever built (stock) could touch.

Dunno about every one else, but I'm pretty sure an R34 GTR N1 or NUR could keep up with anything (on 4 wheels) honda can throw at them...

Get a Vti-R and turbo it if you 'must' have a turbo. The VTi-R will be very reliable, and will go very well too. My brother had a VTi-R civic Coupe. 118kw and it was awsome (smacked down rb25de) skylines no problem. He later turbo'd it.. and let me tell you, no rb25det skyline was comming anywhere near it.. haha!!! The car has since sold and so has the turbo kit, and the new owner achieved 185fwkw and has since ran a 12.5 on semi-slicks down the 1/4. Pretty impressive if you ask me. Thats another option you can take if you wish.

Yeah, I know I wouldn't take my Skyline near something that at any minute could torque steer violently across 6 lanes of traffic and end up in someones living room...

NSX? im sure that cld beat a fair few nissans around :blink:

come on guys, be more mature than that ... if we just start bashing everything else, then we are no better than the next scum that bags our cars ... think about it ... well our meaning your, i dont have a skyline no more

I dont reckon there was any real Honda bashing there. In fact, I said I would go the VTiR over the skyline a few posts back, and I respect a few Honda's out there for sure.

The original comment got a reaction from me because of its speciffic wording:

honda have made cars that no nissan ever built (stock) could touch.

That comment seems a bit strong to me. To say that no Nissan can touch them is rediculous! In each key rivalry (Silvia vs Ingegra, S2000 vs 350Z, NSX vs GTR, etc), each car has its pro's and con's, and there is no quantifiable evidence of one car being better than the other. One might do something better than the other, but fall down in other areas.

And in regards to my torque steering comment - it was obviously a joke.

hondas are nice cars no doubt about that but as for turbo charging them and modifying to get some real power out of the things if you spent the same amount of cash on a skyline ud pull out much bigger power... its stupid to compare the two though and as for hondas vs nissan "(stock)" its pretty rediculous to even try and say that a modified nsx would go harder then a gtr...

Get a honda prelude! they're a little cheaper than the integras and go very hard round the corners. and you get VTEC yo.

it allways cracks me up watching nissan fans bash honda :D honda have made cars that no nissan ever built (stock) could touch.

are ypu talking about R34 GTR .. u gotta be kiddng me LOL .. give us your nsx n we'll show you what power is :) stock to stock

Edited by BiAsA
o yea and your s2000 can't even touch our 350z LOL ..

2L 4cly 'vs' 3.5L V6...? The S2000 is still the better car. What that s2000 engine does stock is nothing short of amazing. If I had $80k floating about, Id be going the S2000 over almost any other car in that price range any day.

Stock for stock the NSXs are quicker around a track and in a straight line than the GTRs - at least on average in the tests I have seen done by mad Japanese. The Nismo Z-Tune throws all that out, but theres no shame in an NA 3.2l RWD being slower than a GT500 car that got tricked into being a road car.

VTiR vs. turbo Skyline, the Turbo Skyline ftw. However, Type-R vs. turbo Skyline - in a straight line turbo Skyline ftw, around corners I tend towards the Type-R.

Fun for dollar spent, probably the Type-R - especially the way fuel prices are going.

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
