Hey All

Just wondering if there is a site or something where I can find the basic power (in KW-atw) of some cars...

The main things I'm tryin to figure out are:

How many KW-atw are the following cars... (from factory)

R34-GT-t

S14 (angry eye, not sure what series they are)

R33 S2

and S15 spec R and spec S

As you can tell, my knowledge at this stage is quite limited, so please feel free to correct any mistakes I may have made in trying to outline what I'm after in this post.

Any help would be appreciated guys, Just trying to do my research before I go out and buy my first 'turbo' car.

Thanks

Sam :)

Oh ok, so the 34 would be the quickest of all? Why would the S15 be the go if the 33 and 34 would smoke them? Are they alot lighter or something?

This may sound like an odd request too, but does anyone know the rwkw of a 3.8L commodore ecotech engine, and a 5.7 Gen III ? Just so I have some sort of comparison between the speeds... Reason being my mate has a VU-SS ute and I want to be able to smoke him when I get a new car. For the record, I'm presently driving a 99 2L NA Subaru Liberty wagon, and its slow as hell.

Thanks again guys.

i know what your trying to get, you want a car that in stock form is a weapon... the best 'bang for your buck' sort of thing. But a cars power is easily changed with a bit of boost here, and an intercooler there.

At the same time dont discount other factors like how well it puts the power down. Also the quality of the car itself, both interior and engine wise aswell. I said go the S15 because it really is a good looking car in dead stock form, and the amount of mods on the market for it are mind boggling. Its a light car, 6 speed box and huge engine potential.

but remember you are on a skyline forum so i think most of the advice your going to get will be biased towards certain cars

R34 GT-T: 150Kwatw stock with 3in catback and pod filter 171.5Kwatw for manuel auto about 168Kwatw

if u were going to buy any of those i would suggest the r34 i own one and have also driven an s15 spec r and happy to say that it doesnt come close to the r34 but it all depends what u r after but power wise and handling the 34 is the one for u.

A 225kW Gen III are usually good for ~190rwkW. Easy to get them to 250+rwkW with intake exhaust and tune, a low 12 second car on street tyres in the hands of a good driver. Saying that they are heavy so driving them fast and also in gear acceleration isn't all that flash. My experience from previously owning a 257rwkW Monaro.

just go buy a supercharged bullet (mx5 copy)

350hp n 1100kgs or so.. cant go wrong

How quick are they? A few years ago Motor had an article on it and they presumed it do around 5 sec 0-100 km/h. IMO thats way too slow as it has around 300 KW and weighs just a tad over a tonne.

I think traction may have been a problem. :angry:

spose it depends on how much you got to spend too! r33's are great for modding and a hell of alot cheaper then an s15

if you spent the money on the r33 that you would have saved from getting an s15 you would be able to rip 99% of cars on the road however r33's are older? meh hard choice i guess.

have you looked into rx7's supras and so on?

if you dont have much money try going for an old school silvia they are really cheap and arnt bad with performance.

Thanks so much for your replys guys.

My wagon is really practical for me so I was also thinking a GT forester, I don't spose anyone knows the rough amount of power they put out? However I'm quite sick of AWD, and would like something RWD again.. And don't say stagea, I think they're ugly, lol.

Oh and my budget is around 25g give or take.

Kenedy, I assume on that link you sent me, the figures are from the flywheel?

Thanks again.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
