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.

    • 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
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
