i drove my mate's 1995 model 180sx the other day with blactop sr20 which is the same engine used in the s14s aswell. it had catback exhaust and pod. honestly, straight line speed wise it felt alot like my parents' VT 3.8 v6. definately not as quick as i thought it would be.....i haven't driven a r32 so can't say which would be quicker...

factory times say both do around 15secs for 1/4 but keep in mind the r32 is a few years older than the s14s. personaly the series2 s14 has one of my favourite front ends, very mean lookin. but the rest of the car is average. and i hate sr20s.

RB20 engine/exhaust note has to be one of the sweetest sounding ever

Factory time for a Rb20 GTS-T ranges from 14.6/7 from what i've read ¬¬

well it is the same as the one in series2s isn't it?^^

A common misconception is that the blacktop SR20s are all the same. You can basically say that the S13/180SX motors are the same with different cam cover colours.

The S14 (and S15 motors) are different to the S13/180SX motors. Among other things, the S14/S15 motors have -

-Variable Inlet Camshaft Timing (NVCS)

-Larger turbocharger (T28 vs T25G)

-Different inlet manifold setup. (Low port vs High Port)

S15 motors are slightly different again but is of little overall significance.

for example a S1 R33 gts-t would lose in a 1/4 as well, Same with all magna's camry's and other cars that are identical to S1 R33's.

How can you say that when a Stocko R33 runs 14.4?

[evil_weevil]

I'll also vote for Pedro on this one!

[markimak]

stupid question.. this is the type of question that should come from boostcrusing..

sigh.. well basically the S14 is superior, lighter more usable.

180sx S13 red and black are near the same. the S14 and S15 use 28 turbos and have VCT. and high port inlet.

not all s14's have variable cam timing. only the late series 2. you can tell by the lump on the rocker cover.

s14 will beat a r32. infact a s13 will beat a r32.

All S14s have variable cam timing as well as the points i mentioned earlier. How do I know? Because I own both.

but stock they are both slow the s14 and the r32

My r32 when i bought it was stock except for a 3" exhaust but only from the cat back... This exhaust was one of the worst I have ever seen, terrible drone and if anything was causing a loss in power, when i changed it down the track I noticed the difference straight away!

Anyway, with that sh!tter of an exhaust I g'teched my car and ran 0-100km/h in 6.5 seconds. I personally dont consider that slow... but its all in perspective i guess.

but its not fast

[r32line]

but its not fast

At what point does a car become "fast" then, by your definition?

[evil_weevil]

when a car hits 11ty billion m/s - thats fast

[ScorpR32]

when a car hits 11ty billion m/s - thats fast

agree totally

11ty billion m/s is the new benchmark

[Cubes]

Regardless.... YEARS ago back before SAU was born (2001/2002) I was on SDU. One bloke managed a best of 14.2 1/4 mile out of a dead stock R32 with a good launch and some wide tyres. So not really stock as it wasn't running its stock 205/55/16's

lmao... @ 11ty billion.

[EVILTD]

both ugly shit cars anyway... who cars

The WR33 is hot with a nice kit, some nice neon mods and large wheels...... in looks, the R34 IMO cannot match up.

[Cubes]

I think quite the opposite.

The R33 looks awesome when its slightly lowered sitting on a set of wide 255's.

[blinko]

r32 i think... but i come down to the launch and gear changes.. so on
