money cures everything

who would have thought that a 1.5L engine could make 1300hp on 100 octane fuel? (F1 cars)

Whoa, my bad..shit how could i forget that?

*slaps himself in the head*

Who could forget Berger with the 1300hp BMW handgrenades! Best F1 engine eva...over the course of 1 qualifying lap...:down:

Its America, who tunes GTRs over there? Are they tuneable yet? you cant even import the things.. Hands down to the money put into that civic tho.

Its Singapore. I saw 1 on the road when I went back for holiday in March this year. I heard from my friend its going for around 300k SGD which is works out to be roughly 240AUD

LOL @ Sore losers

GTR got destroyed in the end...wasnt even a contest..

To me I think its just a vid for fun. Its more like Mod vs Un-mod. The boost of the gtr wasnt brought up and that civic is like 0.5tonne lighter with same power. Not surprising for the win at all but the engine wouldnt last long...

Exactly...teh gtr can lose...lolz

Seriously...i agree it wasn't a fair race...but the close mindedness is shocking...

exactly. remember about 2 seconds ago when someone posted about the GTR Vs Z06 on the corvette forums and everyone is up in arms about how close minded the "yanks" are?

well take a look RIGHT here - the precious "unbeatable" GTR got chopped by a f*kn rice burning front wheel drive civic...which prolly has 2L and 4cyl and "Vtec Power"

who cares if its a fair race..the GTR got destroyed..deal with it...stop being so closeminded because a skyline got destroyed by a lil jap hatchback..

The question is not whether the comparison was fair or not... is it interesting??? Yes!

Does it give a little perspective??? Uhuh!

Does a heavy supercar killer like the GTR35 make some compromises for luxury and pride of ownership??? Yes, they all do, to a greater or lesser degree! Power divided by weight = speed! (roughly speaking)

Am I biased??? Uhuh, I love Hondas!

Should a diehard GTR lover appreciate the obtuse end of the automotive envelope? I think so!

FWD 4 cyl Honda drag cars are in the 7's, and the FWD record holder, as far as I'm aware, is quicker than the world's fastest GTR... (see times in above link) Not bad from 2.2L...

Its Singapore. I saw 1 on the road when I went back for holiday in March this year. I heard from my friend its going for around 300k SGD which is works out to be roughly 240AUD

yeah i was gonna say that vid was from Singapore.

LOL at all the america haters who posted previously..

i hear that there is a thread on oz honda about the video too :blink:

Oh f**kin hell...we'll never hear the end of this one...

Kinda sad really..

" YEAH! GTR suxorz man! Got pwned by teh Vtech yo!! Civic for the TMFW, !!lty!!!11!"

who cares what it laps.. its a drag race.. thats it buddy. straight line only..

and our beloved gtr got owned.. im dealing with it.. why arent u???

props to the civic owner... well built machine

Oh f**kin hell...we'll never hear the end of this one...

Kinda sad really..

" YEAH! GTR suxorz man! Got pwned by teh Vtech yo!! Civic for the TMFW, !!lty!!!11!"

no not really, the thread was created by me, and then was deleted by a mod. Don't worry the Honda guys didnt say anything just wow :blink:

lol why is people all serious about this, its only a video for fun.

because at the end of the day... more money = a faster car, its not about the cars itself, its how much your willing to dump into a car

Edited by Charles89

Pretty insane in all aspects.

Hey I'm not a Honda lover, but to say they used an R35 GTR as a benchmark, that is a sign of respect to us GTR worshippers anyway. So kudos to the tuner.

Put it this way, how do all the Porsche 911 Turbo owners feel when we buy a Nissan GTR and have bragging rights to setting a quicker time at Nurburgring???

Seriously grow up and cop it like mutherphucking men!

who cares if its a fair race..the GTR got destroyed..deal with it...stop being so closeminded because a skyline got destroyed by a lil jap hatchback..

I can't help it... I hate hatchbacks (except the subaru 1800, well thats more of a wagon) LOL :( .

I don't mind if its a Honda (or even hyundai... well maybe a little...) that pwned a GT-R... but why couldn't it be a sedan instead of a hatch.

Now if only someone could tune my Camry to pwn a R35, then I'm happy.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
