My mates saying a non turbo r34 is slower than a non turbo r33. because the r34 weighs more and the engines are same power wise. is this true?

also, is a s2000 fast?

Also, is manual faster than a automatic car?

also, is launching on your manual car bad for it?

also, my r33 smells like smoke sometimes, like fart smart.. what is it ? :S

That is all. thanks

Q# 2

A Honda S2000 is a great RWD car. But even great cars have their faults. AP1 version came out in 1999.

You need to keep it up in the high rev range to maintain a spirited acceleration. Power outputs differed from US to EU to JP ie 237 bhp (177Kw) to 247 bhp (184Kw)

Cornering is good too! The AP2 version of 2004 had a retuned susp'n.

Hope this helps!

Yawn! Getting tired now...

Quit hogging all the good questions, Terry!

I'll take care of number 1 since you're tired....

According to the most recent scientific analysis, an R34 non-turbo driving at 45 km/h will be 10% slower than an R33 at 50 km/h, however, this all depends on the distance of the pedal to the floor panel. If you ever want to drag-race an R33 non-turbo while driving an R34 non-turbo, make sure you ask for at least a 1 second handicap, it's only fair.

Hope this helps,

I think the R33 N/A has about 5kW more than the R34 N/A, just from reading the Department of Transport and Regional Services Register of Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicals - http://rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/sevs/030-00.htm

also, is a s2000 fast?

For a 2lt Inline 4 N/A their pretty fast with 179kW IMO but no faster that a turbo Skyline, but depends who you talk to LOL!

Also, is manual faster than a automatic car?

Beauty of a manual is that you can change gear when you want, same goes for Tiptronic Auto gearboxes. You could say Autos are faster at changing gears but I and some Beg to differ... Hehe!!

also, is launching on your manual car bad for it?

I would say so, even when done correctly or with twin, triple and quad plates you will get wear and tear.

also, my r33 smells like smoke sometimes, like fart smart.. what is it ? :S

You farted Haha!!

Could be just abit of burnt oil blowing out your exhaust, Skylines don't exactly have the nices smelling enignes

That is all. thanks

Cool!

Id guess with the neo engine, the r34 should have more power; not much. regardless, NA skylines are slooooow, i put down a total of 78awkw in a gts-4 automatic.......beaten by a prelude in a drag.

s2000 is slow compared to a GTR, someones gonna flame me here but its probably because im used to turbo. I had a test drive and the gearboxes r fantastic; very smooth and sounds good but dosent really go anywhere.

the new model s2000 which we dont get here in Aus has an upgraded 2.2litre engine for more torque. Ive seen a few run 13's with nitrous and they are great on the track.

Dont have an answer for auto and manual cos technically only the fastest drag cars will use an auto and track is no different (SLR AMG uses automatic and so does the CLK black)

Launching a car hard will hurt something; every action there is a reaction! so either the clutch will burn or the tyres + HD clutch will send shock through either the gearbox, driveshaft or diff.

Only as strong as your weakest link.

The fart smell is probably a combination of fuel and the catalytic converter; petrol is a fossil fuel and will contain sulfur which when burned up in the cat can produce that smell of rotton eggs or fart.

Also cane a new car and it will smell for the first 5-12,000kms of its life; dont know y but either a new cat contains sulfur or the lack of flow in a new cat causes richening of the injectors and leads to explanation 1 ^^

e.g. my BMW, my mums landrover and any rental car i get ahold of.

I just love the S2000!

It's a remarkable car for its engine size and no turbo; but...

as John says, it isn't quite up to a Turbo Nissan when you consider that a) most are modified or begging to be; and b) the specs of its power output were understated.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
