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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
