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.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
