And btw its not that heavy compared to something like a Supra coming in at 1500kg.

one came on a cruise awhile ago with skylines, 180sx and silvias and it was nothing special through the dande mountains

having driven a 300TT manual, 32s, 33s and my room mate has an s15 i'd say that the 300 definately feels the quickest.

206kw is the claimed output - 225kw is probably more accurate figure from tests on dynos, combined with 390 or so Nm of torque.

all are fun cars to be in for factory cars!

Oi, stock skyline is quite special I say

I think Kr1sh is right, the 300zx must be fastest because it has 2 turbos.

Next quickest is the S15 because it has an A pillar mounted boost guage.

ok i'm sick of everyone crapping on about their sub par cars so i'm just going to tell "use all" the definative answer to all these VS questions.

My 1980 Datsun Sunny will rip you all to pieces!! In the straights around the twisties - doesn't matter maaait! :burnout:

k?

lol as if u get an R32 GTR instead of an S15..well for me anywayz as the "date" issue would be the main factor. talking about which car is fastest is stupid as many people here have outlined that they can easily be modded off there "tits" lol.......so yeah go for the one who brings most value to you and the one most worth buying. =)

Guilty:

Lets remember we're comparing a car that cost $180,000 ten years ago to a car that costs $40,000 today.

As for modern features the r32 still has digital climate control.. I believe the australian delivered s15 has analogue controls that look like shit? I guess the r32 is missing air bags. But it does have racing-standard ABS.

Oh right we're talking styling right? Well I guess the s15 looks more modern inside and out.. and if we're going to be spending 10k to make the s15 keep up with the GTR, why not spend 10k making the GTR look more modern.. a tasteful kit, leather interior, respray - wheels? Not for me but it would certainly make it comparable styling wise.

Or do you mean the fact that the S15 won't break down as much.. are you sure about that? the part's in the GTR are thoroughly overengineered and i dare say will take more of a beating than the 200's. They have to. I'm sure if you spent the 10 grand you where going to spend on performance mods for the S15, you could get all the major components like the turbo, brakes, suspension etc. in this 10 year old car replaced with new.

It comes down to your priorities on what you want in said car.

I think the reason we buy these cars is because of how they drive.. I'll take the gtr over the s15 in that department. Hey there's a whole new VS thread!

:bahaha: :bahaha: :bahaha:

I think that a lot of people buy a car based on stock quarter mile times. Or at least, that's what they say in here. I find that mode of choice dubious at best.

For some reason when I clicked on the thread I expected this 'Versus' thread to be about these 5 cars in a demolition derby. My money's on the 300ZX :)

Anyway, supra, if you want the stock specs of the cars go to http://imports.motortraders.net

the 180 isnt faster than the r32... my mate has one and if we both get perfect take off's we stick together the whole way but if its a rolling start at like 50 than the 32 ****s the 180... and 300's arnt worth it. i was lookin at gettin one cause i thought they were fast untill i ****ed a turbo'd one up the other night so ive decided to stick with mine ay....but s15's are nice have to admit...

These X vs Y threads SO remind me of two little kids in a playground starting with "Superman could beat up Batman" :argue: and eventually getting round to "My Dad is tougher than Your Dad." :fight!:

Exactly! All of these cars are fast enough when stock to be considered "fast", and they modify generally easily and fairly cheaply (300ZX may be an exception due to V engine). About the only thing that you could say is "better" about some is that the lighter ones (180SX, Silvia) will get more bang per buck from performance mods, because of lesser weight. The 300ZX being the heaviest obviously gets the least value from its mods, with the Skylines somewhere in the middle. But they can all be made to be bloody fast, so I don't know why so many people care so much how fast they are from the factory.

i think u's are all losing sight of the actual question being asked here, the cars...STOCK.

he aint askin about mods.

and as others have said, due to the 300 coming STOCK with twin turbs, it might have a chance of winning! but then he didnt exactly specify whether the 300zx was the tt or the na.

so....lets talk about stock baby...lets talk about stock baby...

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
