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...

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
