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...

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
