correct me if I am wrong but a Dc2 Aus spec ran a 15.1 for the 400. Only the jap spec which made a little more power ran 14.9-15.0. Not too sure what an auto GTST will run the 400 in...Manuals run it in the mid to low 14's....Would be a close one that is if both are 100% stock

The DC2R would pwn it through the hills.

Yes I agree, One thing the Hondas got right was the whole handling and response package. Easily capable of annoying big dollar euro cars through a winding road

well the DC2 0 - 100 was recorded at 6.7sec

thats pretty awsome for a Non turbo 4cyl.......

the only problem with them is there is no feeling of torque watsoever...

the constant reving & the comparison of the noise its making per its velocity.......it feels like a worn clutch

And being front wheel drive isnt necessarily in their favour either, is it?

yes

apparently Front engine...Front wheel drive is actually more superior compared to the Front engine rear wheel drive in conditions with snow, mud, gravel and wet tarmac.

Mmmm...That must be the jap spec times ( 147 kw as opposed to Aus spec 141 kw- Jap spec had better rubber too ) as I am pretty sure most testers in the day achieved 0-100 in 7 and a 400 mtrs in 15.1...But you are right,very respectable numbers for an NA 1.8 front wheel drive

And Gtr's are useless for traction in any of the above conditions too LOL!!!!

and so is the Bugatti VEYRON are also usless for traction in any of the above conditions too LOL!!!!

the Title was talking about an AUTO GTS-T and an Integra Type-R

Im for the r33 simply cos the combo of torque and an auto gearbox is full proof for drag racing while the teg would require careful rev and clutch control for a proper launch.

on another note, fabulous cars though! both of them

I'll depends on the driver, if the driver for the Type-R is skilled in launch & gear changes then Type-R probably tiny bit faster. But if you talking about average day people then auto GTS-T will probably own, as said above auto boxes are easy to do drags with & you get perfect shift everytime.

The gtst for sure, if 33 has a shift kit the gtst by a lot more. When i was running 8 psi and my mate was running 11 psi i used to beat him every time our cars had almost the same mods except i had a shift kitted auto and he had a manual (all tests were performed on private roads...).

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
