To be honest, all Honda people think that, typical Honda speak, i don't mean to generalise but that's the reality

As far as the comparison, i really don't think the 4th gen Prelude will match up to a GT-V - which has better low down torque, LSD bigger brakes than the standard 25GT model

The only Prelude i think will give an R34 a run for its money is a JDM 3rd gen V-tec Prelude with mild mods, mate of mine has one with Mugen Extractors, pod filter and full X-force exaust and he's pulling 110kws atw, bearing in mind they are also 1100kgs

I hate these threads but I love posting in them, go figure. Just go and do the drag race already. On paper though, the Prelude will win in a dash off the line. In a rolling drag from 80km/h...might be more even / in favour of the Skyline. Just look at the 0-100 times of them both. VTi-R Preludes are no slugs by N/A standards. And squareznboxez...Preludes are more like 1350kg from memory.

Stats don't mean shit unless your racing brand spankn new cars straight from the factory, maintenance plays a big part in comparing used cars, If a cars had a hard life then i think its fair to say it will certainly have less power and torque than what it had brand new. Even if a car has 50hp more than another car on paper it doesn't necessarily mean its going to be the fastest, might have low compression on a cylinder and have a f(*ked piston or something.. lol.. You never know who will win until you race. :)

oh boy another of these threads.

Go to a race track/drag strip and find out.

Too many factors as the guys pointed out above.

Also transmissions, mods and driver skill - Launching a FWD prelude is heaps harder than a RWD skyline.

Pointless thread really.

Who's di(k is bigger

probably be a close race and come down to who gets the better launch. sure the fwd is a bit harder to launch, but they aren't that hard but the honda's aren't exactly torque monsters so wheelspin is less of an issue. go and try and launch a manual 3.5L magna and you will find it a bit harder.

both cars being dead stock and with a decent launch from each vehicle i think i would probably have to put my money on the honda though.

and skyline owners talk the same was as well. basically it's the same shit with a different brand. nearly every fan boy is going to say that their car is faster than a different make, reguardless of whether it actually is or not.

I also agree with this...

Fan boys piss me off

Sorry my mistake, the curb weight of 4th gen Preludes are 1280 kg, which is the one my mate has, the JDM V-tec versions had the same power from the factory as a R34 25GT, assuming your mate's one is the more common ADM non V-tec model i think your car will be much better.

5th gen Preludes are even worse unless you have a JDM Type-S

With the fanboy statement i think Honda fans rate their V-tecs much more than any other car fans rate their NA or turbo cars

My Supra is faster than both. ;)

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
