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. ;)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
