Don't the VZ Commos have the 3.8L engine? The BMW 330i for sure has 170kW from factory.

LOL, no they don't run a 3.8L.

They run a 3.6 Alloytec, and a multitude of gearboxes which alter the performance.

If we're getting into this one, on a good run, the Honda Jazz will out do certain Alloytec V6 Commos to 80KM/H... The real test is that it will be beaten by the commo on the 1/4 mile.

I've seen many 300 and 400RWKW cars get munched in a traffic light GP, purely because they're a pig to get off the mark, but once above 100KM/H they really mumbo. The 0-100KM/H is HUGELY dependent on the launch...

just to add the RALLIART magna is the fastest non turbo 6 cylinder (quickest car legal under Restrictions)

3.5 L V6

180 KW

0-100 - 6.8 sec

1/4 Mile - 14.7 sec

apparently they could even beat the VT SS and AU XR8.

the VrX Magna also had a 3.5 L V6 which produced 155 KW

so my argument is that the Fastest cars out there for P Platers are sports sedans. EG. Magna, XR6, SS.

Make your choice if you want your car too look cool (imports like, NA supras,skyline, Mr2, 300ZX, impreza etc.all which have reasonable performance) or have the fastest car possible

i'm a responsible driver, others just fly past me on a 60 road and i'm like, "calm down buddy far out...." (99% of the time)

PLUS -> i've never ever got a fine, speeding ticket, parking ticket, red camera or any road related offence in my almost 2 years of driving, that's how responsible i am...

a turbo skyline/supra will endevour to pop your police encounter cherry, they too have some sort of dark evil magic inside them :D

S2000/Integra Type R are both faster than a Magna and still legal under P plate laws.

No one said anything about price, this guy said that the magna is faster....which is bullshit.

How many 17yo kids do you know who could afford the S2000...also not much faster in a straight line to the magma or a 4L falcon etc...and tahst all 17yo kids car about.

He said quickest 6cyl I believe...?

S2k, ITR's are 4cyl.

Anyway, along with s2k's and itr's, also ep3r's, golf r32's and n/a supras are pretty quick, 0-100. Those would be my picks if that was the goal.

Although I can kind of see where the OP is coming from (imagining the R34 would be quicker); it's not really, such is how it is.

It's still a nice car imo; but you won't be the quickest mofo on the road, lols. Reasonable performance and nice looks imo (:

'93 stock NA Supra will do 0-100 anywhere between 6.2 (independently tested) and 6.7secs (factory claimed) according to various sources. nyaanyaa.gif

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
