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

Also 4x the price

yeh forgot to mention that my original post was for cars basically under 10K becasue thats the max i was going to spend so i didnt consider $30,000 s2000's or 15K> DC2 R's

also Supra's are quick, my main point was that for the price sports sedans and the best option performance wise

or you could buy a small import (MX5, MR2, VTEC Civic/Integra) and make it handle like Krazy.

'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

the gear ratios of magnas require you to shift into 3rd before 100kmh, so give a slower time. same sort of thing goes for cars that do sub 4 second 0-100s will all do it in 1st gear. the moment you have to change to second you get much slower times.

Err quoted kurb weight of an s15 is around 1400kgs with an alloy sr20 add 120odd kg of iron rb and they would weigh around the same as an r34

Thats like when people put rb20s into s13

um it weighs slightly more than a r32 with the same motor

Ditto for the Supra. Pretty sure it will only get to ~90km in second. I wasn't really being serious, I was trolling. IMO, I like Magnas as much as I like Falcodores. They're great for what they're designed to do, but anyone who acts like their some sort of performance machine should be shot. Not saying NA Supras are anything special, every car in this thread is woefully slow, but I'd still argue Supras are the best value P plate legal car you can buy.

and how much does yours do?

Dunno. Perfect launch and shifts I'd hope it would be under 6.5seconds, as it has decent tyres, LSD, and a full exhaust, but then again it is a 17 year old engine.

that's the reason i bought a vt commodore for the 60+km drive to work everyday. cost me $3550, even being lowered with 18's it still gives a reasonably soft and smooth ride (although i'm going to get some stock springs for it since it will be much cheaper than a camber kit), uses less than 9L/100kms and has very comfy seats and cruise control.

That's fine. What annoys me is that every single P plate Magna I come across tries to race me. As if they have to prove their car is the fastest P plate legal car and the Supra is a challenge.

lol marc's onto something there...

I had a na 33 gts4 manual for a daily, got around 10-11l/100km but got sick of the noise and harsh ride (that said, my 32 is absolutely rock solid)

Sold it and bought my au falcon for 2500 (158km), spent a grand and a half on it making it pretty / new brake pads / exhaust etc and its running brilliant. Gets me 12l/100km around town without needing a light right foot.

Loads faster than the na33 too.

No RB in silvia then lol, i gave thought to it but never bothered reseaching whether it will work ,engine conversions dont seem like fun at all, anyway good idea or not weight is the NA's number one killer.

This thread got me thinking what my car would do 0-100, had a crack at it last night got around a 7.3 second time.

Will kick out the 100kg passanger next time and see what i can get, goes alright for my needs.

haha lol n/a skylines were really not built for being pushed that hard tbh, so scared that the clutch will go any minute..

Yea... destroyed the stock clutch half way down the drag strip... now have a heavy duty Exedy + all of the N/A running gear is the same as a turbo'd car only difference in mine is that it has a 20 box instead of a 25.

Try getting that sort of time uphill..

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
