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..

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
