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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
