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

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
