They are slow. Turbo skylines which are stock as a rock are also quite slow but still not bad for a small turbo motor. There aren't much for the price you can get which are quicker. A slightly boosted turbo skyline with the basic mods(exhaust and probably cooler) is faster than a BMW M3. I had about 180rwkw when I was stock and I managed to get ahead and infront of the M3 bmw V8. Just enjoy the car.

When you are able to get a turbo, you will love it. A skyline with greater than or equal to 200rwkw is a very fun, nice, powerful and fast car.

Love the video above, not many 2.0NA motors can do that!

Naah, or he really wasn't trying..

He was screaming his ear off, my mum was in the car hitting me to slow down. Happened. True story. My old skyline which made 225rwkw would absolutely tear them in half.

Only a GTST, and those I6 M3's are better than the V8's. Doesn't take much more than a little boost to be quicker than them. Top end they have it with their larger displacement motor but down low, we got bigger torque and enough power to get infront.

hmm well when i call a car a boat i refer to the sway it has when cornering and the poor cornering performance, from what i have herd the R33 has this issue stock but can be fixed with suspension n other goodies.

I just sold my R31. Shortly after I test drove an n/a 33 and it handled terribly compared to my 31, and it was also slower (and lacking in the torque).. n/a 33 would have to be the worst n/a skyline you can get in terms of performance, so yes your car is a boat, and yes, your friends 04 camry will obliterate it if you guys have a full heckers mad dog street race..

My boat has whiteline sway bar, bilsteins with king spring, and front and rear strut bracing, it handles great, has a slight touch of understeer mid corner which can be fixed by the accelerator pedal

M3 Evo ~320 at fly, mine made 255rwhp.

You say 180rwkw ~ 241rwhp? When stock? Lies. Stock ones would make about 180rwhp...

In any case, V8 M3 is 414hp @ fly ~ 350rwhp.. no chance especially in a straight line... (Source)

at the end of the day, in non turbocharged form the RB is a moderate revving, small displacement, low static compression ratio engine in a moderately heavy car.

They were never going to be bastions of warp like acceleration, but that's ok it's not what they were built for.

If its one of the newer camry's it would chop your NA R33 lol.

Lol that it would. Refer to the other R33/R34 NA Gutless thread.

How slow is the 0 - 100km/h for a N/A R33? They got to be dam slow to be slower than your granny Camry...

My mum's 02 model takes 10.4 seconds for 0 - 100km/h & it is the 'slightly' more powerful V6 version.

So I can't see how the current ones would be better, since they are all 2.4 4 cyls now & are heavier with each generation with all the extra electronic & safety crap added. If anything one of the older models with a 5 speed manual would probably be the fastest one out of the bunch. This was the case with the Corolla my dad bought (06 model) which was slower in the acceleration department compared to the last gen, due to the fact that it has gain extra weight (for extra safety stuff) without much increase in engine power/torque.

Out of all your typical boring sedans (Accord, Mazda 6, 6 cyl falcodores etc etc) I find the Camry has one of the worest 0 - 100km/h time. Only thing slower on top of my head is the Great Wall X240 (which is not a sedan) which clocks in at 20 seconds :rofl2:

na skylines are weird.

the 33 i had felt slow and sluggish where as my 34 isnt too bad for an na, drove my friends 25gt and my car was much much faster. maybe slash your friends tyres, or undo his wheel nuts

im joking about the wheel nuts and tyres.

That's because the R34 has infinately variable valve timing (intake only) and a variable length intake manifold.

Therefore a much better torque spread across the RPM range.

but why is my r34 so different to my friends :mellow:

Few possibilities.

- Possibly his variable length intake actuature (it actually looks like an actuator for a turbo) could be faulty. it's located on the middle section of the "Y" pipe - vacum leak will cause the actuator to stop working or work intermittently, causing sluggish low end performance.

- Any vacum leak

- Dirty air filter.

- Dirty AFM

- 02 sensor could be getting too old

- Poor quality fuel

- Timing out

- Auto trans slippage

- His car may have done higher KM's

- Engine oil too thick

- Low tire pressure

What makes 180rwhp? My stock turbo skyline was making 193rwkw on 12psi and is a very quick car. How much does the M3 weigh? It is a fairly big car. Both my skylines produced more torque also. In that graph that V8 is making 259ft pounds of torque. My old skyline made close to 320ft pounds and the current one is pushing more than 500ft pounds. I'm sitting on about 700nm and that is out of a small 2.5L 1.3 ton car. And I don't just peak that torque

Yeah you aren't making 700nm of torque.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
