14.9 and 15.1, huge difference.

This thread delivers....

You've proven my point.

Hence the "15".

If it was a 15.9 then it's a very long way from a 14. As it is a 15.6/7 is still a very long way from a 14. With an exhaust and highflow filter a 15.6 is about right. It might even go a bit faster as N/A SRs respond very well to opening up the lungs. That makes a stocko a flat 16 second car (maybe a 15.9/8 if it's an extra healthy one).

If they drop 200kg they should be able to go from 15.1 to 14.9, ...or 15.6 to 15 4.

.......in theory.....I think.......who cares......

I want a 11.9 on street tyres but have only got a 12.2, now thats a long way away..

Unless of course the driver of the commonwhore didnt know there was a "race" happening at the time, bit like the time the Honda YO raced me, he reved it up and took off with a little chirp whilst I took of normaly from the lights, he had a epic win that day and Im sure that somewhere in failbook or twatter land his win was all the talk of the day....

If my math is correct a 15 yr old NA 34 had when new 114 kw at 1550ish kg = 0.07kw/kg

a 15 yr old NA commonwhore had when new 152 kw at 1550ish kg = 0.10kw/kg

Power to weight the commonwhore wins.

Also a note to remember is that alot of the kw have fallen out the exhausts on both cars, but at least the commonwhore is alot less money now too.

Feel free to correct my math.

I see all these complaints about NA skylines getting kained by v6 commies, too bad the other day I saw the same skyline I saw for sale (18,000) get it's arse owned by a v6 commodore flat out

This makes no sense.

You've said twice, how a n/a skyline gets pwnd by a v6 commonwhore.

Internet don't lie!

More math.

A 2001 NA S15 weighs 1250ish kg with 121ish kw, 121/1250 = 0.096kw/kg

So 2001 NA Commonwhore wins with 0.098KW/KG, followed closely by 2001 NA S15 with 0.096KW/KG, dragging its arse at the rear is the 2001 NA Skyline with 0.073KW/KG.

The Skyline has 26.6% less overall power than the Commonwhore and 24% less overall power than the S15.

To find the car with the most power is easy, divide the power and the weight to give the power to weight ratio, there are alot of variables to concider though, but all things being equal the heigher the number the quicker the car.

Bugatti Veyron 736kw / 1888kg = 0.389kw/kg

Mazda MX 5 104kw / 1065kg = 0.097

R32 GTR 206kw / 1450kg = 0.142

R34 GTR 244kw / 1536kg = 0.158

New SV6 210kw / 1656kg = 0.127

New SSV 260kw / 1743kg = 0.149

New GTR 401kw / 1740kg = 0.230

Boring Thursday is boring

that tells most of the story, but not all of it. how an engine delivers it's power will give a better indication of how fast it will be. plus gear ratios. for example, if a commodore had gear ratios similar to those of a skyline then they would give even mild turbo skiylines a bit of a scare because of the amount of low down power they produce compared to small engined turbo cars. they would also be a nightmare to launch without a ploom of tyre smoke.

This is a terrible equation anyway purely because 90% of commodores are auto, 99% if not ALL S15s are manual. Gear ratios would be a lot shorter in the S15 and thus better for acceleration. I think .002 less of a KW/KG would be negated due to the slug auto verses quick shifting and short gears.

All the vehicles I used were 2001,manuals, with specs taken from "carsales" if you start comparing auto and manuals your wasting your time .the history and service condition of the car has more impact than auto Vs manual IMO.

Just like comparing cars from different years,.

pointless boy race pissing content is pointless,

Either go to a race track or drag way, interweb pissing wars about penis size are fought without brains or common sense..

Borc188, where did you get your facts about the amount of manuals and autos for S15s, a quick search seemed to disprove this, were you using the AUD or the JDM or a mixture of both, or was it just a quess ?

Comparing cars on paper for drag outcomes is dumb. Not only are there too many variables in it, that people never seem to take into account (gear ratios being my favourite), but most people on the road do not know how to drag and would struggle to get the factory/test 0-100 times for their vehicles. Even autos can be launched poorly in the traffic light GP.

Comparing cars on paper is the first step in working out their performance, why do you think power to weight ratios are considered before race care and drag cars are built.

Yes their are a plethora of things to consider, but power to weight is the first quick bit of hasty calculations to work out the performance potential.

I pulled it out of my arse, wouldn't you also assume that most S15s would be Manual while most VTs and the like would be Auto?

Fair assumption I reckon.

And S15 Autech NAs still won't pull a 14 stock. They might break into the 15s.

I pulled it out of my arse, wouldn't you also assume that most S15s would be Manual while most VTs and the like would be Auto?

No I wouldnt assume, I would do a bit of research and come up with something like around 5% of VT are manual and around 75% of S15 are manual.

But what has that got to do with anything anyway, what if the S15 was a Auto ?? who cares, that isnt the issue, you are not comparing transmissions, you are comparing the performance of different vehicles, and without them having the same platform it would not be accurate, to be fair I chose to use the same platforms for all cars, hence all cars are standard NA and manual.

In the end I dont really care how slow NA cars are, but I do like a good discussion as long as relevant facts are used.

I assume you understand

Now you're just being silly for the sake of being factually correct in any way possible. You know most S15s would be manual and you also know that most VTs would be manual.

If an NA S15 came up against a VT at a TLGP you can safely assume that the S15 would be manual and the VT more than likely auto.

Don't need to get all smartarse with your italics just to prove a point. If you really did care about being factually correct you would go and research and post the official manufacturer 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.

Oh and just FYI you didn't choose the same platform, you chose Weight + Power, no where does that suggest what an actual manual versus auto will do, no doubt the manual would be quicker but you haven't proven that yet have you.

You want to be serious? You would assume a 20% drivetrain loss with a VT as MOST would be automatic, the S15 would have maybe a 10-15% loss due to majority of them being manual, so out goes your power to weight theory and that's not even counting the shorter gear ratios of the S15s.

We're comparing apples with apples here so I don't understand why you want to come off as the know it all in the thread when to begin with they're both shit cars in NA form.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
