Does anyone know if those are correct?

According to that an RB20DE (Non-turbo) R32 is quicker than an RB25DE (Non-turbo) R33??

I know the 33's are a bit heavier than the 32's but I thought the extra power in the RB25DE would still make the R33 quicker?

Does anyone have accurate times and power figures for these cars?

not accurate the rb25de is 147kw @ 6000 rpm and the 1/4 mile time is quicker than 16.21 im pretty sure it was around 16 and high 15s but theres no way a r32 rb20de is faster than a r33 rb25de , the r32 rb20de doesnt even make 90kw at the wheels...

All this is makeing my 15.9 R31 sound pretty quick in terms of NA skylines.  Who would have thought the least sportiest of the skylines could be one of the fastest.

Thats because in my opinion, the RB is nissans best line up of engines ever. anyone care to disagree??? :) :wassup: :cheers:

R33 GTS25 - 147kw (200hp)/1470kg (stock) - what's the VL RB30E engine rated at stock?

IMHO the GTS25 is not a bad buy if you want a simple cruiser without the hassles of a turbo. Just avoid the 2L GTS model, though I don't think there are many of those in Aussie.

i got this off rbforums.com

RB30E

Capacity - 2.960L

Induction - EFI NA

Valve Train - Single Overhead Cam

Bore x Stroke - 86.0 x 85.0 mm

Compression Ratio - 9.0:1

Maximum Power - 114kW @ 5600rpm

Maximum Torque - 247Nm @ 4000rpm

RB25DE

Capacity - 2.498L

Induction - EFI NA

Valve Train - Double Overhead Cam

Bore x Stroke - 86 x 71.7mm

Compression Ratio - 10.0:1

Maximum Power - 140kW @ 5600rpm

Maximum Torque - 230Nm @ 4800rpm

The VL has more torque (obiously, bigger displacement). I reckon it would be a close run but i guess it would all come down to driver ability......

Thats because in my opinion, the RB is nissans best line up of engines ever. anyone care to disagree??? :( :wassup:  :P

VH-VK series is hands down the best... many other engines capable of making up to and over 1000hp NA... oh they just love boost too :headspin:

edit: on pump gas, daily driven :)

nah i own heaps of things with my Little 2 L its a lot faster then i thought it wood b  

I can't see a Rb20de Beating me But the r32 Rb25 wood go Hard i think  

Man your cars auto, i've absolutly spanked an auto sr20de silvia in my non turbo R33 manual RB20E!!!!!!

Thats a 2L single overhead cam Rb

So i'd hate to see how your auto sr20de would go against an rb25de, or even an rb20de.. they'd rape u

A good rb25de will be able to run a stockish silivia ca18det..

What's the differnec between a type S and type M r33?

Type M applies to turbo models - R32 type M's had better brakes and few extra goodies. In the R33 series all turbo's are Type M.

Type S applies to non-turbo's, not sure about the difference in the R32 series but for R33's (GTS25 only) you get 10 extra HP, standard HICAS (I think) and a few other extras.

Have a look here for more info:

Timmays old R31 5speed GTS stocker ran a 15.1 sec 1/4. :rofl:

Not a bad effort, watching the run was quite funny, really hard chirps in to 2nd and 3rd.

Almost as if he was going to rip the shifter out.

Don't let peak power fool you ppls.

Its the area under the curve and torque that accelerates a car.

15.1     That is amazing.   Poeple on other forums are laughing at anyone who say thier R31 can beat a stock auto VN commodore.

i do believe he said it was a GTS skyline.. so depending on if its a SI/II or SIII from memory i think they have 130kw and 140kw compared with the 118kw of the normal R31.. so yes, a GTS R31 should beat a VN commodore u would hope. having said that, i have a VN berlina auto wagon and it leaves my mum's GXE R31 5 speed for dead.. both are stock. VN wagon: 0-100 best: 7.94 (timed with stopwatch accurately) on a cold night (makes almost a second difference compared to a warm day).. 3/4 tank normal unleaded and able to get consistent mid 8's.. with the 7.94 i got heaps of traction with the auto stalled up (good road surface)

both the R31 and the VN seem to have quite similar power in high revs despite being totally different engines.. they both pull about the same up top.. but the low down torque of the VN gets it moving up to the top revs a hell of a lot faster. but the RB30 is so much smoother compared with the old buick rattler lol. :wassup:

I use to have a VN manual V6 these are probably the fastest of the the V6 commodore range the VS's-VT's couldnt get near it. I had Extractors, twin cats into a 2 1/2 exhaust, pod and a powerchip gold 98 chip. It used to fly for what it was I miss the rattly old beast.

We timed it at 7 flat from 0-100 traction being the main problem no LSD so 8s and 8.5s wearnt uncommon.

Guest jimmyd17

yes i agree.. i think the VN's would be right up there in terms of the fastest V6 commodores. i would be interested to see how the VN lined up against a new VZ alloytec 175kw in a 0-100 test. i reckon it would definately give one a run.

here is a quote from AutoWeb doing a review on a VZ acclaim wagon:

"The 0-100 km/h time we gained (car unladen, one person, low fuel) was about 9.3 seconds 0-100 – certainly nothing to write home about. But more important than the bare number is that on the road, the car never feels particularly punchy. The new engine has a very flat torque curve (ie there’s higher than usual power available at all revs), but the absolute torque output isn’t very great."

source: http://autoweb.drive.com.au/cms/A_2391/article.html

i worked out that the VN wagon has 8nm of torque more PER TONNE, than the VZ alloytec wagon.

so one would have to guess the good old VN wouldnt have too many problems leaving behind a VZ auto wagon considering the approximate tested figures are over a second in favour of the VN. but what would come out on top if it were a VZ SV6, 6 speed manual 190kw?

here is a quote Drive doing a review on a VZ SV6, 6 speed sedan:

"The SV6 can't match the Falcon's off-idle grunt but it pulls well from about 2000rpm, cruises easily and with great economy on the highway limit at only 1800rpm in sixth. The zero-100kmh trip takes 8.3 seconds - slower than the Falcon, but fast enough."

source: http://www.drive.com.au/editorial/article....px?id=8916&vf=1

i guess all the newer commodores have progressively gotten heavier and i reckon slower lol.

hrmm I'm pretty sure it was, the Timmay in Adelaide, Red R31 that he has now sold? :rofl:

My other half just said it wasn't.

I'll have to check the vid.

With regards to the VN's I've found it to be like this.... :(

VN Auto - Slower than a VS II Auto

VN Manual - Faster than a VS II Manual.

The VS's manual gearing sucks. :D

I had a VL Commodore with a 2.5" & extractors. It was quite a bit quicker than a friends VN that had a 2.25" and also quicker but only slightly than a friends VS II.

The VS series 2 ecotec's really got up and moved, well for what they are. :)

    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
