R33 GTS25-t against Porsche Carrera...

On paper, a Porsche Carrera is 1500KG and 230KW-260KW at the flywheel, depending on the model.

Now, I'm wondering how an R33 GTS25-t with 200-220 RWKW would compete, given the cars are approximately the same weight. The R33 has suspension, etc also. What other variables will come into play? How badly will I be beaten?

The Carrera is supposed to run 0-100 in around five seconds. Where can I find a quarter mile time?

I don't believe those specs!

Since when does an R32 GTR take 14.0 secs down the quarter, and more to the point, since when is an R33 GTR (13.9) quicker than a 32?

An RZ SUPRA stops the clocks @ 13.6. A standard Supra Versus a standard GTR does not end in the Supra winning by 1/2 a second.

yeah i dont believe half of those "specs" either, i doubt there even from a reliable source. ( e.g one time at caulder i seen a ferrari get 17 seconds thats heaps slow to any factory specs, quarter mile times depend on the drivers as well, not just the power and weight the car has, coz after all the car doesnt throw itself down the quarter mile does it... ).

the only way you can test to see which car is quicker is to actually go and line up on the quarter..... just coz it says one is quicker than the other on paper doesnt mean much until you've actually gone out and tested to see if its true or not.

new ones are 0-100 in 5.2 I do believe (and that's not the S model) he'll be able to launch @ much higher revs, doesn't have to wait for boost..

mate's dad has a brand new 997 carrera (within the last 2 months).. and damn it's quick..

I still think the porsche would win - having 11" wide rear tires + a thousand tricky gadgets in it that stop things like wheel spin, downforce..

grib levels on a porsche are pretty decent..

here you go - this is for a carrera s -

year - name - 0-100 - 1/4mile

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S 997 (6 spd Man) 4.1 12.60

1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 4.9 13.40

From my humble experience the carrera will monster the skyline at the very last moment, they have very high mph for some unknow reasons,

Also 2 average drive in the 2 cars mentioned, the skyline will win around a track.

2, experience driver in the same 2 cars, the skyline, be lucky to see the porsche tail lights.

LOL...who cares, ill take the Porsce thanks:)

...but a modded GTST or GTR dont have too many problems against std Carreras at the track...but it depends so much on rubber and whether the Porsches have std exhaust / susp etc.

GT3s and GT2, 996 Twin Turbos etc are another kettle of fish...:D

A mates uncle has a 1996 Carrera 4 NA with exhaust, good rubber, modded comp and intake mods.

I have given him a few highway runs and can walk away from him with about 250kw@wheels easily. The porsches have great top end tho but I am usually 2 far ahead for him to catch me.

I am trying to get him to come to the next sandown or philip island wang day.

I disagree.

The Porsche is much more tractable than the skyline and the chassis, brakes and suspension are second to none.

I have a mate with a 996(911) Porsche. I had at the time a Supra with 280kw@wheels(running 285 tread) which is much quicker and handles better than a GTSt. I found his car so much easier to drive fast because the traction and handling were amazing.

It's just my though on the car, and my mate didn't have one, but I did, a 2004 carrera 4, also I currently have couple of skylines. I drive them all and knows their handling very well.

Try and put down 300+hp on a carrera on a negative camber apex is like ice skating with roller skates, you look good at first, but, it wont belong before you split your head open.

I've been around a few cars, that I think I can cast a fair judgement, but I would rate my driving ability as average. Where as you might be one of the better driver I'm talking about, and that your ability is actually better than you think.

straight line wise, i had a really good run with a previous model carrera (current model at the time) 2 years back when i still have my R33 (175rwkw)

20 - 16xkm/h is dead even. but rolling start again at 130 he beat me within seconds

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
