Ive searched and could not come up with any answers.

To cut a long story short speaking to a guy on another forum and he reckons that his vl running standard boost will beat most skylines??? is this true? i dont see how, with a vlt being 150kw standard and skyline being 187kw standard?

what is the deal?

Thanks,

Paradizzle.

Sorry if this has already been discussed.

Exactaly he is denial, and then some other fu*kwit comes into the argument and says his N/A keeps up with them. F*k some people are annoying.

LOL!

The r33 GTS turbo does 6.2, 0-100, 14.2 sec. quarters.

It would not take much to get a VL Turbo to smoke your average 33 in a straight line.

yeh ive own a vlt with high mount to4b,manual,forged motoe and shit,still running standard comp but will go very hard once run in.but anyway b4 it had all that it would never have beat a r33gtst as mates old one was faster for sure

i dont think its possible bcoz stock VLT does 15s. Maybe stock boost on modded VLTs?! My Vl makes 180rwkw-7psi - 245-14psi. Or stocky VLts with FMIC & 3"Exhaust+14psi, will do 13s with auto. that would keep up with lightly moded skyline

What exactly is the point of these XXX vs YYY threads? If you are asking what would run what stock for stock then sure but as people start bringing modifications into it the thread quickly turns to crap...

exactly. and even if you are asking stock vs stock, it wouldnt take long on the net to find out the stock factory performance figures for any pair of cars.

Sure vlts are potentially very quick, but as said once you bring mods in any POS can run 10's!

lets not get into POS's.

One final word from me...

The VL has absolutely hopeless torsional rigidity and very poorly sorted handling.

It is scary to drive as a stock N/A. Sad fact is that a VN is worse! Unless you dump money into a VL along with engine mods it's gonna be a shocker.

The R33 on the other hand has excellent body integrity - you can see with that huge box section between the back seat and the boot firewall.

Handling as bad as it is stock, is something that even modern Commodores are not really comparable.

Get it right Pete. With stock turbo running 3 bar boost mateeeeeeeeeeeee.

heheh Don't forget the stock injectors.

With regards to its regidity, I've had a VL in the past and it was stiffer than the VS I owned.

The pic I've attached.. What chassis rails. :)

The VL's are a nice car though, excellent for their time and long after.

Drop a FMIC a bit of boost in to them and they are up around the 180rwkw easily. They weigh in at around 1400kg's so very similiar to that of the R33 GTST.

Totally stock vs totally stock i'd give it to the 25GTS-T

Although neither are particularly fast in standard form.

Dont however under estimate the potential of the humble single cam RB30ET.

I got my old R31 to 340+rwHP a lot cheaper than I am atm with my RB26 ;)

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
