R33 smoked by s13 & s14?!

[cowboyb]

Hi all,

I've been hearing alot about how modified R33's get smoked by the silvias and 200sx (semi modified) due to their better "power to weight" ratio. For example, this s14 owner that I know has only got full exhaust and air pod, and says that he's eaten many R33 Gts-t at the lights..

Tell me this is not true!!! Has anyone taken out the SR20DET using a semi-mod R33?

Most will depend on the driver, but just cause you got an extra 500cc doesn't mean your gonna win. Some of the Silvia's and 180SX's are damned fast, I 've beaten my fair share, but every now and again I get my ass kicked.

It doesn't matter in the end, just keep spending money till your quicker than everyone.

See'ya:burnout:

Yeah right. I'm sure many many many 32/33/34's here will smoke the hell out of sr20 cars...

[franks]

ask them for rolling starts

a decent driver in a S13 or S14 or S15 will be extremely hard to beat...

[Morgs]

It really all comes down to driver skill....

I know of a SR20 S13 that has run 13.2sec pass with Exhaust, filter, intercooler - stock turbo. There are plenty that get low to mid 13s with that sort of setup. They don't need alot of power to get them moving.

Morgs,

I agree, I think they have a weight advantage over us R33 owners, and I know many doing flat 13's with stock turbo, not bad "bang for your buck".

I agree, with the amount of $$ I'd spent on my skyline, I could have just bought an S13 and used the leftover $ to max out the stock turbo...sigh.

Although, the R33 looks alot phat-ter compared to the old looks of S13!

How about WrX? Anyone had much experience dragging these 4wds?! Cant imagine it being too easy...

Ok. i owned three of the above cars. the s14 sr20 with pipes and boost will leave a stock or piped r33 dead in it wake. and the rex i'm driving atm have a vf22 with pipes , fmic & computer will send a boosted gtr to it grave, but then my r33 gtst has a t76 rb26 and computer. The sound of external wastegated skylines is unforgetable. So it not how fast the car is, it's how far are the mods.

i agree, its all money, and theres always hidden mode that people dont tell u about....id take my 33 over any 200, and especially over an s13 silvia..i personally think those cars lick balls, they r for people who want a good turbo car but can only afford the crap one my advice is keep saving, dont waste hard earned money on a crap car, sure u might have money left over for more mods but down the track u could have done that to the skyline....and have a quicker...better lookin..better all over car

personal opinion but i stand by it!

ps. pet hate - all those non-turbo s13's with an exhaust too big 4 their car starring and tryin to race me...then realise they got mauled....

i used to own a sylvia and then i bought a gts4 (4wd coupe) r32 and never looked bak all s' series nissan are drift cars if u want preformance and speed dont like past a skyline 6 cylinder 2 litre 4 wheel drive come and catch me!~ see ya at the 11's 100% SKYLINE!

[inark]

eeew silvias... cant stand em... theyre ugly (s15 not so much) and only 4 cylinders... thats enough to put me off.

nothing beats the agressive lines and looks of a line... imo

wrxs all come down to whos driving them... my r32s pretty average in specs but ive beaten a few WRXs (looked stock apart from exhaust) but wouldnt even bother taking one on with a FMIC or an STI cause i'll get eaten alive at the moment i even had a drag with an Audi TT the other day and beat him down.

keep in mind most of the ppl in wrxs and tts are generally mid life crisis (male menapause - speeeeling was always my weak point ) balding suits who have driven nothing but auto statesmens and bmw 318is

[cereal]

I'm gonna be laying waste to the skyline set in my new 4 cylinder weapon......

[jtir]

Given the same small mods such as airpod and exhaust done to both cars the same.

I'd say it come down to driver skill.

But I do believe the SR20DET is quicker of the mark due to the less amount of weight that needs to be moved.

So don't be surprised if a Silvia smokes your ass :shake:

[cowboyb]

i think when it comes down to drags, given exact mod on both cars (say...s14 vs R33), it looks like the s14 will win.

But then, I like the look of the R33!

Thank god I got myself the R33 and not an s14!

Better start working on my launches....

[rev210]

same driver in them:

Silvia's waste skylines over the 1/4 -- power to weight.

Hungry 6 : Rhino's 'boosted' only R32 GTR ran a 12.4 at the plex the other night. VF22 equiped WRX's would have troubles getting that close, let alone high 11's like a number of R32 GTR's are capable of with 1 bar and cam gears.

ive been smoked by a torana lol nothing surprises me til i find out how much these idiots spent on their cars and all i end up saying is... "yeah but its still a *insert name of some substandard car with more money spent on the engine than the car is worth*"

[hungry6]

currently there are atleast half a dozen vf22 running about s.e qld running flat 12 ats or simmilar. anyway i'm bit over older cars waiting for my new v8 twin turbo 4wd from audi

[PranK]

my 180 in stock trim was quicker than my R33 in stock trim... the 180 really takes to mods a lot better than the R33 did as well.

[JET-33]

hmmm, im not sure who ta mechanic is but r33's are one of the best cars for mods..straight 6 turbo....very easy to make power out of

sr20det are good engines aswell though, they r capable of a lot, i take nothin away from them, but il take my r33 any day...soon to have mega power, once the wallet grows as always

[gtr13]

I have to agree with Rev 210 9 times out of ten a lightly boosted GTR will leave a WRX with front mount and vf22 turbo in its wake most rexs with these mods run mid 12 sec most GTR,s with a exhaust, filter and boost to 1 bar run flat 12 sec only a rex with a dog box with straight cut gears will hit 11 sec with a vf 22 sure there are a few "freak" wrx,s that run just into the 11,s but there are also freak GTR,s that will run mid 11 sec and chances are a wrx will destroy its gearbox if its running in the 12's anyway.
