Hondas piss me off, i have in the past had trouble beating some of these buggers and yet they can pay 5k for a VTEC and i pay 15k for my R34 and they are nearly if not gruntier, i know they have the power to weight factor on there side but still come on......... what do you think?

what type of honda are we talking about buddy

my brother drives a civis vtir and its slow as

my sister drives an accord vtir and its slow as

my aunty drives a integra type r and its ok

but u should be beating them in your 34 (im assuming its turbo) sorry just saw u r not turbo even still u should be beating civic and accord vtecs

now an s2000 thats a quick piece of machinery with like 175kw so i could understand them beating u anything alse but and i think it comes down to driver skill

^^hairdresser2000? no thanks.

ur gettn beaten by honda vtecs cause ur in heavier slower car. simple.

hi i didnt say i was getting beaten everytime, my skill is quite sufficent as my first car when i was 15 was a 351 xr falcon 67 and i have driven many a old school and quite a few modern japs, the point is that for the money you pay and the rep of the skyline i would assume that some 94 integras that are worth a smidging of the price are just as quick, maybe the Vtec is more supperior then the VCT the skylines have?

Yea you could say its heavier and slower... my mate had a 180sx with just the simple mods.. boost fmic and that but he was beaten by an integra type R... my suggestion to my friend being beaten is that he's a shit driver cos the 180 is just as light as the type R and he's got turbo...

Maybe STLKHR's R34 is auto and bone stock???

haha well yes it is a tiptronic but hey i get as quick or quicker gear changers then some, also it is realivty stock at the mo, but still out of the factory for both cars it would seem the Honda is still quicker. my one is a non turbo but i still got alot of torque !

a dc2r will run to 100 in 6.2 sec.......and in now way is that slow.

uve got a non turbo auto skyline. 'skyline rep' as u put it, is based on the turbo manuals, espeically th GTR's.

yes i agree but im stating that how can nissan charge a hell of a lot more money then honda for there cars, and yes i know one reason is that nissan is BETTER haha

Back when i had my 180 (sr20det, cat back exhaust, airfilter, 8psi) i had a dc2r with an exhaust keep up with me

The type r are pretty quick, they had no trouble beating stock 200sx/skylines etc

Once we do a few mods and wind up the boost they cant keep up but for what they are out of the box its fantastic

      NC MX5

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
