S2000 Vs R33 Gts-t..


Recommended Posts

S2000 would be running in the high 14's there really would not be much seperating them. Credit to Honda they are a very highly tuned machine from factory. Unfortunately going faster really costs big $ in the Hondas. most people who modify them usually end up going backwards. I have a good friend with an integra who just by fitting a full exhaust picked up 3 kw from 7000 rpm to redline. Unfortunately under 7000 rpm he lost 5 kw all the way.

So average power from idle to redline still comes as a loss

R33 though is SO much easier to improve power on however

I'm sorry but the S2000 will be quicker on the track and on the strip relative to an R33 GTS-T...an R33 GTR on the other hand is much more of a contest :P (assuming both are stock of course)

yeah it depends on who u talk to........

if you talk to a random skyline owner.......

obviously hes gonna stick up for thier car......

same goes for hondas.......or if you ask in a honda forum............

well the thing is..........s2000 are BRUTAL for a non turbo 4 cyl........and they are reknowned for that

and on the other hand the GTS-T are really nothing to sing a song and dance about... there isnt really anything special about its performance..... for e.g the simiallar induction/CC car i can think of is the Toyota Chaser.... its also a 6cyl 2.5 with a 1JZ-GTE engine (which are reknowned to be one of the BEST inline 6's in the world) & single turbo, RWD but only comes in auto......

those things do LOW 13 SEC!!!! and i think are actually heavier than skylines.

anyhow getting back to the figures....

i think its a close call......the HOnda Runs a 176KW @ the motor stock ...and im pretty sure the GTS-T is also around 176 - 178KW @ the motor stock.....

but a BIG difference in weight there.....

and the extra Nm of torque.......on the GTS-T may or may not make up for it.

I currently own a Civic Type R, and while V-TEC Hondas are pretty quick, they achieve their power with very high rev limits, and relative to any turbo motor, they have no torque whatsoever.

The upshot of all this is, they are very quick in the right gear and at the right revs, but not as user-friendly for real-world driving and for modifying. If I wanted to run an S2000 in an R33, I'd make it a rolling start and wait till he's in 3rd or 4th and catch him on the hop lol

yeah i hear ya dude

ive driven a Honda Integra Type R a few years ago.....

and mate.......what a SACK OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

such garbage really.....

sorry to offend honda fans......but its true.......HIGH revs is something you dont want....

some people think its a good thing but it really isnt......feels like a WORN CLUTCH!

ive driven a 200sx with a worn clutch and thats EXACTLY how the hondas felt.....

your always constantly having to gun it to the floor to even beat anything or accelerate ahead of anything

makes you eventually feel like your not running enough power to what your putting down........

anyways, i dont like V8s..and i would probably never buy one.......but id chose that over a Type R any day...

but in terms of S2000 of GTS-t...............id go the S2000......

its probably a tad quicker than the GTs-t...... but looks alot better and more original..where every tom dick and his dog has a GTS-t or GT-t or watever the GT.......

goin by http://english.auto.vl.ru/ ... and redbook.com.au

S2k = 176kw / 1260 kg (curb weight) = 139kw per tonne..

R33 183kw / 1370 (curb weight) = 133kw per tonne...

R33 has alot more torque (294nm), S2k has 208nm but it probably gets evened out with the added weight of the R33.. so stock for stock, i'd give the win to the S2K theoretically :P

im sure R33's are alot easier to gain power from compared to the S2k tho and R33's nowadays always have some kind of work done so it really would depend

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
