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

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
