Hey guys, i just compared "factory spec" 0-60mph and 1/4mile from R32GTR, R33GTR, R34GTR and I am shocked, could you guys help me justify this please!!

R32GTR 1430kgs

0-60mph 4.7s

1/4mile 13.00

R33GTR 1530kgs

0-60mph 4.9s

1/4mile 14.00 at 104 mph

R34GTR 1540kgs

0-60mph 4.9s

1/4mile 13.7s at 103.5 mph

I have always thought that the R34GTR is the fastest stock GTR excluding the R35 of course, but these specs shocked me hard, i own a 1993 R32GTR and always thought the r32gtr is the underdog, after seeing this... all i can say is wow.

Secondly, I would like to know if our skylines have a good chance of beating Holden commodore SS V8 (Stock Vs Stock)? some of them claim to have more than 270KW, however their factory 0-60mph is slower than 5s, could you guys help me clear this argument please.

cheers guys!

Firstly, the '270kW' from the Holdens is NOT at the wheels. With small mods most SS's are at 220-230kW, only when they get a cam are they looking at 270kW+ ATW. Secondly, yeah the 32 GTR has always been the fastest. Not a huge surprise though, it just has a better power to weight ratio than the the 33/34.

Weight is a huge issue, think of reducing weight as adding power. Commodores weigh over 1800kg, not including passengers.

Stock v Stock the GTR will f**king eat commodores.

Thats a bit short sighted when you consider drive-train losses of an AWD vehicle not to mention the tremendous amount of torque the SS has. I reckon it would be very close over the quarter. Don't get me wrong the r32 was king in its day and would most definitely wipe the floor with VR and VS SS commodores but its 20 years old. 270kw and 530 NM of torque is nothing to sneeze at and as hard as it is to admit it holden has come a long way in its development of the VE.

I'd love to see a race around a track between the 2.

Well come on out to the NSW production car champs. There are standard commodores (300kw, 6.0l), evos, wrxs, falcon fpv, and my poor old 20yo gtr running around.

The GTR has not been beaten in a race it started (I only did the first 2 rounds). http://www.ctcnsw.com.au/reports.php

We have 6 rounds next year between Wakefield, Eastern Creek and Bathurst.

As for 32 v 33 v 34 stock for stock.....each of them made 206kw and the 32 was lighter. Sure the factory spec 32 is quicker. Of course there is very little stock (or even if stock not in good original condition) still getting around these days.

go spend 50+k on a new VE commo, v8 6L blah blah watever you want to make it to be.

Or take your 50+k and spend buy a clean r32 gtr. for say 20k.... and go spend the 30k u got left on it in mods..... than see who comes out on top..... No matter how many people like to put shit on the old r32 gtr, for them being old and gunner blow up the second you put your foot into them, for the money you can pick them up for these days.... They will Never be beaten... especially by a Aussie built peace of crap wearing a holden or ford badge.

my 2cent : D

Is yours stock Duncan?

I believe this post started talking about a stock SS and a stock R32 GTR.

Stock vs stock i'd take the GTR.

Yes the new commodore's have more power and torque however they are also listed at 1700+ KG so 1800+ with driver. That means the power to weight ratio's are similar (6.94 GTR vs 6.3 SS). As the SS is RWD with a lot of torque, it will be much harder to get off the line and up to speed where as the 32 GTR can dial up 5K, sidestep the clutch and disapear without much of a fuss.

The SS will have a little bit more top end but it's got to have the right stretch of road or track to even utilise that advantage and then it will still have to pull back the gap the GTR has gained from getting off the line.

I had a wildly modified soarer in the past that made nearly 400rwkw and it would get slaughtered by GTR's all the time because it didn't have the room required to wind up. Mind you if it did get into 3rd gear on boost it'd be a different story, but it proved to me the point about having usable power.

Hey guys, what's going on in here?

OP: paper stats always fluctuate so they can only ever give you a ballpark to go by. Don't underestimate the SS Commodore...these cars get faster every model they release and the latest are no slugs. Remember that the GTR is always going to be a manual and consequently needs to be driven properly to obtain these 0-100 times, which will not be consistent for every run you do. SS Commodores for most part are auto and if you're taking on one in a drag, you will need something of a good launch because off the line is where the GTR is so fast. If you stuff this up or engage in a rolling drag, do not expect to win because you will run out of steam before the Commodore...particularly as 20 year old engines don't yield their factory power/torque anymore.

start rant/ Those last 2 are pathetic quarter times, and just proves whoever did them has no idea how to drive, only the R32 time is meh ok, the rest are a joke. The 34 got less mile aswell what a joke. Going buy those figures a WRX should keep up and close are you kidding me!!!/end rant

And why are you getting your info for a car that was never sold to the yanks from a yank website, those guys are just shocking.

After being in Duncans production race car... Those SS commodores DON'T STAND A CHANCE!

The amount of grip the AWD gives when driven in aggression... You could take 50KW off the GTR and it'd still wipe the floor with the SS... The RWD vehicles just CAN'T put the power down to be useful in going uber fast!

i find it hard to do the whole VS thing when you car puting a 1989-1994mod, up against a 2009model car..... hows there even a VS?

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
