Mmmm - I don't think that statement is accurate. My mum also has a 2005 RAV4 Cruiser 2.4L 4 speed auto. The n/a R34 sedan is quicker in all aspects in comparison to the RAV4.

Apparently the n/a R33 (i've never driven one) are the real slugs due to not having variable valve timing and variable intake length manifolds, but I'm just going from what I've been told.

Would I say the n/a R34 is fast - No

Does it handle/brake well - Yes.

I've said this in another post, n/a R34's performance is on par with a relativly late model 4 cylinder Camry.

Any commodore from VN onwards will leave you behind from 80km/h onwards (rolling acceleration).

Anything under 80km/h the n/a R34 will do reasonably well - you just got to keep the revs up.

Auto will make it slower. Phils mums might be manual which will make it a bit faster.

Just saying

Dont the N/A R33's have VCT?

yeah they do.

otherwise it wouldnt only be R32 RB25DE heads that people rave on about for making 25/30s

Yep - Good point, I forgot to take that into account.

But in saying that the RAV4 is heavier by around 150kg and has less power to start with, also the AWD system would sap quite alot of power.

A Rav4 cruiser and a R33 GTS both do 0-100 around 9-11 seconds. ie. Slow.

The point of my comment is that non turbo skylines are as slow as any normal passenger vehicle. Hell a stock GTST is quite slow by todays standards.

Of course.

I came out of a 1.4L cubic so my NA 34 feels pretty good.

On the other hand my brother in laws got a 350HP evo 6, so if i compare the cube to the 34 its fast or compare to the evo to the 34 its slow.

as someone said before P Plates are just the turbo lag of life.
