hmmm does anyone know if Type R integras pull hard? my mate said he nearly got done by one and he has a R33 gts-t.  The integra was the new model one. (with the copy cat skyline lights at the back)

the new type R's will give any stock 33gtst a run for their money. i was just under a car length ahead in mine till i put it in third and we stopped there at 80. was no point goin any faster on public roads and we had fun even though it lasted a couple secs. much respect to the new type R.

AWD is available in the US and kicks most nissan and other  :Oops: butt.

Hey, I own a Starion as well. :D

contray to popular belief overseas..

the DSM cars are not all what they would appear to be.

sure, they have 4WD and a turbo inline 4 based off the 4G63.

and unless you get a turbo upgrade (which can cost thousands here) your DSM is not going anywhere. true, lots of boost on the stock turbine is good too, but it can only take the car so far. the size of the turbo is what i'd call tiny (with the housing, it's only about as big as a CD). on a side note, the 2nd gen DSM uses a T25 turbine.

the engines also have their fair share of problems, mainly crankwalk (which occurs in 2nd generation DSMs). crankwalk is when the crankshaft moves out of place naturally, perhaps due to an engineering miscalculation ? this basically renders the engine as junk.

i don't have much faith in these cars, they're ugly, they've been riced out, and they're heavy as $#*$ too. it'll pull on me in a 1/4mile, but from a rolling start; it doesn't stand a chance. my friend's EG civic with a b16a(cable clutch version too)with bolt-ons can outrun an equivalently modified Eclipse GSX (turbo 4wd model) from a rolling start.

(on a side note, i think i would've rather had chosen the FTO GPX over the Eagle Talon/Mistubishi Eclipse...but then again, on paper, it looks very much like a Honda Prelude with a 2000cc V6 as opposed the Prelude's 2200cc inline 4.....and good god, don't even talk about Preludes)

and on a side note:

i haven't driven, let alone even seen a Skyline or FTO in my life..but, i already know the easiest answer to the thread starter..you got burned, simply because the FTO had an advantage over you:

-less weight (still less than you and your sister...even when he has a full car load)

-doesn't the FTO rev higher...i remember seeing somewhere online that it peaks right before 8000rpm

-it was probably heavily modified, i've seen/met up with plenty of cars like that in Canada....you think they're slow, then they show their true potential (stock looking MKIII Supra turbo making 630rwhp) and it leaves you scratching your head...or at least feeling like an idiot for even trying to race.

Man i don't know why all your N/a are so slow.

ive got a 1994 GTS25 5 speed, all that i have done to it is K&N filter, when i got it, it had a exhaust and thats all that i know of. no extractors. its got 4ws and a LSD.

and i am yet to loose a race to a V6 commodore or falcon.

ive raced 3 r32 GTS-t got to about 120km/h and i was 1 1/2 car lenghts in front of them.

raced a 5L VN Calais with extractors and exhaust and left him about 1 car lenght behind me as soon as i got out of second.

ive raced a BA XR6 N/A same as above.

on a cold day me car does 0-100km/h in anywhere form 6.5- 6.9 seconds. thats if i change gears on time.

Pffft I could take Falcodores in my Twincam Corolla.

The R32 GTS-t's must have been piloted by corpses if you beat them.

BA XR6...too fat and slow to even try to be fast.

The only waty your gts could keep up with a V6 commodore if the commodore wasnt even trying. There is no way in hell that you could beat a R32 gts-t in a gts. In your dreams it doesnt count.

and you probably measured your 0-100 on a timer that stops at 6 seconds and couldnt go any further.

:bs!:

mate own a EK4 with full exhaust (4-1 mainfold, high flow cat, cannon exhaust) and run 16" TE37.

I run him a while ago and suprise me how quick a N/A 1.6 car can be.

rolling start in second and at the time i change into 3 he still manage to keep his car in about 1 car lengh behind.

i "think" it will eat the FTO & N/A gts.

sure the type R is even better.

The Jap spec new Type R (DC5R) is faster than DC2R in both straight line and track

      Pre-empting heat management  1. The Kraken manifold will be ceramic coated 2. Just purchased some peel and stick heat shielding stuff from car builders, I'll cover some of the firewall behind the dump and a little on the cam cover, this will be done prior to installation as I have ample room to get where I need to now before that realestate has more bits in the way, I'm also planning to modify the OEM heat shield to go back on, but that won't happen until after installation so I know where to hack it up, I'll also cover it with some some peel and stick to neaten it up after the hacking 3. As the dump is stainless with a flex joint coating isn't really a option, and wrapping isn't recommended for a stainless dump, so once it is installed I'll grab some shielding from car builders to cover the dump, as it has some stand off, it "shouldn't" cause any issues and it "should" just keep the radiant heat away from " melty engine bay stuff" Not for heat management, but I've grabbed some more black crinkle coat to paint all the shiny intake pipes, I'll pick the pipe work up prior to installation and use the paint booth and big oven at work to cure them, I'll then wrap them with some bubble wrap so they stay nice during installation

      a31 chassis pinout/cluster wiring layout

      By imonpcp · Posted

      YO- have been searching and searching for an a31 chassis plug pinout, or someone who knows which wire is for tach.  ceffy was flooded past dash during a hurricane.  having an electrical gremlin appear. tach is wonky reading consistent with a short, and on occasion the right side of my speedo lighting will flicker just for a second then go back to normal.  if no pinout available does anyone know if the tach harness opens or branches anywhere behind the dash? im suspecting a possible root behind the radio as there are more shorts in that area on the accessory loop.
