wrong, shells are all the same they just hand cut moonroofs in the other models and use bamboo chutes for extra rigidity. except for the fact that the itr was BUILT in japan and shipped over so utes super mage jdm! </TD></TR></TABLE>

assuming you are kidding??

anyway, extra seem welds on the shell, as well as certain mounting points (suspention, etc) being strengthened. i'm not on my home comp.. i have the detailed info there. the shell is much different than a regular one.
also, did anyone mention LCAs? i guess that was included in "five lug", etc.
different compound in brake pads.
larger brakes.
different calipers (?)
different shocks/springs

maybe these have all been mentioned. dunno. at work.. brain.. fried...

 

This thread is officially back from the dead.

Anyway, care to elaborate upon the extra seem welds? I always heard of this, is this simular or the same as 'stitch welding' a frame/shell/unibody?

 

There is almost no "H-T" flaming in this thread. Cats included. Oh my what is it all coming to?

 

There is no special welding

Difference in physical frame is the following

-Rear wheel housing
-rear pillar upper garter
-rear roof rail upper
-rear wheel arch extension
-rear lower arm bracket
-rear damper gusset


type R loses (for weight reduction)
-sunroof (duh)
-vanity mirrors
-cruise control
-rear wiper (97 anyway)
-dashboard insulator
-transmission mount
-driveshaft and shifter dynamic damper
-melt-sheet for the floor stamping

Hey! You forgot to mention the map lights!

 

Not in the book

nsxtasy - has anyone actually scanned in the technical resource book?

If not, I'll scan it in. We could end SO many type R "difference" threads.

 

I would like to see this Type R resource book.

 

"Loses a transmission mount?" Can anyone explain this?

 

Sorry to burst any bubbles but the Nissan Pulsar VZ-R N1 special output 210bhp from a 1.6L using Neo VVL technology in their SR16VE. They were kings of the highest output per liter until the s2k rolled off the manufacturing line.

 

Integra GSR is a DC2 chassis you moron it has more in common with a type R than a DC4 ( ls/gs/se ), its people like you that make me want to get out of the honda scene

 

Ok smart guy. Tell me the differences in sheet metal between an LS and a GSR? Last I checked a RS, LS, GS, SE, GSR all had the same sheet metal. Niether of them have ANYTHING in common with an R chassis. Its people like you that spread misinformation trying to be an Ethug that do a big disservice to this place. You obviously don't have a clue what you are talking about, so have a seat Jr. or better yet take your own advice and go ahead and get out of the scene. LOL.

 

about 8 grand

 

sure, I'll scan it next week


It explains EVERY difference between the Type R and GSR with cool diagrams etc.


Are you sure it isn't already online somewhere?

Has anyone seen it before?

 

Yes, you can find it here.

If that's the case then they've still got the S2000 beat: 240hp/2.0L = 120hp/L for the S2000. 210hp/1.6L=131.25hp/L for the Pulsar.

 

I am amused by the answer to the poor and confused OP.







fail.

 

I've always heard 197bhp for the Nissan Pulsar VZ-R N1. Where did you get 210bhp from? I can't find that figure anywhere online.

 

ORLY? Why do I feel dumber reading your post? Im guessing you still live in Mommas basement? I dont need to read a link. Your post is enough.
Again, RS, LS, SE, GS, GSR = a diffrent chassis than ITR. The DC2 chassis code just sayswhether it is VTEC or not.

ITR chassis differences


Now you tell me. What is the same there? What's in common? Next time you try and dispense some knowledde it might help if you knew what you where talking about instead of talking out of your ***. You have established that you are good at that already.
