IMHO, it (like all aero pieces for GT-Rs) doesn't improve on the looks of the factory piece :

Please send me a PM if you have a rear bar that fits this description. Cheers.

33 GT-R's (in rwd mode) won't do that at 16+psi, so a GTS-t has no chance. Dyno Power Factor Correction has been fiddled with.

I guess that's why I got pushed up to the green group, the marshalls had to work the blue flags too much

Not a chance, Gwasshopper!

That means if I had been running on slicks, i probably would have been as quick as you in my 13y.o, non-vspec R32, on my first time at OP! ...or not.

Hmmm...Love that circuit, so smooooooth ('cept a bit of the north circuit), much more so than Wakefield and a fair bit of EC. Really, really makes me wanna go nutz modding the car to make it better on track days :sigh: Sorry if I distracted youse all with my flame-thrower! *LOL* If it's any consellation, my rear bar is f#@cked, hahaha. P.s Fatz- how much for a RB30 Silvia? That thing was a machine!!

Hmm...I should google that up, i guess. Did Toyota ever use the 7MGTE or 2JZ in the Japanese touring car championship? or did they need to stick with engines around 2.5L due to turbo equivalency regulations?

Yeah, Mona- Just use the 3L. Should suit your purposes fine. Over it.

For anyone who still cares: Nissan had the RB30 design from the mid 80's The RB26 came out in the late 80's They could have used the 3L engine in their soon to be all-conquering 'group A homologation' race special (ie R32 GT-R) Can anyone give me a coherent, logical reason why they chose to design an engine with 2568cc capacity rather than just use a twincam head on a balanced and strengthened version of an engine they already had- that was 2962cc?

*sigh* Oh dear...Seems I've offended the 'RB30 bottom end' crew. Gimp suit in the wash at the mo'. It's just regular old Shaun for today *LOL* Look,I'm sure an 3-3.1L RB with a twin-cam head can make lots of power and is great fun, and I know it CAN work very well (Wilall racing as an example, especially [yes, yes- that's an OS Giken kit]), and I didn't mean to step on the toes of anyone that's gone to the trouble of doing the conversion themselves. But I just don't think that using the 85mm stroke crank from an RB30 is the best idea for engine longevity/reliability at high engine speeds. But it's all relative. To be at the pointy end of 1/4 mile competition, you would be rebuilding/pulling down the engine on a fairly regular basis (in comparison to a mildly hotted up performance engine, anyway) to make sure everything was still o.k Like I mentioned in my original post 'ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL'- i.e rod/piston strength & weight, the shorter stroke engine will be able to rev higher, before mechanical limits come into play, due to the lower piston speed. More revs = more combustion cycles per unit time = more torque = more power (if the motor is designed/blueprinted for it) Yes, the 3L has more capacity (approx 66cc per chamber, wow), but, within this engine design, IMHO it's not as important as the rev limit of the motor with regards to how easily it makes big (v.big) power. Hope this clears things up p.s Wil- no more taking my posts out of Whoretown

Just look at the Drift Practice days. There is money to be made, so they're taking it. Call OP on 4646 1004 if you wan't to know for sure, or just come with the cash to spare.

Yes, he was from Oran Park. Spectators, bring $10-15 to get in or be prepared to be pi$$ed off. Oran Park is charging for people to watch small trackdays. You'd think they'd be (the track owners) more generous, seeing as they made around 800 million dollars selling the pastoral land the track is built on

Sif. Bring it, Bish. I stand by what I said. 3L bottom ends help ONLY with low end torque/tractability (good for general street use, yes) BUT The shorter stroke RB26 based engines are ALWAYS a better idea as out-and-out race engines, for all the reasons I mentioned and more. Need I remind you that the 3 fastest drag GT-Rs on the planet use 2.8L or smaller engines, with the HKS 33 using their own 2.8L kit (crank has 4mm more stroke than normal [77.7mm]) But I'm sure in your mind the 3/3.1L jobbies are better, right?

Racecars = Money pit. Good fun tho.

Things are about to get mighty expensive for old Steve-O *RoFL*

It's just a auction result archive.

Can't wait to buy a 3y.o old example in 2011 for around $130K *LOL*

Lots of gadgets/luxuries = Too much weight = Not in keeping with the point of a GT-R But, then again, 'GT' stands for Grand Touring, and freeways are very boring. Have a NextGen GT-R for long haul trips, and a highly modified, lightened R32/3/4 GT-R for fun, balls-out drives

I'll wait for the Bburago model Kthnx.

Same body shell they where testing next-gen GT-R mechanicals with months ago

..

Gottsta work this time 'round :

Any what about when the steering lock kicks in and you can't get it undone and you crash and die? (or worse, run into me) V.silly kids. Do not try in the real world.
