rb30 crank = shit according to the man building gtr-700 atm at croydon...iono if he wants me to spend 6-8g on a hks crank tho..

could be trying to get me to spend a bit...he said 26 crank is way better

and why is revving higher a good thing? more fricton, more heat, more stress

you dont need to rev the rb30 to 8 grand, thats the point of it.

you can make more power at less rpm, the ideal combination

Go drag your knuckles eleswhere barbarians. Take your slow revving tractor engines, grab your straw hats and flanno shirts and go tractor pulling...push over a few cows while your at it.

The RB30 has never won anything. The RB20 won the ATCC :starwars:

Other then rego and cost, is there a disadvantage...Oh Nissan didnt give it us as a std motor :)

Haha groundhog day for sure. Hey 2BNVS who built your engine if you dont mind me asking? I've been interested in one for a while now, just looking for someone who knows what they are doing and some prices.

ahhaha nice call, who calls 7000rpm high revving anyway, my vs commo almost does that :)

go the high revving engines anyday personally, much more fun when planting out of corners and its hitting the limiter almost str8 away at 9000rpm+ :tongue:

checkout the supra vs mines gtr video and compare the revvy nature, and response/speed the rb26 hits redline compared to the supra 3L, no comparision ;)

sports engine vs torquey engine.

revs rule :(

yes revs rule so throw away these RB motors and fit a motorbike engine!!!! :yes:

Aaaaand (for Roy) there are plenty more bike engines with far more winning pedigree than any rb motor :P

RB20s do suck. I was in a a car with an L28 and it would blow the doors off my car, how old are they again. :confused:

I often wonder what the R32 GTSR would have been like if Nissan didnt invest so much money in the GTR to go Touring Car racing. Would it have had the GTR panels (alloy) with an evolution of the RB20, ie the GTRs solid lifters,6 throttle bodies etc? And kept it rwd to be in line with earlier Nissans which were light, mid power cars... Its a shame they built the thing to go Grp A racing, as i understand that if the capacity had exceeded 2.6L then it woudl have meant either a boost restriction or weight penalty...thats from a grey memory so dotn quote me on that.

I sit back and wait for the new GTR, a car that Nissan/Renaoult are building for a market, not racing. I suspect of the R32 wasnt for racing it would have used an engine bigger then 2.6L

As for talk about RB30s beign truck engines, its kinda funny. You look at M3s, some of the greatest 6 cylinder engiens gettign aroubnd, you read the reviews of its revvy nature etc...yet ppl seem to think dynamically the RB30 cant rev ????

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
