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 ????

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.

      This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find

      I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
