From memory I think it is bigger than R32 ha ha I remember the pistons being bigger than my head and each cylinder has the same capacity as an RB26!

Lets just put a wheel on each corner of the block and sit in the valley between the heads, would be funny to see an engine with wheels do a 10 second pass crossing the line at 3200 rpm

My Dad used to build/maintain diesel trains years ago. He reckons you could crawl through the bores.

The ones he used to work on were the long-distance haulage ones, and had (from memory) twin turbo, supercharged 200 litre V12 or V16 diesels, making around 5000hp and something ridiculous like 30,000Nm. These days they're measured in MW (1000kW = 1 MW) lol... took 10 minutes to start because the flywheel weighed 11ty billion tons, idled at 50 rpm and redlined at 900rpm or something.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
