At what rpm... I am willing to bet the rb20 has more torque at high rpm and the sr.

rb20

Max power 158kW @ 6400rpm

Max torque 265Nm @ 3200rpm

sr20 (from a s13)

Max power 151kW @ 6000rpm

Max torque 274Nm @ 4000rpm

the sr has more torque at higher rpm. and it is only the peak power of the rb20 that is higher. they are probably pretty close in power at 6000rpm where the sr flattens off and the rb keeps going for another 400rpm.

I wasn't really expecting a response. lol :D

I wasn't actually thinking about peak torque rpm but rather the torque made at the rb20's peak power.

In order for the rb20 to hold its power at a higher rpm it will be making more torque at high rpm than the sr.

So 'generally' better suited to constant high rpm use.

As we know low/mid range torque makes the car really nice to drive on the street and is great for drift.

'Generally' the rb20 with its short stroke holds its power for longer after peak power is made.

This is especially usefull for those corners where third is too long and second is just that little too short.

But yes.. as I said I didn't intend on it to become a disussion.......................................................................

<bhdave how many dots?>

......................I dont care who is quickest, it will be fun to line up the cars and have a laugh at GTR owners munching gearboxes, R32 GTSt owners crying about nursing gearboxes and R33 owners complaining about wheelspin the whole track with only 180rwkws :)

soo true there.

but then it brings up the question or problem is it better to put an rb25 gearbox in an rb20 powered car, or put and rb25 engine in as well or just fark it and but an r33 and put an r32 shell over the top. might be a good idea if you have the money :S :D

People who put RB25s in R32 GTSts are the same sorts of people who would sleep with their girfriend's mates. If you put an RB26 in it, at least you have the excuse that she is a good sort :P

;)

I guess the euphamism for sticking RB20's in S13 chassis would be along the lines of being the same sorts of people who like dating their mates 40year old mum.

She goes given enough poke, but she's high maintainence, bit creaky and it's easier to just slip it to the dopey 20year old daughter who's 2 short of a six pack but the job done. :D

cant afford the latter but considering the first - since you guys know what you are talking about it - question:

do they bolt strait in?

(i have r32 gtst and have had to pull gearbox out 3 times now so starting to think about options)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
