i wonder if this will be as tuneable as the rb26

There will be alot more things that present a new challenge... The simple fact that it is now a V6 will make it more difficult to work on than an RB26... Hopefully it won't be a similar situation to 300ZX's

That said, I have taken quite a liking to the new GTR. It has grown on me alot since first seeing it :)

Why is a V6 harder to tune than an I6? Aside from the fact that its awkward to go for a big single turbo conversion?

That engine bay is a lot longer than the Z32's, and from the photos I've seen of the engine bay (damn it, pics are offline) its not quite as cramped as the Z.

The Z33 / V35 has room for twin turbos in an engine bay that was never designed for it, and I know of quite a few daily driven FI 350Zs that haven't had heat issues on the street, and only required an oil cooler for the track. The GT-R engine bay looks at least as big, assuming it is the same engine.

I said it would be harder to work on, Not Tune...

There will now be 4 cams, two heads, more piping... much of what an I6 has x 2 ......

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
