well technically if the "skyline" ie prince skyline didn't come around, DOHC engines wouldn't have been popular in japanese cars.

we'd all be driving around in the descendent of Isuzu Bellett GT-R's (came out 6 months after the first Skyline GT-R)... ie... Gemini's.

It was between a S8 FD RX7 and my GTR, so that makes the answer easy. I have had so many different types of cars not having the GTR to choose from wouldn't have mattered in the grand scheme of things, but the GTR is still my favourite car when it comes to driving regardless. :)

your cefiro wouldn't have an RB20 then... you'd have to do with a CA18i or some shit like that.

Thats based on the assumption that the RB range wouldnt have come along without the skyline. Hell if it wasnt for skylines they might have made a BETTER engine!

Damn it, you skyline people are bring my cefiro down!

lol i own a ceffy too. well the R31 brought the NICS RB engine around, along with the 200ZR Z31... then the ceffy's got an improved version (sorta like an R31 RB20DET with ECCS)... then the R32's got an improved version of the ceffy engine.

the price of right ahnd drive conversion alone! arghhh!

i gota buy the misses a yank tank stang anyways...

meh.. i bought the line for bang for buck.. ie.... the hole braking handling go package that didnt look fugly for my price range!

Im guess most will.. else id prolly be running around in an awd turbo econo box

Nice! i reckon you'd be able to fit an rb motor under that bonet! ;) might be a bit of a squeeze though.

now i think of it i wouldnt mind a series 8 rx7, i love the buzz from the 13b! :P

would probably go a 2JZ instead of an RB in that car, cause they use either 4AGEs or 2ZZ engines... so it would just be easier ;) IF it were to fit... would probably have to lengthen the chassis a bit...

Well I don't have a Skyline, but it would affect me as the RB30 would not exist.

Therefore the best engine ever to go in a Commodore would not exist, and Holden would've got the 3800 and placed it into the VL before the VN.

Oh the humanity. :P

Thank f*** for Nissan.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
