everyone needs to lay off on the racially sensitive remarks no matter how narrow minded and stubborn bkc appears to be.

I actually like BKC. he is a good addition to the forum, and challenges me ot understand google translator better every day.

he certainly is good value and adds character to the forum.

i don't think he's using a translator all the time either BB, some of his posts contain common grammatical errors. sometimes they are just as bad as other forum members. ;)

Hello .

Are there opinions, or information which is the best RB26DETT or VR38TT OR is still too early for such a comparison !!!??? ;)

Thanks ALL :(

hi,

all engines are, in the end judged on how they do the 'job' for which they were designed. the RB26DETT was designed to curb the dominance of the European engines [porche,ferrari,BMW etc] in Gp1 type racing. this it did very successfully. so by that measure it was a very good engine; it has the 'runs on the board'. it is the heart of the Godzilla legend and it created a cult following around the world. it is a famous engine. the new VR3.8 is designed to compete with the super car engines of the world and on paper, it looks competitive/impressive. but it is still only 'on paper' so in my opinion, it has a lot of hard revs to do out in the real world before it can be compared with the RB26.

let's have this discussion in five years time; if the new engine has created a global cult following, if has been given it's own mythical reptillian designation and doesn't meekly take the Godzilla label to gain undeserved 'street cred', then it will have drawn level with the RB26. now to get past the RB26, I think most will agree, is going to take some pretty serious motoring.

having said that, I have just returned from Japan where I made a point of going to a presentation of the new RB35 and later to the Nissan showroons to view the six new colours. for those that are not impressed with the car after seeing only photos I suggest you wait untl you see it in the flesh; this is a seriously beautiful and muscled-up car. also sat down and watched [in the showroom] the video of the car's Nurrburgring trial; powerful!!.

regards

Sorry for the long post.

RB26dett:

Sand cast iron, closed deck engine block

As already stated inline 6 (&V12) engine layout has perfect balance, and is even firing.

Some inline 6 engines do have torsional vibration problems due to length of the crankshaft, but this can be overcome with good design.

VQ35de

High presure die cast alloy, open deck engine block with cast iron cyclinder liners.

60 degree V angle. A 60 degree V6 in even firing (unlike a 90 degree V6 which needs splayed crankshaft journals in order to be even firing)

But a 60 degree V6 still has end to end vibration.

for more info on this try http://www.autozine.org/technical_school/engine/smooth1.htm

The open deck engine block is weaker than a closed deck engine block. However VQ's have been reliably boosted, proving how strong this design can be if designed and manufactured properly.

High pressure die cast engine blocks can also sometimes have problems with porosity.

VR38dett

What we know:

alloy block, plasma coated alloy cyclinder liners

95.5mm bore, 88.4 mm stroke

The engine could be a VQ35hr (or VQ40de) engine block with different liners and rotating assembley.

Or

As stated the engine is said to be based on the racing engines.

Modern racing engines tend to use the lost foam casting method. This method is very accurate with complicated shapes, is consistant and parts tend to have better finish than sand casting (also no chance of a stray sand particle going though your oil system) Lost foam also has the advantage of lower tooling investment, allowing production to be more flexible.

So if the engine really is based of a racing we are talking about a very very VERY serious piece of kit.

BRING IT ON

Cheers

P.S. I do also mourn the end of the inline 6. L28 with twin SU's and extractors sounds soooooo horny

thats funny, Edwin happens to know a few things, and one of them things Edwin knows is, its how many cams you have in your engine, it how you race your coor.

you better learn that......

granny shifting and not double clutchin like you should

you're lucky that 100 shot of NAWWWS didn't blow the welds on the intake.

now, me and the mad scientist gotta go rip apart the block...and replace the piston rings you FRIED

P.S. I do also mourn the end of the inline 6. L28 with twin SU's and extractors sounds soooooo horny

I too mourn the loss...though the idle coming from my Triple SU'ed holden 202 with a nice big solid cam makes me get over it soon enough =D

Now if I can only get the torry registered ....

Thank you for your reply

YES This is the correct and proper response.

RB26DETT is the best at least for the time being!! Wait and see what the outcome will be the new engine VR38DETT!! Will be seen in the near future!! :P

Thanks aLLL :rofl:

No the V series have already outdone the RB in terms of making outright power, ~2000hp as been made on drag VQ35s. Heat Treatments in NZ *WERE* going to run the motor from the GTR in their 350Z but with research decided that the VQ was a better motor, and they've pushed an RB further than anyone. A stock standard R35 GTR has already hit the dyno and made power which you basically need a cammed, forged, aftermarket twin turbo etc etc RB26 to make which feels gives you a quite laggy car - VR38 looks like its just yawning the power out.

Fish coffee has packaging DVD ticket, so bunny banana rain really is speaker. Your shed, grass, 4cam 50 cam 600 cam. Grinding at 19000RPM and making turds at the same time.

Thanks aLL

hahahaha 350z made for drift loooool you can see DVD SHOCK ENGINE 350Z from japan((350Z COMPLETE SHOCK)) !!

I AM SURE YOU ARE MEAN 350Z COMPLETE AFTER MARKET, BODY ! CHISSIS! ENGINE ! TRANSMISSION .etc .

VR38DETT WILL BE SAME 350Z BUT WITH SOME THE DIFFERENCE,,38 TWIN TURBO etc . lool !!!!

TRUST ME ALL !!!!!!!!!! >_<

Thanks aLL .............. :sorcerer:

everyone knows the rb26 is better cause only the rb26 can make a car go around a corner so fast, it starves the engine of oil. ruined bearings is solid proof.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
