I pretended that i got really excited about the new GTR, i went on YouTube to watch it, i've got the Super GT version on my desktop, i told my GF, my work college, the guy that owns a Porka that i came across at the pub, i gave my mate with his 300zx shit because its a V6.........ect.

I don't really know about this V6 thing if not it sounds GAY to me, seriously. I've own 3 straight 6s for the last 10 years, 1 x 2.8lt 5ME Supra, 1 x RB25DET, 1 x RB26DETT BUT now the car that i like so much is equipped with a V6. Not only its a V6 but its now massive, i can put about 3 or 4 of my asian ass in and it still fit me fine :), oh and it doesn't even called a Skyline anymore :( so i'm going to buy an R34gtr and stick with it (not that i can ever afford the R35 anyway) :).

Sorry, just rant :banana:

Whats so "GAY" about an engine that is years ahead of all those you've mentioned and in stock form leaves all those you mentioned for dead? So i suppose an F1 "V"10/8 is gay, or the "V" engines in otehr supercars are gay?

I can understand people bagging the styling, interior etc, but seriously how you can bag the R35 on performance is beyond me - weight included.

Keichi Tsuchiya (the Drift King) said in a YouTube Time Attack video that he's always loved inline 6's for how they make power, and is regretful that companies in the 21st century are now reverting to V6's because they are more compact.

I prefer inline 6's but that's cause they blew me away. If i drove an R35 i'm sure i'd love V6's too.

That said i think the RB is nicer sounding and makes power more aggressively than the VQ. But stock for stock the VQ is more advanced, and the VR is well above them all re technology.

Sadly for the thread starter- you just have to accept the times, inline-6's are old tech and will be appreciated like an old burly Mustang, but they're superseded. :banana:

Research has shown that V6 platforms provide better weight distrubution and power delivery.

For example...the bugatti veyron, it uses a W16, you wouldnt use a straight 16...

harsh and maybe irevelant comparision but hey..The future is V6.

The RB26 will always be king in my book.

You meant a stock Z will leave a stock gtr for dead or a stock commo v6 will leave a supra 6 for dead?

I'm sure nissan or someone can "exhaust tune" the v6 to sound good. My problem with thr 35 is "WEIGHT!!!!!!" I run out and buy one tomorow if it weight in around 1400-1500kgs but not at the luxo sedan numbers.

Honestly i was waiting in the wing to buy one when it got released, only to find out the weight was heavier than a school bus..

I owned an Audi RS6 for 3 years and it weights in at 1800 odd kgs with 350 odd kw and I can tell you the car was fun to drive and fast from A to B but doesnt matter how much I was in denial of the weight issues until you have to make sudden direction changes. The law of physics comes in and reminds you that you have some beef under the seat...

I'm still hoping some how nissan will deliver a "stripper" version even with same power levels, I'll still be happy, but not ATM all the years waiting for nothing.

The sound issue would be overcome pretty easy in my mind, be just as sexy, just different, like a hot brunnette or blonde.

the only thing your indial about my friend is your sexuality....you love the cock

Stop thinking about C**K Troy ROFL,

You love it too much where you're having this illusion that everyone else loves it too ROFL. Regardless i think you should sell me that GTR of your for dirt cheap since its sitting there collectiong dirt anyway :banana:.

You've gotta drive it before you write it off like that. It certainly does not feel it's weight.

yeah i would have prefered an inline 6 after owning a 260c inline 6 and now my GTR 32 as well. ive always responded to commo people screaming v6 is better than inline6 with "i like to keep things straight" :banana: would the car have been that different if it was a 3.7L inline 6

but at the end of the day whatever makes the better peformance is more important than keeping with tradition. and part of the tradition is kicking more expensive cars ass's

C'mon West, you mean the inline L26 carby from my old skyline C210 is better than the V6 from my V35?

You were complaining about the R35 GTR being a V6 so I was comparing the inline 6's you listed to the R35 V6.

You can't compare a stock Z with a stock GTR RB26. One has two snails and one has none.

If you look at the APS twin turbo set up for the Z it pretty much is what you would expect a stock twin turbo Z out of Nissan to look like. Now compare that with a "Stock" RB26DETT. A VQ with stock internals with this set up gives you a safe 380odd hp at the wheels on around 8psi. All this in a set up with almost zero lag.

Guess i'm a little biased driving a "V" and all. :banana:

But in all seriousness it's the way cars are going like it or not. Even the M3 is no longer an inline 6 and that motor was pure performance.

Sorry i was refering to the Z32 and the R32 but anyway.......its today's technology thing.

I didn't bag the R35 performance neither the new Z, i just personally don't like the V engine, simple. I know the in-line 6 is old but i like it :( .

I know where your coming from. Its probably because when someone says a v6/v8 u think of a crappy commodore engine.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
