West, you're just like one of those fobby asians who still thinks that Honda's are really fast because of the V-tec engines. HAHAHA.

Trust me i know because im asian myself and i know how asians think.

Bahahahaha I couldnt agree more...stupid FOB's

Maybe you're right lol but let me define myself, i've NEVER OWN a Honda. OK i trust you so do we go and buy a honda now sir?

yeah, lets go and get a piece of shit front wheel drive Honda (formula 1 inspired technology here, like how their ad says) deck it out with a sound system, body kit and skyline wannabe rear lights and drive around with RNB music on full blast like some African American wannabes! hahaha. Typical fobs!! AHahaha.

Anyway seriously, i do agree with you in some part about the inline 6. I6's are easier to mod because there is more room on either side of the engine and they do sound better than V6's. But at the end of the day, you have to admit that the VR38DETT is a far superior engine to the RB26 period.

And while many manufacturers are moving to V6's, I can assure you BMW will not as is one of their trademarks. I think my next car is going to be a BMW 335i.

In time even BMs will give the old straight 6 the flick too.

Hmmm, I'm also tempted. I'm thinkin a 2 year old 335 coupe, add some big brakes, a set of Recaros, wind in some power, and go humilaite some V8 M3's :D

My dads got one. You really wouldn't need bigger brakes, and they go really good, but yer I would be flashing the ECU pretty quick. Some people are making good power gains with nothing more. I'm hoping to buy my dads in about a year hehe. Hopefully he will sell it cheap to me, and I know he never thrashes it.

I don't own Hondas, i don't like them BUT at the same time i won't bag them. At the end of the day, they run in FORMULA ONE and Nissan don't and Renalt is not Nissan.

That sir we'll have to wait.............

Lets put this on the table now fellas - what's the real difference between an inline 6 and a V6? Performance wise, wouldn't the V6 make more torque?

In theory that is.

What theory, who's theory?

There is nothing, NOTHING inherent in a V6 engine that would allow it to make more torque than its inline counterpart.

theory basically goes like this from what I understand

V6 = compact, not perfectly balanced, easily mounted in the dimensions of a car's engine bay

I6 = LONG, perfectly balanced, difficult to mount

thus most companies are opting for V engines because they are much easier to build , with larger capacities that can meet emisions and better safety outcomes. It is far more complicated than this (for example I engines have problems with the length of the crankshaft) but is a pretty good summary I think.

I6 engines make heaps of torque, but they are typically compared with much larger capacity engines because of the relative size of the blocks (2.6 litre vs 3.8 litre).

The inline-6 in Ford's F6 Typhoon makes 550nm of torque out of 4L displacement. That's more than any production engine to ever come from Australia. Even Ford US shat when they saw it.

The VR38 with 3.8L makes 587nm of max torque. There are many engine architecture factors that would contribute to torque figures, but these numbers say a lot for the inline-6 i'd say.

Look I hate vee sixes as much as the next bloke, but there is a little more to it than just saying they are not perfectly balanced. It depends on their vee angle. Ever wonder why people produce 60 degree angled vee sixes?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
