I think a rotary would be even harder for the die-hard Nissan enthusiasts to stomach than the Chev.

Chev is easier to fit too... but the 20B would be awesome. I contemplated this too, but in my 180 :P
Both are pretty much hated :D

I used to own a few rotaries, and now have a nissan and an LS1. I just can't make up my mind! ;)

I would love to have a rotary for a race car!! It's on the list to own one day :) or is that a bucket list :P

:blink:

i thought you would like it john ! they are fantastic

please dont tell your time .... you probably went faster in the wet than me in the dry!! lol

actually would be really cool to see how fast you could punt one around oran !! i reckon high 1.15 with no mercy! which would be awsome !

Hehe we are going to organise for another time to have a drive in the dry. I will keep you posted. There computer upgrade gives it another 70kwatw :huh: 290+ standard and 360+ with the Haltech :blink:

see video of R33 GTSt with a 20B in it...

Also 350Z with 20B...

I would go V8 rather than rotary... swore to myself that if I destroyed the RB again it would be Nissan V8 time... with a big SC:)

I don't even need to click the first link to know that it's Pete's burgundy R33. It's a cammy RB and not a rotary - although it fooled a heap of people who watched the video.

***EDIT***

Farkin' LOL at the Youtube comments! Holy crap!

Haha speaking of engine conversions I was really considering at one stage to put an rb25 in the rx :thumbsup:

LOL...NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If that is your car in your post then keep the rotor in it. (oh and looks like a great FC by the way :thumbsup: )

RBs are big , heavy and lazy things, which work well in a Skyline...but. Hell i would say throw a V8 in the FC before an RB :)

I am holding out for R35 GTR V spec, just need sponsor or something or another minor miracle.

What about this car for track weapon? How about a 4wd carbon body, custom V8 with 2 x Hayabusa heads, dry sump, 420hp and only 500kg, awesome aero and very low height and centre fo gravity. Illegal for Superlap though.

Track Beast

they use chain drive from memory. :thumbsup: and it's a fairly light spaceframe, with super light body. and they use tiny very light diffs and I think inboard brakes too from memory.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
