hey all im in the middle of building a RB26 and am starting to strongly consider selling my 33 and purchasing an old nissan/datson.

was after some opinion of what to look into...

looking at a massive power to weight ratio.

i have thought of the obvious like 1600 and dato ute.. but is there any other wicked old skool cars out there???

and will it fit is prolly a good question..

i no some one has a 30det in a 240z

would love to put my 1000hp GTR engine into a Charger...C4 auto and massive rear slicks.

would run 8's at the strip.

Ive owned 6 Chargers in my younger days they are around 1100kg with the Hemi 6 in them...it would haul ass!!

Strawberry faced 180SX with an RB30 has always been a dream of mine

So have a 26 powered WB ute!

Strangly, I want to put a TT LS1 in a 33.

Would the engine fit into something crazy like a Navara or Hilux?

Gemini?

Van even?

I could on for days...

lol @ gemini, when i had my lil gem i was considering a ca18 swap, rb26 would be bad idea haha power to weight plus youd have to cut into the fire wall etc etc.

buy my gf's FTO and put it in that! doo it. :blink:

old school volvo 240.

That well get some :blink:

Road or drag?

Road some light jap car of your choice

Drag any muscle car that takes your fancy, but you would have been better off with a gen3 v8. Lighter with possibly more potential

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
