hi i do under stand that this is a skyline website and i my self have a skyline and it is my pride and joy

but just putting a hypothetical out there lets say that u were offered a R33 GTR for free stock and no strings attached

but then the person giving u the car says that for free they will put a V8 like the ford aluminum 4.8L DOHC or GM small block that is similar u get the idea

would u keep it stock or will u get the V8

this is my first poll so soz if i stuffed it up

Your saying that someone would actually swap the legendary rb26 for a GM or ford v8? does that include the 7litre ls engine they put in the corvette?

The new zr1 engine puts out 600+ hp so that wouls be my choice but if its just the crappy 5.7, 4.8litre engines then id rather the stock rb26.

lol stock r33 for sure haha

the V8 has to be a small block because in the real world a big block will be real hard to fit in a skyline

ford sell out of the box motors fully dressed with +500hp and it is a small block and good for daly driving

so the small blocks can put out a bit more power then ppl give them credit for

or on the other hand u can go with a RB26 which is still real good

If I took the LS2 from my 07 clubby and put it in a 33 gtr, I don't think I would be lacking in smiles when the foot goes down :) No doubt more response everywhere then stock 33 gtr with stock rb26.

if still 4wd, then v8. if not, then stock.

what makes you ask this? is it ever going to happen? bit random.... or are you thinkin of putting a V8 in one but too ashamed to admit it?

as a side note, someone up in sydney is building a VH41 (45?) power R32 GTR, still retaining the 4wd, with a couple of turbos thrown in for good measure. i think its performance metalcraft that are doing it..... cant remember now though

If the V8 can somehow be adapted to work with the ATESSA then I'd take the V8. Otherwise I'll stick with the RB26 and ATESSA (what good is lots of power without traction?).

fun thats what!

there are millions of r33's out there so do it, be different

some guy on boostcruising put a nissan v8 (not sure of the name of the engine) into his r33 it was doing low 12's from memory

RB26 all the way.

Thats the reason for turbo chargers, don't need all those Cubic Inches IMO.

And whatever top end you can achive with a V8, you can do the same with a 2.6lt Straight 6 Twin Turbo.

Thats how I see it anyway, I enjoy the feeling of the boost kicking and high reving cars.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
