I have nothing against rotary engines, in fact I love them and the sound they make, but I have to agree with the whole 3.9L displacement argument as each rotor has 3 combustible sides to it for every one rotor revolution (not crank or eccentric shaft revolution).

Yeah that's true but only one side of the rotor get's used per revolution of the output (Eccentric) shaft so there for only 1.3 litres (0.66 x 2 for a 13B) gets used per revolution. You need to forget about the revolution of the rotor becasue everything is measured (RPM and Power) on the output shaft on every engine. You never see a piston speed gauge on your dashboard do you. It's like saying that the rotation of the cam shaft is vital to the running of a 4 stroke engine so really the redline of our nissan engines is really around the 3750 rpm mark.

what is this? i know its a drive shaft.. or is it drive shaft AND tail shaft....

it come out of teh vl with 20, so is it specific to vl rb20 or will it suit 25, 30, R31's etc?

sellin it on ebay thats all :laugh:

the output shafts for RB30e and the RB20 gearboxes are the same so it's a VL tailshaft and will suit anything with either of those GB's. I haven't mentioned the 30et's because i'm not sure if the output shafts are the same, as i'm lead to believe that they had a stronger box so they may have a different output shaft.

go for it, what have you got to lose. It's much the same as just pulling the engine out and putting it back in with the nissan stuff as it's all pretty modular.

My conversion for instance;

RB25 > S13

-Use a Cheffy X member that bolts straight up to the S-Series chassis rails.

-Then use RB20 Engine mounts brackets, that bolt straight up to the 25

-Use some off the shelf rubber mounts (i have some ideas here but we'll see if they will work and or be an improvement on the RB20 mounts.

-The only bit that has to be custom made is the gearbox X-member, which is no problem for me and infact i'll be making up some CNC brackets that Matt can then sell.

-Almost forgot the custom tail shaft which will cost $250 for an engineering fabriction place that makes tails shafts.

There you go the mechanical part is done.

Stolen from ns.com but lol's all around... Fast and the Furious-styles.

ive seen worse ones, that are obviously made up,

one of a skyline i think that was "going too fast for me to get the number plates" or "car was drifting behind me so i pulled over because i was scared"

so, had a couple problems with the 200 at the track day;

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
