that may be so doof, but i bet you the autosalon one would have cost the same amount of 1000 of these things, nor would it have character, also the autosalon one could be all show and no go for all we know, atleast this one is floating.

and yeah if i had that much money i'd be doing excentric things with it aswell, i've always wanted a toilet in the skyline, might aswell throw in a spa bath aswell, and make it into one of those amphibious cars while i'm at it so i can go fishing with the car...

Not to mention the tail you could get telling a girl to go into your ferrari boat......come on, you were all thinking it.

EDIT: ^God damn!!

Such a stupid thread.

Who really cares what engine a boat has on it? I bet everyone would be smoking one another if it had an rb motor on it.

Who really give a rats arse about the Gas Motorsport boat, big deal, a built 2JZ in a boat, not different from the Xtreme Rotary 20B Turbo boat and it would probably be a raceboat just like the 20b.

I find myself wondering why there aren't any speedboats around here that use a RB or 1/2JZ (apart from one well known raceboat that uses a 1000hp VH45DE(TT?) in favour of heavy, clunky old V8s

boats dont run gears as such, so the lag is ghey

Yeah... Auto Salon is only like 50% rice these days... It's not everyday you get to see cars to back to back 1000rwkw runs...

yeah i have no idea what your crying about???? all i understood is you had something to do with the building of the 20b rotary boat or something...

LOL at your quote " Who really cares what engine a boat has on it?" LOL umm, thats what makes the boat, car, aeroplane ect ect.... Its like saying 'who cares about the engine in the Bugatti Veyron'...

Which isn't much different to the inboard 350 chevs and clevelands that have been used in boats for decades. Why the sudden awe when the jap engines make their way onto a boat?!?

That is one dodgy ass setup in the OP though. They've outboarded a car engine :D

Because water requires lots of low down torque and the V8 configuration is more boat friendly. It's less complicated + easier to work on and setup on a boat. Very reliable when it comes to salt water too.

EDIT: Sorry to disappoint you Basti, I've cut down on the theses and I'm agreeing more and more these days :)

Like birds said, its really nothing to do with HP its the torque thats needed in a boat to get the boat on "plane".

My familys ski boat has a common as muck 350 chev. at WOT it cant rev past 4.1k Rpm because the cams are focused on low down torque to pull a couple of skiiers out of the water.

i would imagion that small turbo motor may go faster once it actually got moving but i doubt it would ever get a 1.5t ski boat + 4 ski biscuits up on plane. well deffinitly not in a prop driven boat any way.

external gate and sreamer FTW

i went on a few of these boats in Thailand and like other have said some of them haul ass. We even raced another boat on the water which was funny.

Some of them have turbos slapped on and them seem to be running fine

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
