:(

Come on doof, who in their right mind gives a rats about safety? I mean really...

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

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
