Ill put my money on the R35

I agree, the R35 motor seems to look superior in each and every way to the RB26. how much power will it handle? we can only wait to find out.

3.8L + 50% more capacity than rb26 = Much better drive and a shitload less lag

The 26 is a great motor, works well but none the less dated.

Cant wait to see this R35 Engines worked, So far we have seen over the 1000hp mark on the 26's... lets see

you can make any engine produce more power than another given enough money. I mean honda made 1.5l F1 engines that made well over 1000hp out of their puny capacity.

mod for mod an R35 is always going to be ahead of the 32. it simply has more goodies to start with. for an all out drag car neither will be as good as most hardcore toranas out there. so that comparison is kind of useless.

The answer is the driver/owner with the most money.

If you want a logical breakdown of it...the VR38 has more potential than the RB26 as an engine. But the R32 will come up trumps in a drag race assuming unlimited money/modifications simply because it's a smaller/lighter chassis than the R35. Weight means much more in drag racing than engine displacement and power because there's only so much you can do with the weight of a vehicle - power is only limited to your bank account and there is a point you get to where more of it doesn't equal a faster time because of various reasons, traction being one of them. There's nothing incredible about the VR38, beyond being a Nissan engine...it's the rest of the car that makes it work so well.

99% of us here know a rb26 can make over 1000hp, lol what are you trying to prove, personally im getting the feeling you dont know much at all bout rb's.....

Nice Answer! Cleared up my questions thanks

But the VR38DETT is an incredible engine, straight out from factory (stock), the R35 GTR is violently fast down the track, for response, low down, mid range to top end.

It can easily take on highly modified RB26's while the VR38DETT is still stock.

Best Motoring did a "Generations Battle" at Tsukuba Circuit, where the R35 GTR was put up against highly modified GTR's.

Bee*Racing R32 GTR (295 kW)

vs

Hosaka Tuning Factory R33 GTR (441 kW)

vs

MCR (Matchless Crowed Racing) R34 GTR (441 kW)

vs

Nissan R35 GTR (360 kW, Stock)

The finish times:

1'02"442 - R34 GTR

1'02"674 - R33 GTR

1'02"692 - R35 GTR

1'02"751 - R32 GTR

As Birds said, the only let down is the weight of the R35 GTR.

As for tuned R35 vs tuned R32, if both were tuned for equal in power and weight, it would be a very close race.

In theory, I still see the R35 GTR having a slight advantage due to it's Wider Wheel Base, giving it more stability on the track.

Wow to see them all in the same second time with all the diff KW outage.Strange i would think almost 100kw diff at the wheels is a HUGE difference in speed. And the 295kw R32 I dont really consider HIGHLY modified, I thought the r35 stock was about 320kw Stock standard?? but anyway thats Interesting Thanks for that i would of loved to see that race!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
