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!

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
