I forgot to mention the 2.8L stroker. That also should of been standard and not the 2.6.

And the Idea of the Rb26 was probably was being worked in 87-88 but was refined and produced to GTR spec in 89.. What i mean by stage 2 is yes the ecu was tuned more then the average tune. Yes the Rb26 can be tuned slightly and make more gains and it could also be tuned again to make more gains. Dont know what the limit is before you need extra parts. What im saying is the VR was probably tuned more then the Rb26 straight off the line. who knows. And yes it can be further tuned to make more gains aswell.

Why is it that the 180km cluster was inplemented into the Older GTR cars and not the newer ones? Did the law of speed change over the eyars which allowed them go harder with the factory tune?

dude, every car sold in japan has a 180km/h speed LIMIT and as such a 180km/h maximum on their speedo. that includes the R35 GTR too...

I'm trying to help but getting close to giving up. all this stuff about the R35 being tuned hard and thus doesn't have as much potential is just nuts.

for starters look at the facts.

RB26 produces 280hp from the factory (as per the japanese manufactures agreement of the day)

VR38 produces nearly 500hp from the factory.

2.6 vs 3.8L

I6 vs V6

wet sump (and fragile at that) vs semi-dry sump

5 speed synchro box vs rear mounted 6 speed DSG transaxle

no VCT vs VCT

there are so many more but the fact is the VR38 has plenty of potential. have a look at how many VR38s can easily produce 800hp then see how hard it is to get a GENUINE 800hp out of an RB26. it's not easy.

I understand the VR has much more adjustments and ALot of potential, Just saying from the weight ratio point of view, and the ammount of tuning they did at the end of the production line. Dont worry about it im just curious about things LOL

Anyways Who knows what they did in the factory and what tune they did and comparing the ratio to the Rb26 what was tuned more i dont know. Im just guessing because the laws were different before.

they made their new race engine 2.6L to compete in a certain cc class because the 2.4l(iirc) just wasn't making what they wanted in the cc class it would have been in.

Oh and everything else you said in that post was gibberish.

How long have you been into skylines?

I meant the Car is much lighter not the engine.

Spool does it for 9k, I wonder how those strokers will go with the -5 and how responsive they will be. And the petrol usage difference..

Have you got a website i can check this out? Is it advertised?

well when people say spool rb34, have a big guess at what you might type into Google to find such a product??

R35 is just better in all ways.

But ill take an old modified datsun chassis running an RB any day of the week over a VR R35

I had a guess and it was such an amazing guess i actually typed spool rb34. And have a guess what came up the spool website and have another guess what i found in that website F**k all about rb34dett stroker engine for 9k. Mad guessing ay . your turn to do some guessing guess what that link is for the 9k engine and paste in here :/

when i say word on the street, i mean word on the street.

in as my mate contacted them and was given a quote for a bottom end.

if you are that interested, how about you simply contact them and enquire for yourself!

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
