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!

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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!
