LBR33 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I have just been on a American skyline forum and all i can say is that i am glad the skyline will never go anytime soon the the US. Like Supercharging a GTR and Ripping the heart out of a GTR (RB26) and putting it in a corvette. There is a limited supply of skylines now so we need to make sure that they arnt ruined.

Revhead Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Acknowledging that the 2.6L RB engine is better than the 5.7L V8 could be a good thing I have to admit that I do kinda like the late model Corvettes, especially the (late great) Lingenfelter twin turbo'd jobbies.

Kaido_RR Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 i dont understand wat the problem is, the rb26 is a fine engine, why shouldnt it be going into cars like corvette? I was once a member of corvette fourms (still am but whore more on SAU ) And many of the owners where into turbo charging there v8 :drooling: or putting smaller engine e.g v6 with turbos already on them into the corvette to make sure amounts of power Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/40516-sad-sad-america/#findComment-832541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkymonkey Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 nissan japan still makes old nissan motors, the N1 being a special order thing. Let em use as many engines as they want, as long as they don't get any shells over there so they can rice em up like a farken christmas tree and sticker it like a 5 yr old's lunchbox... only to give civic drivers hardons for round tail lights which they graft into their POS cars with epoxy glue and craft scissors. God forbid that... oh wait they alreay made fast n the furriest din they? Engine swaps are cool... corvettes are cool... corvette + RB26 = hardon supercharging a GTR is pretty wierd, when you can add NOS for just as much if you're worried about low end forced induction and higer RPM spool turbos.
