Haha considering the fact that a rb20e only has around 100kw, thats a 0-100 time of 10 seconds ish. (from calculation of the 147kw rb25de 0-100 8 seconds).

I'd love to see a rb20e try to do a 10 sec 100. Some poor bugger has one in aust. They should do a test.

There's a bunch of em kicking about, pre sevs imports. A few in HR31s as well.

In response to OP:

Are we counting Rotary N/A?

They're pretty quick but that's more about having a lightweight body than having bucketloads of power.

Hate to burst this bubble of worship guys, but NA rotories, still slow.

Even the panspeed car only had like 500HP

Worked 20B.

Dill with it.

*Cough* Not slow when bolted into an 800kg r100... *cough*

Yeah, but that's the point, you HAVE to bolt it into something that is sub 1000kg to make it go hard.

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate my normally aspirated rotangs.

Just sayin'

Same theory as cortinas, average motor bolted into something light = fastish

NA skylines are the same as a decaf skim latte.

Why bother.

Because then u get to hang out with the cool kids in the coffee shop, same principle.

Yes a commo will smash ur Natro skyline, but with the skyline silvia 300zx soarer whatever it may be they're Natro versions are still "welcomed" to events such as down shift meet ups, club cruises and jamboree.

It's a conformist/wanting to belong to something thing

Hey hey hey, I've just got wiring left now ;)

ive just got the exhaust left.

whats your point?

I will laugh when my rotang starts before both of your cars ;)

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
