Well i picked my 33 Vspec up yesterday and am yet to sell the V8 33, so i have two different extremes in the garage, The torque of the V8 is just un beatable the rb26 cant compare to it, but then again its apples and oranges....

The V8 is awesome, different and original, turns heads and also better as an everyday driver with much more usable power, oh yeah did i mention its still for sale...

yeah, so it is a little sacrilegious. but having driven a couple rb25s and many a worked V8, the torque delivery seems far more instantanious & brutal in the V8s. dont get me wrong though, i love taking my little rb20 past 7000rpm. and i'm not so sure of this carby business though

i agree that turbos are a great way to increase torque! he should bolt on a couple of rb25 turbos onto it, then give me the keys... buwahahahaha

Well it goes the other way too.

Some guy in perth (f*** knows what car) old V8 type is removing his modified V8 for a 1000hp nissan engine imported from Japan. Its for the 14 mile ofcourse but it shows that the RB engine is well regarded...even in the V8 world.

Torque is overrated ...u can have a million pounds of torque but without rotation it means squat.

Want torque ...get a tractor.

you dont like torque dan....? j/k :rant:

cant like a 1000hp motor unless you like torque a bit...

to make 1000hp at, say, 9000rpm that engine would have to be making close to 790Nm@ said 9000rpm, which is a reasonable amount of torque.

the main thing i was thinking with a big ol 8 in an RB car would feel alot faster BUT not necessarily BE alot faster just from the way the torque is delivered.

cant really see the point in this conversion myself but its good to see people flying against the flow sometimes

Can you imagine the Chev owners who are cussing about their pride and joy finding its way into a fancy Datsun!

Could be wrong, but if you want to make god power, then RB are great, if you want to make big power, then it can still be done, if you want to make huge power, then id rather be starting with a little more swept volume then 2600cc.... that said i love the sound of a 6-cylinder on song at 8,000rpm

this will be a nuts car man....

think of how heavy the commodores are, and how quick they still can be...

take that power and knock off the kilo's its a weapon

I drive alot of chevs... i know... i love both

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
