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

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
