Sounds like heresay to me. Plenty of people with RB26DETTs running more that 300kw (at the wheels) without issue: you just *must* make sure that all the ancillary systems are in place to support that kind of power and all necessary modification have been made.

If your really concerned, source an N1 block which has thicker walls and different oil galleries designed to protect the block from cracking.

Get Zoom, 08/04 mag, has a Phat 350Z 334kW twin-turbo on the cover blue 350Z.

It has an article about RB26 tuning, and they are saying 400kw@rw is what you can get on stock internals, then you'll have to start uping the internals and start looking at some other things as well.

RB26's are very strong engines, it wouldn't be so well known if it wasn't.

Up get take the RB26 over 1,000hp and over 700kw@rw, companies can sell 1,000hp RB26's wouldn't be cheap at best though.

Ha biggest crap i have ever heard.

Teh GTR Block can NEVA crack :)

All serious now, mate there are guys making well over 900 HP and the block hasn't cracked.

Oh and if you go to supra forums dont type the word GTR.

The Supra Boys seem to get a a bit of bullshititis and upset.

Must be because they worked out they bought the wrong car.:)

Hi guys,

I've seen plenty of supras making more power than gtrs with stock internals, they are doing 9s (street tyre) in the US the record is 950rwhp on stock internals, there are countless making 700 to 800hp, I've never heard of a GTR doing this on stock internals or not even near so come back down to earth NISMO 400 R N1, In my point of view the supra has the upper hand as you can do much more to it with less money. Its not hard to see that the market has a wider range for the Skyline/ GTR within Australia as.

my friend has cracked his block...i'm pretty sure he told me he was running 500+whp though.

i have been told to be wary of the engine twisting when making in access of 450hp? i think getting stiffer engine mounts would help. there's also something that looks kinda like a shock absorber which kills or minimises the twisting.

Yes, Nismo makes a series of mounts for the RBs, and there are "anti-twist" bars. Of course the best option would be to get an N1 block...

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
