Built 2.6 vs 2.8 Same duration cams Same fuel Same dyno and tuner Same turbo's Same ECU Not sure what you'd prefer.... I'll give you a guess which engine is which.. Carry on...

The beauty of a responsive big power stroker is you can still pretend it's heaps laggy with the throttle, if that's your thing. Can't pretend a lag monster is responsive...

There is definitely something wrong with you. I liked your post, but there is definitely something broken!

So what you're saying is that if you put 2 of these 1.5L 3 cyl engines in a line, you'd have an rb30, which is the superior option all round.

haha, I do not live in the City, 2 minutes down the road it is 80 another 2 minutes it is 100 and 50 klm of country road that has all of the features that make driving fun and I do it up to 7 days a week :yes:

I leave the City driving to you poor bastards :angry:

Oh and at the end of my road there is one of the best hill climb roads in NSW , Wooton Way. Mmmmm it is like driving heaven :wub:

Imagine how good the r35 could have been if nissan stuc with little engines!

Point is, just because someone has a preference to a responsive set up, stroker, 30 whatever doesn't mean its any better for daily duties than another less responsive one. Its just a preference. So all this bullshit about revving the f**k out of 26 to keep up with traffic and crap is just bullshit. IMO based on driving mine daily for the last 4 years is having it off boost in traffic is a blessing and my setup is much nicer to drive that my clubby was and the few ford turbos I have driven.

IN MY HONEST OPINION RESPONSIVE SETUPS SUCK MASSIVE ROD!

Why? because I don't like them, but not to say they are not good for someone that prefers them, but they are no more streetable than a less responsive one.

If I had close to stock response and 350-450wkw I would beat some tiidas and prius's and then I would push it off a cliff and start again.

Moral of the story find out what you like and build it.

You are OK with your car's setup because you drive around in a traffic jam, 1st and 2nd gear driving is fun , as long as you do not have a soft clutch, no problem.

As you said, the good thing about this is, you do not have to change your undies every time you go for a drive as it does not scare you :woot:

BUT, only 6000rpm or 7000rpm away from a MONSTER ready to eat the road , good luck with that as a DD in Melbourne City :action-smiley-069:

haha, don't shoot your Biographer, it was your story as told by you, I just put pen to paper so to speak and there's nothing wrong with a bit of stupid , the trick is , knowing that your stupid makes one a lot smarter and at times I can be pretty stupid, I feel smarter already :special: .

So, I am here to help you get through your fear on low rev speed. Starters, I will give you a few KW down low to start with, put a big spring behind your accelorator so you cannot push it too quickly and away you go :yes::3some: :3some: :3some::yes: :yes:

My setup is worlds away from your old setup Pete, just remember that.

I will post up a video of my daily duties one day so you can understand it better, probably the easiest way.

Just quietly at least XGTRX knows what he wanted in his car, and didn't start a 100+ page topic that could have been resolved very quickly.

But that's none of my business.....

I am sure it would have to be MUCH better than mine, it was hideous to drive and try it with Quad clutch in peak traffic for 1 1/2 hours and you will understand why I hated the heap of shit :bomb_ie:

I am putting up my old Dyno off the 2.6 so some of these blokes know what I call laggy, so they will know what I mean and why I tried so hard to get the car I wanted to drive.

Now, I showed you mine, show me yours!

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      The 32 still sits untouched with the broken gearbox. So a little off topic but not worth having a whole new thread. The daily starlet has gotten back on the road after 9 months. Suspected blown HeadGasket at a track day resulted in a bit of scope creep rebuild. The motor got a full tear down, pressure testing, machined for MLS HG, ARP head bolts, new bearings, all new seals etc also noticed some fatigue on the stock exhaust manifold so obviously the answer was a steam pipe manifold and highflow turbo. The exhaust was also looking tired with some rust holes. So I got a slightly over kill system made up consisting of Vibrant resonator and muffler with a highflow cat. The new highflow turbo had a larger inlet so instead of adapting the old intake got a case of the might as wells and had a nicer alloy intake made After the run in was finished i bought a (probably considered retro/vintage) EBC becasue "might as well"

      R34 GTR Front Diffuser/Guard Liner questions.

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is kind of what I expected given the use case. I took my liners out for track days too.... It makes me consider just getting a diffuser and not bothering with the arch liners themselves. For the most part I would like to avoid water/mud/jank splashing up from under the car onto the bottom of the engine, lines, wiring, etc etc. (but brake ducts are cool too). Especially given this post on SAU here: Where it's implied you have to cut them because the actual tub is different? Which is pretty damn worrying because that is where the liners rub in a GTR with wider wheels... I definitely won't want to pay $2000 for plastic then cut them up. It also means said wider wheels rub on the tub in a GTT? FML. That said, I have found some evidence someone ran a 295/30/18 without scrubbing these liners. (and by extension.. the tub).
