Not only do they not sound like an RB. They sound like absolute dick.

Its not really that modern of an engine, I mean what has changed on it since they first went DOHC?
What I would define as a modern engine is something with VVL and direct injection. Without that its just a matter of not having a totally shit combustion chamber design and throwing in more boost and timing.

Interesting. I just got home from a cruise with some mates.

My mate with a tuned Barra got pissed on by an 34 tonight.

That's right, the guy in the 34 had time to stop, flop out is dick and piss on my mates car as he drove past.

Is that hilarious enough for you.

Because I find it bloody funny.

That barra engine wasnt in a skyline with skyline diff ratios and had an extra 400+ kg to move.

Both of those things together make a big difference.

XGTRX thinks if you make X horsepower on a dyno you MUST run Y MPH down the strip or your telling lies about dyno figures. Don't confuse him with diff ratio's and weight which might effect the outcome :ph34r:

I have been swapping out diff's and tranies and converters before you were still a twinkle in your father's eye sunshine.

And yes, if u run the same gearing and weight then difference in Mph (within a range), is related to engine power.

I have always been a supporter of getting the best out of your car by drive line mods.

Oh the good old days of a celica 5 speed bolted to a 202 with a ute diff and destroying 308s on the street. Good times those.

One tonner diffs are 3.90

I think the HQs were 4.4s. But anything was better than the 2.7 that came in the sedan. But you are right most of them were 3.9s. Smashed so many of them back then I just put in what ever they had at the wreckers.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
