found this comment on the GT-R Register?

"Can't understand this obsession with long stroke motors, Nissan made a lovely short stroke unit with superb rod ratios, then folks want to turn it into a slow revving, shakey old lump like the Toyota 2JZ-GTE twin turbo lump. 2.5 rules."

The very fast examples of a make and model is the yard stick in any argument. Some are convinced in its total superiority instantly and in this case anything else, like the awesome 2JZ becomes rubbish.

Mario develops a very high revving 1300 hp engine and it's used in all sorts of arguments. Have a look in the 'Tomei RB28 stroker' thread.

I remember distinctly, a few years ago, HKS cam gears were the most popular in the market. Everryone wanted them. One day, Mario made a comment about how the HKS cam gears were not suited to his high load, high rpm engine. From that moment on it was quite common to read people rubbishing the HKS cam gears. Some people wanted to sell theirs and replace them.

I quite like a short stroke motor - they rev nicely. A square motor is fine too, they also rev pretty well. It's just long stroke engines that I really don't like. e.g. the Falcon 4L.

Calling the 2JZ a bad engine because it's got a longer stroke is taking it a little far though.

Just did 2x 9 hour flights on BA 747's full of Poms. Im off travelling to England 4EVER, but Scotland Wales and Ireland are on the cards.

A short stroke engine will make revs, at the expense of torque and VV but it depends upon your application.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
