r34 gtt engine

[r34gtt-05]

why does the r34 gtt have a different style engine to most other skylines ?

could someone please point out the differences for me (if any?)

ta

[crack]

solid lifters, vvt on inlet and exhaust cams, nylon compressor wheel on turbo

[prae]

Its just a plastic engine cover on the R34 GTT engines, they're still RB25DET's except with the features crack listed

crack.

Only VVT on inlet cam. Exhaust is still simple pulley.

the VVT is a constantly variable style, insted of Two step like the R33

Completly different head casting, uncompatible with previous ones, higher compression, lots of things..

this has been covered heaps before, try a search including the words "Neo Straight 6"

Its so gay how they put big engine covers on all new cars these days... you pop the bonnet of a new monaro & all you see is plastic... OWww thats good...:thumbdwn:

WHAT DID U ACTUALLY WANT TO KNOW ......

man there are a lot of differences in bottom end and the head.....

Plastic covers usually hide, crap looking engines.

i.e gen 3, v6 and others.

The RB motors are works of art, and should never be hidden under shrouds.

Even seen under the cover of the R34 GTT engine?

I looks crap.

Too many hoses and things on it.

The Traction control throttle body makes it horrible.

While we are on the subject, how good is the traction control on them, a worthy feature or bit of a gimmick? i.e. just for dodgy drivers or is it beneficial

[Bass Junky]

Well put it this way,

My Mum could drve my 200 rwkw car if the traction control was turned on in the wet.

turned off, she would be dead as a door post.

Works quite well actually.

I see, so they implemented it preety good then nissan...

If a car has good tyres and good balance, i don't really see why traction control is neccesary, its all about throttle control.

Obviously your old girl, just tramps it all the time, you have to tell her it isn't a hyundai

I think anyone who really likes driving & pushing their car to its limits will like no traction control, no HICAS, & no electronically assisted actions. Its good to know how the car will react when you corner, brake, & throttle from your own body movements. My r33 gtst suits me best with no traction control & an aftermarket 2way LSD installed spreading the power 50/50 makes the rear predictable too

BUT Most people arnt like me & simply drive cars to get from A to B so this is when traction control in the r34 is good.

I'd never let my Mum drive my car.

She'd have a heart attack as soon as she hit the throttle.

hopeless drivers buying a sports car, go figure...

My old girl has driven my turbo car from time to time.

I find turbo cars, really safe, in a turbo you only get power when you open it up heaps, a grumpy v8 on the other hand....

Spot on mate, I'd prefer most of it gone on the track but daily driving in the wet it's a god sent. Although with my hard suspension setup i drive with it off in the dry as it's too sensative.

Bass - I agree, the Neo engine looks sucky under that cover....

Oh and the one time I let my Mrs drive my car she lasted about 3000rpm till boost hit, shat herself, shreaked then got straight out of the car. Nice
