LOL it was a DR30 and in car film . Its on the video "The Great race , the Turbolent years Bathurst 1986 - 1992" . Great driving for basically an overgrown Datsun 1600 with a top endy FJ20ET .

It was interesting to watch the R31's race , they appeared to be driven on the rev limit everywhere .

show me graphs of an rb20 and an sr20 with the same turbo, this will be a good comparison... not based on whether 6 cylinders is better then 4, but rather a direct engine to engine comparison

i think i can answer this one

2 180sx's....one has a 1992 SR20DET redtop with a HKS2530 @ 1.2bar, 600x300x80mm FMIC, 3" exhuast, apexi intake, power FC, HKS 550cc injectors, walbro 550HP pump, OS giken twinplate Clutch - on a very convservitive dyno (at a dyno day) it made 191.8rwkw. stock cams/internals

the other 180sx, has a 1992 RB20DET, with a HKS2530 @1.1bar(same turbo), 600x300x80mm FMIC (same IC), 3" exhuast (same), K&N intake, GTR fuel pump, stock injectors but a FPR (fuel pressure regulator) and a SAFC tuned with the stock computer. it made (at the same dyno day, a few mins after the other 180sx) 192.0rwkw. stock cams/internals

virtually identical power - the torque curves were interesting.....the SR20 was higher untill 4000rpm where the RB took over.....so the SR has the lower end...but it fell away from 6000rpm...where the RB stayed strong to 8000rpm. i worked out the "approx" area under the graphs....the RB had it by about 10% more...due to the wider power band.

now...when racing....from a standing start....the SR wins untill mid-end of 2nd gear, where the RB pulls on it....then by the time 4th comes...its pulled 1.5-2 lengths - its a similar situation when racing supra's...RB takes over in 2nd and continues to pull away...on a rolling start its RB all the way...from 110kph in 3rd gear (4500rpm in the RB , PERFECT from launching from) it nails the SR

the top end of the RB helps here......

i guess u should come to ur own conclusions about these "results" :(

i'll have some results for this thread next week.

rb20det stock internals

HKS gt2530

cam gears

gtr pump

3 inch -> 3 1/2 inch exhaust

ARC fmic

nismo fpr

gtr 444cc injectors....about to be installed

splitfire coil packs

power fc .....about to be installed

Blitz ebc (running .9bar)

hoping for some good response and about 190rwkw

hopefully next week to be taken to jim at CRD to put the finishing touches on it. I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes.

also id like to add

the 2 cars are VERY similar in handling!!!

the RB seems to have made little to no difference

Roy : the RB20 180sx is going into the shop on monday :), injectors, wolf 3d management, tune @ 1.3bar

glad to here that some one else realizes that they handle just fine with the rb20 up front.

over here stateside there is a stigma about the rb series being "massively" heavier thus making your handling crap.

i had no problems with my car, and it was tons of fun to drive, especialy sideways.

My R31 GTSR was returned to me on Monday.

Mods are: GTR injectors, walbro pump, custom fuel rail and all new lines. Exhaust, pod and ecu.

The rest is standard, remembering GTSR had a TO3/4E from factory.

I also removed all the butterflies and the spindle from the sandwich plate between head and inlet manifold.

Results were 225rwkw @ 13psi and 170rwkw @ 6-7psi.

correct - dyno runs are only good for comparison if 2 cars are run beside each other

the 2 cars that i compared have both made over 220rwkw on different dynos

i just used the 190rwkw runs as example as thats what they both made a few mins apart on a the same dyno.

Regarding the 220 on another dyno...exactly. There is another thread at the moment stating a certain power level...and from the experiences of a friend his car made 20rwkws more then what his car typically makes...so comparing power figures from different dynos is a waste of time.

A lot of ppl claim massive wheelspin probs at 200rwkws in an R32 GTST, so with 222rwkws and no wheelspin at all in 2nd let alone 3rd, i question my power figure:(

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • 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.
