its all about power to weight. bikes generally have less power than modified turbo cars, but they will flog most of them in a roll on drag. Dont be surprised if a 1600 with a stock sr20 beats your mildly modified R33.

Its not so bad though, imagine how HSV GTS owners feel with 300kw when they get done by less powerful, but much lighter, S13's etc.

My gf has a brand new S15 Spec R GT and her car stock as a rock.... NO MODS...

Onlys has 2200km's on the clock and it keeps up with me... I win but not by much but she is a good driver... LOL (As good as a woman gets anyway)

Ouch dont hit these guys know its true...

Dr GTR is correct, that's pretty close to a standard Gts-t's power output isn't it?

What's with all you Nissan people bashing other Nissan cars?!? :P

The SR20DET is a classic, the RB26DETT is a classic. They can both get up around 1000HP. I personally don't think the RB25DET is in the same league as these 2 engines.

I've never seen an RB25DET with 1000HP.

I like the S14's and the R33's.

With enough money & engineering *most* engines can make 1000hp (some would have few OEM parts remaining!)

Why haven't you seen any 1000hp RB25DET's? Because the RB26DETT is a better starting point if you want to build a 1000hp Nissan straight 6.

Don't think for a second that it's easy to built a seriously powerfully & reliable SR20DET / RB26DETT (700+hp) Big $$$ & serious engine work. It's no different if someone were to choose the RB25DET as a base for a 1000hp. Give me the money & I'll be the first to build a 1000hp RB25DET.

The Silvia platform is one of Nissan’s best, sorry to see it go. It's reasonably cheap, light weight, powerful & very "chuckable".

Silvia vs. GTS25t..... It all comes down to personal preference.

I may be biased but I've yet to hear a decent exhaust note from an SR20DET :P they sound...um...sort of... 'farty'.

get outta here, u tryin to say an sr20det can get 1000hp and an rb25det cant......u gotta be kiddin me

firstly, how much of the sr2odet is an sr20det when its got a 1000hp, id be inclinde to call it a jun20det or hks20det

and secondly, anything can make 1000hp, its all money.

All nissans rock, and they r very similar, ive been up against a few lightly modded s14s, and mines only slightly modded, i havent been beaten but u dont blow em away either..comes down to money and driver..

ask them for rolling starts :D

a decent driver in a S13 or S14 or S15 will be extremely hard to beat...

speaking from experience Franks?? HHAhahaha..

anyways..as i've said before...big HP doesnt necessarily equates to fast car....a lot of factors come into play like driver skills, weight, drivetrain, suspension, fuel, cooling etc...

sub zero must be pretty close with there rb25!

I think TRY09 is an RB30/26DETT combo? It's certainly not an RB25DET - if that's the Subzero car you were thinking of?

with their RB30/26DETT, why did they choose the more expensive GTR head instead of the RB25 head? cos i'm looking at having a go at doing a RB30/25 hybrid, and i'd be keen to know why RB26 head is the go over the RB25 head. Do they keep the Variable Cam Timing?

I've got a nice turbo/exhaust manifold setup for an RB25DET so that's why i'd pick the RB25 head, so i can bolt it on (i've been told it won't fit an RB26 head)

Thanks

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
