Pfft RB20's don't die, what a load of shit.
I can gauarntee if the RB30DET was available from factory in a GTR half of these arguments wouldn't exist. It's just the fact it's in a VL which puts people off (and i dont blame them, it puts me off aswell, however i can look past that and look at a block for what it is...a BLOCK! There is more to an engine than just the block).
Hell if half you people are so against saying "you have a RB30 under the bonnet", simple fix, don't tell people. Not many people can notice the extra height in the engine bay, so for all they know, you have a huge HP RB25/RB26.
It would be interesting to see whether some one that was so "RB26 pure" could actually tell if a car was a RB30/26. I could bet they wouldn't and would probably just say "Wow this thing has a lot more torque/response than mine!"
Not saying you can't build a RB26 to have as much torque, not at all, Dirt has proved this, however look how much experience he has and how much time and money he would have put into development. For 90% of engine builders around the country, they couldn't come close to potential of a RB30DET.
My 2 cents.
