OUCH!

and oi Chris.. You might provide the cable ties, but remember I'm the one that does the tieing! :(

oh, and I'm with thomas RB26!

This is a VERY complex discussion that can go on for ages, and will surely piss the rest of the whores off if we discuss it in this thread, but in a nutshell, all things being equal, a normal stroke RB26 is better for big power on street fuel than using an RB30 crank for the following reasons-

*The piston speed is lower at the same revs

*There is less side thrust exerted on the bores by the pistons, due to less conrod angular/side motion (less heat/friction)

*The Piston spends more time in the dwell state at TDC and BDC

*The Bore/Stroke ratio is much better (over-square engines like to rev harder)

Which helps, briefly, with the following

*Keeps frictional losses down (engine lasts longer, makes power more easily)

*Helps secondary balance

*Optimises manifold air speed at high revs

And blahdy, blahdy, blah. [/end rant]

Nissan could have made the engine 3L if they wanted to, but they didn't.

P.s 2JZ's and RB30's both have around 6800rpm limits from the factory, which is the same piston speed as an RB26 at 8000rpm.

Ouch... how much damage to the head (esp the combustion chamber on 6)?

Pretty respectable effort, haven't seen something that smashed for a long time!

Edit - that quote from R32R at the top of the page is wrong, very very wrong. I think he's got things crossed up.

That's what I thought too but I'm glad somebody more knowledgable than me said it first.

But but but, if RB30 bottom ends are so good, then why can't I get a crate engine with an RB30 bottom end shipped from Japan? (innocent look)

No one will do it for me! They all say something along the lines of, "Are you stupid?" (innocent look)

(...stupid for asking them to build it, not stupid for asking them to build one and send it)

Seriously though, I'd like to hear someone that is all for RB30's tell me why they're better. I have no idea.

..uhm..so as not to hijack mona's thread, this is for your benefit too moonie :huh::(

i've heard RB20DE
It will be sweet when it has the CA18DE in there, should be an animal,ooops I've said too much.........

Personally, I'd be going for an L16 and turbo, blowing through a decent sized carbie of some sort - 45mm Weber, Dellorto or SU, side-draught of course... :huh:

im sure u can cable tie it back together.. no biggy
Bit of gaffa tape and she'll be all good again..

Ahhh, cable ties and gaffa/electrical tape - the drift/drag/circuit racer's and mechanic's best friend! :(

Seriously though, that is some heavy duty damage. :rofl: Mona, you should keep the parts and display them somehow for memories. Ahhh, the good times!

    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!ย  We are a pack of know it alls....ย  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!ย  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree! ย 
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc. ย  It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things. ย  Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing" ย  As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things. ย  It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first. ย  There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one. ย  However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long timeย  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
