West, you're just like one of those fobby asians who still thinks that Honda's are really fast because of the V-tec engines. HAHAHA.

Trust me i know because im asian myself and i know how asians think.

Bahahahaha I couldnt agree more...stupid FOB's

Maybe you're right lol but let me define myself, i've NEVER OWN a Honda. OK i trust you so do we go and buy a honda now sir?

yeah, lets go and get a piece of shit front wheel drive Honda (formula 1 inspired technology here, like how their ad says) deck it out with a sound system, body kit and skyline wannabe rear lights and drive around with RNB music on full blast like some African American wannabes! hahaha. Typical fobs!! AHahaha.

Anyway seriously, i do agree with you in some part about the inline 6. I6's are easier to mod because there is more room on either side of the engine and they do sound better than V6's. But at the end of the day, you have to admit that the VR38DETT is a far superior engine to the RB26 period.

Hmmm, I'm also tempted. I'm thinkin a 2 year old 335 coupe, add some big brakes, a set of Recaros, wind in some power, and go humilaite some V8 M3's :D

My dads got one. You really wouldn't need bigger brakes, and they go really good, but yer I would be flashing the ECU pretty quick. Some people are making good power gains with nothing more. I'm hoping to buy my dads in about a year hehe. Hopefully he will sell it cheap to me, and I know he never thrashes it.

I don't own Hondas, i don't like them BUT at the same time i won't bag them. At the end of the day, they run in FORMULA ONE and Nissan don't and Renalt is not Nissan.

you have to admit that the VR38DETT is a far superior engine to the RB26 period.

That sir we'll have to wait.............

Lets put this on the table now fellas - what's the real difference between an inline 6 and a V6? Performance wise, wouldn't the V6 make more torque?

In theory that is.

What theory, who's theory?

There is nothing, NOTHING inherent in a V6 engine that would allow it to make more torque than its inline counterpart.

theory basically goes like this from what I understand

V6 = compact, not perfectly balanced, easily mounted in the dimensions of a car's engine bay

I6 = LONG, perfectly balanced, difficult to mount

thus most companies are opting for V engines because they are much easier to build , with larger capacities that can meet emisions and better safety outcomes. It is far more complicated than this (for example I engines have problems with the length of the crankshaft) but is a pretty good summary I think.

I6 engines make heaps of torque, but they are typically compared with much larger capacity engines because of the relative size of the blocks (2.6 litre vs 3.8 litre).

The inline-6 in Ford's F6 Typhoon makes 550nm of torque out of 4L displacement. That's more than any production engine to ever come from Australia. Even Ford US shat when they saw it.

The VR38 with 3.8L makes 587nm of max torque. There are many engine architecture factors that would contribute to torque figures, but these numbers say a lot for the inline-6 i'd say.

Look I hate vee sixes as much as the next bloke, but there is a little more to it than just saying they are not perfectly balanced. It depends on their vee angle. Ever wonder why people produce 60 degree angled vee sixes?

      Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?

      Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary

      How To Fix Tacho, R33 (maybe)

      By stewart1 · Posted

      Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
