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?

      Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list

      Front LSD Quaife , how streetable ?- QDF3L Owners

      Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain

      R34 4 door indicator and horn issue

      What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
