Having said that the rb is late 80's technology and i believe it did very well to last this long....time to step aside i think, although the R35 is yet to be proven 100%. Time will tell...i have complete faith.

I love my RB engines.....

But its 2008 and Nissan had to come out with something new, or be swamped

fine for the 1% that can afford the 35 but the other 99% can have an RB GTR right now with the necessary upgrades to give them similar power which will see them thru for the next 10 years or so until the 35 becomes affordable.

What someone needs to do is come up with an RB package that gives similar kind of midrange to the VR38, as thats the key for it being so quick in such a heavy car...midrange and lots of it! :)

Nice...

All though no where near the 400rwkw mark the gt30 .82 on the rb30 makes 200rwkw at 3500rpm and 256rwkw at 4000rpm with 19psi.

Would be interesting to see what sort of power a well sorted rb30det with a pair of 2530's could make.

hahaha joel u love the 25/30 :):D and have good reason too.... i thin someone needs to make a custom t3 manifold and strap on some turbos on the 35 and wind up the boost!!!

Its the transient response that would blow you away. While its possible to hold a car on the dyno and let it build boost to make a power and torque figure at a given rpm, get it out on the road at 1500rpm and nail the throttle in fourth gear. That tells the complete story :)

Exactly.. There's really no replacement for displacement. :)

martin

what is the max rev limit for this engine. 7500 rpm?

also do you have the software to unlock the 03 350z ecu to raise the rev limit on that?

would something like >>This<< help

Look its a forum, anyone can have an opinion - but heres the facts....

R35 GTR Stock

0-100km/h - 3.5 sec

0-400M - 11.5/11.6sec @ 120-122mph

Now to get this pace from an R32/33/34 GTR you will need -

TD05 kit/GT2540 turbochargers or similar running 1.5 bar boost

700cc+ fuel injectors

Upgraded fuel pump

Programmable management FC or similar with a correctly carried out tune

Front pipes

Full exhaust system with cat removal

Upgraded twin/triple clutch

Possible intercooler upgrade

and be prepared to build an engine for it in the very near future...

as well as being in a constantly harrassed and defectable car :merli:

This isnt a guess. We have done our fair share of GTR modification over the years.

Nissan have done a very good job of building a genuine supercar that thankfully DOESNT need a bucket of cash thrown at it to make it go like it should.

That is the true value of R35 :laugh:

So basically you get 911 turbo performance for the boxter pricetag?

And there's still plenty of scope for upgrades without having to rip it to pieces and kill the package.

Like you say, sounds like the real deal to me.

I love my RB25DET

I believe on a scale of 'bang for buck', modding the RB engines is far cheaper with sufficient gains.

Maybe in a couple of decades when the R35 and any mods are more affordable ............

yeah I agree to some extent Reuben - but you simply can't compare the R35 with anything that has ever existed previously - it is in a whole new league. Fact is you don't need to mod it - with a tune they are making 350rwkw - much more that you can use on the street anyhow.

Yeah, I shoudl have also added "... when the R35 is also proven after years of service"

:merli:

We're not Andrew, but others on here are!

I'm sure when the 34 GTR first came out, peeps were saying the same thing........"plenty of power, you don't need to mod it"....who you trying to kid :merli:

Exactly.. There's really no replacement for displacement. :P

Then again... VW have done a very reasonable job of making an engine that's short on displacement punch well above it's weight. VW call it TSI, but it makes more sense when I say... a supercharger and a turbocharger combined to work as one.

The VW Golf GT/TSI runs a 1.4L four cylinder TSI engine that makes 125kw and 240nm of torque, the bulk of the later at just 1500rpm till 5000rpm. Driven 'normally' it can also return figures of under 6.0L/100. It's even more fun when it comes with a DSG gearbox.

Not exactly R35 GTR territory, but good for the daily commute, very impressive economy (handy when paying 1.50+per L) and much quicker than a few fleet Commodore owners were expecting :)

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
