think your right about the 400r being an RB28 or something - I probably would have been better off saying the 400r is a limited edition GTR:) very very limited.

But Nismo do sell crate motors, so you can buy a fully prepped engine off them, I have only seen them in RB26 form though.

Maxx, only using fully forged and balanced internals eh? how weak:p But seriously, this is how RB series make good power, built the bottom end tough, balance it, bolt on the good bits and rev the tits off them. I think the initial limiting factor is the turbos in the case of the 400r. Intercooler might not be helping either if it is a stock GTR item.

Saw whatsisname on NE Road this afternoon while I was with a friend from work looking at 33s. Can't believe what hefty prices they're asking for some of them at the moment - more than what I paid 2 years ago. Plus they were all older and had higher kms... :blah:

yeh i recon i saw him also

i was sitting in the car park next to motor city talkin on my phone

in my r32 and the guy from motor city came out and asked me if i wanted to

sell my car

apparently he is finding it hard to get r32's in his yard

i said no coz i would only have to replace it

and its better the devil you know i think :devfu:

Yeah I went and washed the car at the car wash on NE and then headed out to AIR.

Would you believe me if I said the Sudholz move was very out of character for me Pawley? :D I was just warming up for AIR....hehehe My exhaust is still quite restrictive but I'm not game to open it up anymore than it already is. Thanks for the feedback on how she sounds mate!

I want the black NSX at Motorcity - screw the crappy 350Z :)

I didn't even see the NSX until I drove back the other way later on. It did look very sweet though - then I saw another black one driving along NE Road about 2 minutes later. Not very often you see them around.

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
