There was a speed boat with a 2JZ and a big single on it at Auto Salon Final Battle last year...

it looked a wee bit safer then that...

:(

Come on doof, who in their right mind gives a rats about safety? I mean really...

that may be so doof, but i bet you the autosalon one would have cost the same amount of 1000 of these things, nor would it have character, also the autosalon one could be all show and no go for all we know, atleast this one is floating.

and yeah if i had that much money i'd be doing excentric things with it aswell, i've always wanted a toilet in the skyline, might aswell throw in a spa bath aswell, and make it into one of those amphibious cars while i'm at it so i can go fishing with the car...

Not to mention the tail you could get telling a girl to go into your ferrari boat......come on, you were all thinking it.

EDIT: ^God damn!!

Such a stupid thread.

Who really cares what engine a boat has on it? I bet everyone would be smoking one another if it had an rb motor on it.

Who really give a rats arse about the Gas Motorsport boat, big deal, a built 2JZ in a boat, not different from the Xtreme Rotary 20B Turbo boat and it would probably be a raceboat just like the 20b.

I find myself wondering why there aren't any speedboats around here that use a RB or 1/2JZ (apart from one well known raceboat that uses a 1000hp VH45DE(TT?) in favour of heavy, clunky old V8s

boats dont run gears as such, so the lag is ghey

Yeah... Auto Salon is only like 50% rice these days... It's not everyday you get to see cars to back to back 1000rwkw runs...

yeah i have no idea what your crying about???? all i understood is you had something to do with the building of the 20b rotary boat or something...

LOL at your quote " Who really cares what engine a boat has on it?" LOL umm, thats what makes the boat, car, aeroplane ect ect.... Its like saying 'who cares about the engine in the Bugatti Veyron'...

Which isn't much different to the inboard 350 chevs and clevelands that have been used in boats for decades. Why the sudden awe when the jap engines make their way onto a boat?!?

That is one dodgy ass setup in the OP though. They've outboarded a car engine :D

Because water requires lots of low down torque and the V8 configuration is more boat friendly. It's less complicated + easier to work on and setup on a boat. Very reliable when it comes to salt water too.

EDIT: Sorry to disappoint you Basti, I've cut down on the theses and I'm agreeing more and more these days :)

Like birds said, its really nothing to do with HP its the torque thats needed in a boat to get the boat on "plane".

My familys ski boat has a common as muck 350 chev. at WOT it cant rev past 4.1k Rpm because the cams are focused on low down torque to pull a couple of skiiers out of the water.

i would imagion that small turbo motor may go faster once it actually got moving but i doubt it would ever get a 1.5t ski boat + 4 ski biscuits up on plane. well deffinitly not in a prop driven boat any way.

external gate and sreamer FTW

i went on a few of these boats in Thailand and like other have said some of them haul ass. We even raced another boat on the water which was funny.

Some of them have turbos slapped on and them seem to be running fine

    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
