LOL im just curious how far someone has pushes both of these engines? And curious to see which one will take out the other in a straight race with full modifications to both.

I'd love to see them go at it head to head, From what ive heard theres isnt much room to play with the R35, But still it flys Stock standard

I agree, the R35 motor seems to look superior in each and every way to the RB26. how much power will it handle? we can only wait to find out.

3.8L + 50% more capacity than rb26 = Much better drive and a shitload less lag

The 26 is a great motor, works well but none the less dated.

Cant wait to see this R35 Engines worked, So far we have seen over the 1000hp mark on the 26's... lets see

Well there's already plenty of 35 engines with the plasma coming off the bores at top dead centre. And having looked inside one, there's nothing spectacular about the 35's engine, fairly standard production stuff.

you can make any engine produce more power than another given enough money. I mean honda made 1.5l F1 engines that made well over 1000hp out of their puny capacity.

mod for mod an R35 is always going to be ahead of the 32. it simply has more goodies to start with. for an all out drag car neither will be as good as most hardcore toranas out there. so that comparison is kind of useless.

The answer is the driver/owner with the most money.

If you want a logical breakdown of it...the VR38 has more potential than the RB26 as an engine. But the R32 will come up trumps in a drag race assuming unlimited money/modifications simply because it's a smaller/lighter chassis than the R35. Weight means much more in drag racing than engine displacement and power because there's only so much you can do with the weight of a vehicle - power is only limited to your bank account and there is a point you get to where more of it doesn't equal a faster time because of various reasons, traction being one of them. There's nothing incredible about the VR38, beyond being a Nissan engine...it's the rest of the car that makes it work so well.

But the VR38DETT is an incredible engine, straight out from factory (stock), the R35 GTR is violently fast down the track, for response, low down, mid range to top end.

It can easily take on highly modified RB26's while the VR38DETT is still stock.

Best Motoring did a "Generations Battle" at Tsukuba Circuit, where the R35 GTR was put up against highly modified GTR's.

Bee*Racing R32 GTR (295 kW)

vs

Hosaka Tuning Factory R33 GTR (441 kW)

vs

MCR (Matchless Crowed Racing) R34 GTR (441 kW)

vs

Nissan R35 GTR (360 kW, Stock)

The finish times:

1'02"442 - R34 GTR

1'02"674 - R33 GTR

1'02"692 - R35 GTR

1'02"751 - R32 GTR

As Birds said, the only let down is the weight of the R35 GTR.

As for tuned R35 vs tuned R32, if both were tuned for equal in power and weight, it would be a very close race.

In theory, I still see the R35 GTR having a slight advantage due to it's Wider Wheel Base, giving it more stability on the track.

Wow to see them all in the same second time with all the diff KW outage.Strange i would think almost 100kw diff at the wheels is a HUGE difference in speed. And the 295kw R32 I dont really consider HIGHLY modified, I thought the r35 stock was about 320kw Stock standard?? but anyway thats Interesting Thanks for that i would of loved to see that race!

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
