the 4.8 is one large mofo engine. at least 100/150 mil taller than an rb. A fair bit longer and massively heavier.

If you have the car to handle the physical dimensions you can build a torque monster capable of moving the earth on it's axis.

Brian crower makes a stroker kit specifically for this engine simply because there is a fairly large demand in the oil rich sand dunes, more money than sense I guess.

It drinks like a fish in standard guise. I crapped myself after the first couple of tank fulls of fuel, Over 20 litres per 100 kilometres. A set of headers, decent exhaust and an after market ecu with a good dyno tune improved it out of sight. As low as 16/100 driven sensibly and nothing phases it. Tow or carry whatever you will it just laughs at it.

AT 2 and 1/2 tonne it still manges a 16 second 1/4 mile too. :P

  • Nope 1
More importantly, where are the vids of your car?? :P

I took the video camera for the dyno tune but forgot all about it till we had finished and unstrapped the car. LOL

Need better quality tyres for the next tune and we only reached 24psi and turned the tyres to smoke (brand new 245 17s) Would have been nice to see 500rwkw but will have to settle with 475 for now without the nos.

+1, suprised more people havnt explored them...

ive seen a 1000hp AWD drag supra with a TB42 and 4wd running gear...

I seen it in the Supra forums. I think it was all done up in Russia.

I guess it goes to show that with enough $$$ anything is possible :blush:

Some Patrols here in Aus. are running RB26/30 combos - apparently it all bolts straight up.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
