You have got me thinking about this instead of the Rb26 600hp tractor motor I am building

have done a little research

The 4.5 internals fit into to 4.1 block with enogh clearances etc.

Found this info on a R32 gtr AWD with VH4.1. The guy is in Australia and is/was on here (Skycat) but has not been online for a coupls of years. He did have a Advan as a contact and his real name in his profile. Track him down for all the info.

Skycat- is Peter from Advan Performance. Top guy... He was selling gearbox/engine mount kits and gearbox adapters to suit vg30 and rb25/6 gearboxes. He ended up getting an awd vh41 into an r32 gtr.

Cheers

Few pics in this thread

Looking at the pics it looks like turbos will have to be mounted foward of engine as they will not fit between engine and strut towers??

This will creat alot of other drama's moving everything out the way.

Maybe best keep NA.

I will keep searching.

What year are these engines? Not sure if they can be made legal esp if they are older than the stagea's???

One of the main reasons I am not going Rb30

just remembering the last conversation i had with you Darrin. went something along the lines of keeping your car legal in all states so the RB30 build was off the table and it would be better to stick with a RB26. i bet you mouse is hovering over the bid button on import monster for a VH isn't it tongue.gif

Bam!! this just made my day. yanks have gotta be good for something. lolz

Note: half way down reference to a guy in Tassie, iirc someone has done one on this forum with a R32GTR. i thought you were going rips build pintaline?

AWD Cima

yep, still the plan, as soon as i sell a torana ill be starting to piece it all together. but where do you go from an RB30 if you ever feel like going further? a VH conversion would be a nice step up.

Smart arse!!

I will stick with my $190 RB26. Should be here in about 2-3 weeks

Just need to work out where to hide it from the missus

Just been having a read about Power Enterprise, a Japanese tuning shop who also have a base in the US. AS well as building the twin supercharged and twin turboed GTR they also do twin turbo kits for the VQ35 which with the forged rods and pistons they also supply plus the chipped ecu can offer 450 -650hp off the shelf (well I guess there is a little additional work)!

This is the thought I had years ago, only problem was I had just finished the 26 conversion. AWD is a big job not impossible but not easy either, I was looking for quite a while for an awd front cut but no luck. I would do a rwd vh45 conversion and even keep it auto, I have driven a few vh45 powered cars and I love them, by far the best nissan motor I have driven for street duties. There are a few cheap complete cars for sale at the moment (Q45) if I had room I would by 1 and keep it till I found a good car to convert. Oh and they were made up till 2002 so in Qld you can convert upto 2002 cars without drama, friend has 1 in a vx monaro lol

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
