-5's Vs Rs's On A Larger Then Stock Motor

[Marko R1]

depends on what you are chasing...

ive had both now & this is my opinion:

- if u want effortless/lazy power, ball tearing mid range & an engine which is not as free revving, build an rb30.

- if you want more of a drivers engine where u need to be in the right gear & its sounds like a gtr should do, build an rb26.

- option 3, buy an r35 with 3.8ltr if u want REAL torque (just apply for a mini house loan)

[r32-25t]

I own a f6 typhoon and even Paul will say there is nothing lazy about the engine in it

The rb30 with the right parts should never be a lazy engine either, it may not have the nothing nothing everything power delivery. But it wont be lazy and steve rb30 sounds more like an rb26 then Pauls 2.8

my mate took me for a drive in his xr6 turbo & that was a nice car with loads of torque, it reminded me of my dads 5ltr torana where u change @ 5000rpm

when i 'lazy' i mean the power delivery is instant like a v8

Your right there.... You dont even know what mine has under the bonnet when its on boost. NOTHING like an RB.

[r32-25t]

So you mean linear not lazy

[Marko R1]

yes

[r32-25t]

Guess it's all personal taste with that one, now that I'm older Im after a car that's linear, reason ive bought a vl that was smacked in the butt

[Deano 1]

lol that was a funny day steveo, puting holes in there launch area hahahaha

[Piggaz]

How do you mean Piggaz ?

Just the note it puts out...it sounds like a vent to atmo external gate but much deeper and angry. Very strange!

[DVS JEZ]

LOL Steve-o, they had the biggest sook at you that day.

i love how they were bagging out our GTR's saying there too heavy to run quick times at that hill climb. then we got within half a second of the record. damn rednecks.

The sound of Pauls car is very hard to explain, sortof sounds like an RB but almost sounds like a SR20 with a screamer pipe mixed with RB engine note.

i know that explanation doesn't do it justice but it sounds wicked in real life.

goes ok too lol

[Marko R1]

I'd be interested to know what holds the record and its power to weight ratio? Never underestimate the mighty godzilla MWAAAHAHAHA

[Rolls]

whats the issue, I thought it was mandatory to do a stauncher burnout at hill climbs?

[DVS JEZ]

not at the redneck hill climb event.

the current record is set by an evo lancer from europe that has won pikes peak, ran 23.88 and i ran 24.51 from memory or there abouts in my almost stock GTR

[Rolls]

hahaha take that rednecks

what was the average type of car at the event?

[Piggaz]

I would almost go out and say big big balls is not whats needed here. I think my best last time was 24.72.... but I was having traction issues in 3rd gear. Just couldnt put it to the ground! So much fun though

[DVS JEZ]

yep your right Paul, i definately wasnt having traction issues with mine.

next time im going to run with less fuel, i had a full tank because i trailered my car there, gonna try under half a tank next time. and a few more little tricks

I was speaking to a guy and told me the story about the guy who holds the record. He was saying this guy used to race on ice... ICE. Yeah... we have no hope!

You know that little F1 looking thing. That did a 21.xx. What a weapon it is. Great day out though.

[N1GTR]

Quickest thing was a "Jedi". I remember that cause of star wars haha

Think; bike powered, space frame, looks like mini F1, sequential box, slicks, way more aero than a road car will ever have.....may have a pic somewhere.

I need grip aswel to get closer to it

Jez and Deano I hope you're in for the next one!!
