I forgot to mention the 2.8L stroker. That also should of been standard and not the 2.6.

And the Idea of the Rb26 was probably was being worked in 87-88 but was refined and produced to GTR spec in 89.. What i mean by stage 2 is yes the ecu was tuned more then the average tune. Yes the Rb26 can be tuned slightly and make more gains and it could also be tuned again to make more gains. Dont know what the limit is before you need extra parts. What im saying is the VR was probably tuned more then the Rb26 straight off the line. who knows. And yes it can be further tuned to make more gains aswell.

Why is it that the 180km cluster was inplemented into the Older GTR cars and not the newer ones? Did the law of speed change over the eyars which allowed them go harder with the factory tune?

dude, every car sold in japan has a 180km/h speed LIMIT and as such a 180km/h maximum on their speedo. that includes the R35 GTR too...

I'm trying to help but getting close to giving up. all this stuff about the R35 being tuned hard and thus doesn't have as much potential is just nuts.

for starters look at the facts.

RB26 produces 280hp from the factory (as per the japanese manufactures agreement of the day)

VR38 produces nearly 500hp from the factory.

2.6 vs 3.8L

I6 vs V6

wet sump (and fragile at that) vs semi-dry sump

5 speed synchro box vs rear mounted 6 speed DSG transaxle

no VCT vs VCT

there are so many more but the fact is the VR38 has plenty of potential. have a look at how many VR38s can easily produce 800hp then see how hard it is to get a GENUINE 800hp out of an RB26. it's not easy.

I understand the VR has much more adjustments and ALot of potential, Just saying from the weight ratio point of view, and the ammount of tuning they did at the end of the production line. Dont worry about it im just curious about things LOL

Anyways Who knows what they did in the factory and what tune they did and comparing the ratio to the Rb26 what was tuned more i dont know. Im just guessing because the laws were different before.

they made their new race engine 2.6L to compete in a certain cc class because the 2.4l(iirc) just wasn't making what they wanted in the cc class it would have been in.

Oh and everything else you said in that post was gibberish.

How long have you been into skylines?

I meant the Car is much lighter not the engine.

Spool does it for 9k, I wonder how those strokers will go with the -5 and how responsive they will be. And the petrol usage difference..

Have you got a website i can check this out? Is it advertised?

well when people say spool rb34, have a big guess at what you might type into Google to find such a product??

R35 is just better in all ways.

But ill take an old modified datsun chassis running an RB any day of the week over a VR R35

I had a guess and it was such an amazing guess i actually typed spool rb34. And have a guess what came up the spool website and have another guess what i found in that website F**k all about rb34dett stroker engine for 9k. Mad guessing ay . your turn to do some guessing guess what that link is for the 9k engine and paste in here :/

when i say word on the street, i mean word on the street.

in as my mate contacted them and was given a quote for a bottom end.

if you are that interested, how about you simply contact them and enquire for yourself!

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
