20 years doesn't mean 20 years to develop a more powerful engine, there's more to it than that. Any manufacturer, even Daihatsu could put a 220kw N/A 2 litre engine in the thing if they really wanted to, but it means more money on production costs and less fuel efficiency. But try passing in the RB20DET under today's emission standards and you would be laughed at!

And for that matter, 20 years prior to the R32 GTS-T was the TA22 GT which weighed in at around 900kg and made 93kw from a 1.6 litre N/A engine...

I think you'll find this car to be positioned with similar performance to other sports cars within similar price ranges. They may also be making space for more powerful versions of the engine down the track, giving marketing something to keep pushing the product.

I know an rb20 would pass emissions the s15 in 1999 didn't even pass American emission standards hense why they never got it

I just expect a 'sports' car to have a little more power

really just depends on the price if the ft86 is around $30k for the na model as people have been quoting then, it will be decent but if it's closer to $60k, I don't see why you wouldnt just spring for a 370z or skyline v series

im a limo driver tomorrow daytime for stakes day or whatever it is.. gonna be cruising around in a 300c lol.

sat night im free though.. pm me your number and i'll cruise up with you if Ive got time.

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
