Spotted (and briefly chatted to) a dude in black QLD registered 32 GT-R on Portrush/Nth East Rds ~3-330pm today. Very nice car. If you're on SAU, sorry I couldn't 'play', the tune is not completely sorted yet - no more than 5krpm for me (~290rwkw so far with cam timing, fuel/timing tuning and more boost to come)

Yes that was me :), your 33 looked awesome, knew you had some serious work done she was lumpin like crazy on idle :)

Spotted an orange R33 with White 5 spoke wheels at the bay. Had a X** series numberplate, looked very clean.

Also spotted a black R33 4door on Tapleys hill Rd (think?) looked stock and clean.

Spotted a silver R34 GTS? May have been just a GT, (looks exactly like Evil34's avatar.) pulled over on the side of south road last night (friday) around 5.40ish, was still in the car so you were either finished talking to the cop or you had just got pulled over, saw a VN wagon also pulled over down furthur on south road, must've been out in force last night. Been seeing a few 32 GTS'ts also, driving to work in the morning, I drive a blue R32 GTR if your on here >_< - One thursday morning and one friday morning.

That was me pulled over by the local police for giving a little chirp of my tyres coming out of the vic hotel bottle shop. The car stalled as i was being lazy with the twin plate and then traffic was coming so had to move quickly and the tyres chirped as i was on the grate as i took off. They wanted to take my car off of me for 72 hours and now i have a $128 fine for excessive noise and still have my car. I also now have massive gutter rash on the passenger side rim due to being pulled over in a ditch, i am so not happy. It is BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
