Wasnt in my car tho, so ya didnt miss me, I was in marion carpark in that corner near sturt road with all the bogan commodores, probly didnt see them as ya said you couldnt see much, going up the end of greenhill road into the hills sucked with the sun, was a nice drive upto mt lofty, bit cold up there tho.

Spotted later last night at around 12.15 at west lakes shopping centre a white R32 GTR with what looked like BB or CC plates, looked and sounded very nice, should have stopped with all the holdens, i would have said hi. And then heading home along lonsdale h/w a yellow R33 gts't with white rims, i was the passenger in the white vn commodore that went past you acouple of times. Nice looking car.

Went out in the GTR today with the wife and daughter to semaphore for a walk on the beach and some fish and chips.

Spotted a purple R33GTR turning of main north rd with silver 6 spoke rims but my brain wont let me remeber where. LOL

Spotted 2 red evo's (sorry not lines) , 1 on main north at macyntire rd intersection and the other on anzac raceway.

We obviously headed down toward the bay afterwards but it was a nightmare with the tour down under going on so went down to brighton instead. Spotted a silver R33GTR sitting at anzac and tapley's intersection . Nice rims on the car.

Also spotted a white R32GTR going the opposite way on anzac dragway on the way home. Nice day alll in all. :)

Saw me ... hitting a fox at 80kph on the Copper Coast Highway at 11:20pm last night ... :):thumbsup:

Pictures for anyone who cares ..

Anyone got a Nissan/OEM R34 front-bar they're trying to get rid?

spewing mate. that's an odd looking hole it made :S

Well, it popped the factory R34 vent out - which is what the hole is (thankfully managed to find it in the pitch dark laying at the side of the road a little further up past the deceased fox - Made me glad that I always carry a maglite in the car).

Having driven around to various repair places today, the damage sounds like it's fixable - but not really that cheap - $700-800+ to repair and paint.

I've managed to find a new bar for $350 shipped from interstate that's silver and *possibly* in the right color, which is cheaper than any of the wreckers I've found with one locally (475-500+) which haven't been in silver.

If it isn't the right color and needs painting that'll probably be another $300+...

Hopefully I can get it all done and dusted for less than $800; I guess we'll see. This fox thing is turning out to be a bit expensive! :P

    • 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.
