I like it :rofl:

Altho ide be a little :D at a 10.9 from 405 Kw at the wheels

Besides their weight, and lack of sports car looks, there pretty cool

-10.9 was done on slicks too

It still amazes me how advanced japanese engines are, the XR6T is a 4.0 L turbo.

Making 250kw.

GTR engine is only 2.6, and is very close to 250kw, even tho its stated to be 206

Bring on the new GTR! 300kw from a 3.2L :aroused:

You’re comparing a motor that has been in production for maybe a year to a motor that has been around for how many years?

Development takes time and dollars. Because a motor makes xx hp/ci, doesn’t make it more technologically advanced than another. Otherwise a 350 chev would be one of the most advanced motors when it comes to hp/ci.

Upset at 10.9 from 405rwkw? Who cares how much power he made. It’s a brand new ute and it ran 10.9. Bloody good effort.

Looking on the bright side of things, I'd bet my chances on NOT getting pulled over in the XR6 T Ute, than if I were in the Skyline. But can the XR6 take corners?? Either way, apparantley these ford straight sixes are awesome, I have a mate who's building one of these in a 64~Mustang, they're plan is to get Low 10's, and hopefully in the RH-Nines.

I've driven a BA XR8, and it actually cornered a lot better than I thought it would. But even with 240kw or whatever it is (it was stock including suspension), it felt like an absolute slug power-wise due to the excessive weight.

If someone gave me a 10 second XR6T, I wouldn't complain. I'd even drive it proudly and stick a baby seat in the back :D However, that doesn't mean I'd ditch the Skyline or even swap my car preferences. I don't care if the Falcon had twice as much power as the Skyline, it just can't make up for style.

they dont just throw an engine together, it would have been in development for years.

the point is that the rb26dett came out in 89 (could be earlier) and compared to a new age engine that is supposed to be the best new technology it still matches up while be a smaller capacity. same for the 1jz and 2jz. therefore it goes to show just how far ahead the japanese are than the rest of the world. also that that an engine can be in production for 15 years and still be one of the best around.

also that doesnt look like a std turbo to me.

from all that ive heard the std turbo is quite small.

im probably wrong but i cant imagine ford building a top mount turbo on their cars

People (after market tuners) have only had the engine to play with/modify for 12 months. Like you said, RB26 came out in 89. Many more years of aftermarket tuning have gone into it. How much off the shelf gear can you buy for a RB26 compared to a ford turbo motor? Combinations are well documented for rb26’s you know what works and what doesn’t. With the fords, its never been done before. Nice effort I think.

Im not bagging the rb26, just pointing out that this guys work is a great effort.

the xr6 turbo supposbly has one of the biggest stock turbo's to come out of the factory.

heres a link to a phase kits for the xr6 turbo. the phase 3 runs a 10.98 sec @ 124.87 mph

there making a phase 4 kit soon.

they run a GT40 from the factory, quite large indeed.

    • Thanks! Will get it looked at before winter 🥶 other than that she's a mint ride love it aye 
    • FWIW a lot of the local owners that do a big build tend to have cars that are perpetually broken. 
    • I just got this system but haven’t installed yet I got a Moroso sealed box (defect reasons) which will be set up same as their pic The quality is high grade, the correspondence I had with the owner (former head designer for Rockford Fosgate) was unbelievable, guiding me with what I needed. Even told me not to buy some things as it could be sorted in a different way at his loss. Just a bit of a bite with the exchange rate and don’t purchase gear in 1 hit that goes over $1,000 au, lol I forgot!  
    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I eliminate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for? (Apple car play? Android air play)? so If I swapped head units to save using a band expander, I’d likely lose those better features to have an oem Unit operational. Better to use a band expander and retain AirPlay options and newer version of head unit     provably best to band expand it, and focus on the nav unit. th isn’t  a big deal/ would be cool to have it working  from what I can tel we use a PAL Signal and Japan uses a NTSC signal  I don’t know if there’s a co better or if the screen only reads NTSC, or if it’s the tv module that needs replacing… no big deal don’t need it but more of a curiosity thing on that!   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
