It sounds sick! Even when it is 'lagging' it's stilling making 350-400 rwhp
I can get over the hole in the hood -especially if they cover the turbo with a cowl.
Very impressive.

RB's+Big turbos= Lead sleds.
They need a 2 mile tunnel in japan to get up to speed.

absolutley true , it takes the engine 10 hours to rev and then it gets into the powerband for about 0.4 seconds and you're done , that translate to shitty drivebility,, the car is also not a drag racer by looking at the front tires, so if it was a circuit racer it need to have midrange power which that engine does not seem to deliver quick enough.

Are you some of you guys kidding??

Thats a 600hp GTR which will out accelerate some of the cars you guys are thinking about.
A 2 mile run to get up to speed? lol
You must be around cars that arent properly built.
A properly built skyline will walk around any FD, on and off the track.
When talking about stock vs stock, your argument stands about FD being a true performer but when you add HP, the FD reaches a limit for driveability and when talking about a 600-700hp skyline, it doesnt match up.

i was talking about the engine in that car , if you hear the engine in that video or even look at that dyno chart ,you'll find that he makes most of his hp up high, that will be good for drag racing which that car is not for.
im not bagging the rb26 im just saying the setup on that fd car is not matching very well

i own a 500 hp 1st gen rx7 that drive even sounds like a normal car and i think if you have equal hp on an fd and gtr , the fd will do circles not the gtr , just because of weight difference.

And you cant compare an FD with the same amount of HP as the GTR if we're talking about modded vs modded, because that totally seperates the argument im trying to make.
You take a GTR with the same power to weight ratio as an FD and it will outperform the FD. A stock GTR and a stock FD and the GTR will outperform it.

Wow, and old *** battle from the hot version dvd.
I actually have that dvd, FD barely won.
And i wouldnt call touge a real competition.
Its not consistent.
A small driver error can put lengths in the car in front of him giving that car the win. That doesnt show much for anything about the car.

RB= Race Bred..... the very first predecessor to the RB was a small L20 I-6 in the GT-R 2000 Hardtop.... made 160hp stock back in the 60's
the Skylines name actually came from Prince Motors which was bought out or merged with Datsun which now Nissan
