so whats RB mean?

 

That's the designation from Nissan for the engine, kinda like 13B-REW.

 

lol, I would love to see you bridge ported race engine last half as long as that RB engine lasts.

 

You might have me there, lol, but our engines are cheaper to rebuild....

 

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.

 

I guess you have not been around a lot of high powered rb's then.
What's the first weak link? Or yes the POS. factory oil pump.

 

Too bad in real life dyno sheets don't make a car move.
RB's+Big turbos= Lead sleds.
They need a 2 mile tunnel in japan to get up to speed.

 

maybe the turbo/cam combo is not the best , if you read the post everybody says its lazy which i think its true

 

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.

 

It probally runs 13s and it only takes third gear to spool up unlike a 13B.

 

^+1 lol

 

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.

 

Ahh snap!! He's from the great state of WI. I may have to try and get a hold of this fella. Great swap, not a rotary, but still a nice swap.

 

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.
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

 

Yes, RB stands for Race-Build

 

Yeah you make a point but most people are shitting on the RB26 in general.

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.

 

Two of the best professional drivers from JGTC!?! And the RX-7 walked away from the GT-R in and out of corners with ease.

 

Any lightweight car will do that in corners.

But look at the overall race, the cars are still close together when the race is over. Hence the whole point in touge.

 

holy ****. that is love.

 

What was the hp difference between these cars?

I know the gtr was 600ps. What was the hp of the 7?

 

IN the touge battle??

380.

And the GTR only had 600 using high boost which was used like twice in the entire battle.

 

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

 

Rb = Racing Beat!!!
