Oct 3, 2008 - a skyline with a v8 is pretty nuts. But a mustang with an rb26.... Nah

plastikseraph Says:

Oct 3, 2008 - lol, good one gilhooley28.

tuned4life Says:

Oct 4, 2008 - wtf why v8 with skyline just keep the rb26dett orso

gilhooley28 Says:

Oct 4, 2008 - v8s tend to develop lots of low down torque which is perfect for drifting.

tuned4life Says:

Oct 4, 2008 - yeah ok that's treu but if you tune youre car good for drifting you can have a rb26dett with a lot of low down torque a hard mid range puch and thats it

gilhooley28 Says:

Oct 4, 2008 - yeah very true. its cool to be different though...

tuned4life Says:

Oct 4, 2008 - yeah thats treu to but in my eyes you better keep an jap with jap parts and musle with musle and so on but i think its cheaper for a company that havent as much money say like tanabe orso

Oct 5, 2008 - no matter what you do to a RB26 you wont get the instant response of V8 Torque. This engine has around 400lb/ft 540NM @ 2000rpm, peaking at 480lb/ft. The car also won the next, and final, round of the EDC. Apex Performance & KSport FTW!!

Oct 5, 2008 - dude that car sounds so sexy

NISSANSKYLINEGTRBNR Says:

Oct 5, 2008 - very true but the 6 cyl. rb's can have alot more torque cuz they have VALVE TIMING which is high torque @ low speeds and then as the RPM builds boost from the turbochargers spools and you get more torque.

tuned4life Says:

Oct 6, 2008 - yes it can if you tune it right and mabye not the instant reponse but some thing like it

smonkeysxoc Says:

Oct 6, 2008 - I think the results speak for themselves. 3 EDC Wins from 6 rounds .... Lets see how the car goes at the Red Bull World drift championships in the US mid November.

tuned4life Says:

Oct 7, 2008 - yeah ok i didnt mean it wasnt good orso

Oct 10, 2008 - NICE

dan40oooo Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - Some Big Bad Turbo/s,some Valve Timing...Some extra loads /:D/ of cash and u have an Incredible MONSTER!U can actually feel the torque of this RB26...AWSM video :P

ApexPerformance Says:

Oct 31, 2008 - The V8 engine in the Skyline is a full race spec unit with dry sump system, forged steel crank, forged pistons, steel rods, aluminium heads etc. It cost £9k for the lump alone. Money wasnt the issue. Torque, drivebility and relaibility is what its all about.
