[R32_Skyline_Canada]

thanks for the info, the rb30dett surprised me, didn't know it was so powerful, what kind of cars have those engines (in canada/north america)

[Murphy]

None of the RB engines were ever officially imported to North America. The RB30DET is a custom-made hybrid engine that was never in any production cars.

J

[Sephirius]

any real difference in the R32's RB26DETT and that on newer skylines (other than the cover)?

[icydude]

no basicly the same engine, also the rb30 is produced my nissan for racing. but it is available to the public as a short block.

[TeeDub]

With each model change, the RB26 got more torque. That would lead me to believe that, unrestricted, they would also make more power. Call it technological advancement, better efficiency, whatever, they made them better over the span of 10 years.

[Sephirius]

thanks for the info.

[reality_V2]

i've just got a questiion about the rb26dett engines. they're I-6's right, because everybody says the 6th cylinder always runs lean, but is it a 6cylinder?

[JZ]

:roll:

Are you a troll?

Here, this might be easier:
R U a troolxors? OMFG WTF LOL ROFLAO!!!!1111!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is this a serious question??

[reality_V2]

my bad, sorry, i just do't think. but yeah

[BigBlueR32]

All RB engines are inline 6's that means.. every skyline from 1989-2002 used an inline 6 RB engine... (theres a couple R32s that used inline 4's.. but those are gay..)

JZ you crack me up dude...

[icydude]

there was a 4 door skyline that used a ca18de right?? maybe.
