    true, skylines are slow from the factory but all the rb series motors have the greatest

    tuning potential of almost any engine ever, a car that produces a true 310-300hp at

    the crank take away the lie of 280ps given to japanese manufactuers. the engine with

    rb26 short block handles 600ps and the exvitermini drag r33 is set to hit 1500hp.

    The skyline talked about now is not the street terror it could be, if the owner really

    invested in it that rb25, it could eclipse 800hp.

    There is a reason top secret has chosen the rb26 to power their z33, supra, and

    countless of demo skylines

    Heres the problem with that, you have an 800hp skyline that nobody knows how to work on because of how rare they are. Considering how much the guy drives his skyline I'm sure he wouldn't want to deal with the hassle every time he has to get something fixed. I'm already having that problem with a 400hp G35.

    true that, but you must consider that the vq35 has been around for only like 4 years and while there is aftermarket and tuning support, it still has to grow. the vq's capabilities arn't to that of a 17 year old race breed motor. Finding the tuning for it and spending the money is his business, besides i dont mean he has to im just saying if he invested he could.

    ps. real clean G35 tony

    to all you honda people

    because of the rb short stroke, (its an oversquare engine) the rb can rev

    past 10,000 rpm better than a b16 or b18

    strokes
    rb20-69.7 mm
    rb25-71.7 mm
    rb26-73.3mm
