Great! The most outstanding thing about the RB that you forgot to mention is that nissan designed and built it themselves. Not outsource it then copy the design.
Straight 6 piston engines win in terms of inherent balance and smoothness, but V6 designs have the edge in structural rigidity and space efficiency, at the cost of requiring more complexity to achieve similar effective smoothness. A major reason why Formula 1 chose V engines over straight engines is their inherently better suitability for application as stressed members.
The only thing i wish you mentioned was, the skyline was so fast. It destroyed the competition they made the skyline run restrictor plates to try and slow it up. The Nismo can working within the rules and overcoming the restrictors rules. They kept throughout handicaps at the car. Nothing worked until it was banned. I recommend going to high performance academy TH-cam Channel. There is a awesome interview with the team owner about the skyline at the time. They even show some cool things about the actual skyline that raced.
even after 11 years, every ride with my r32gtr makes me happy. I've been to the Hockenheimring and Nordschleife with it quite a few times. in germany they have increased in value a lot, but i would never sell them anyway.

RB sounds amazing, it's reliable. And while the 2J makes more power reliably it's way too heavy, there's a reason Toyota didn't even use the 2J in race cars...
The biggest complaint I've heard about the R35 is of it being numb. It's blistering fast and a marvel of engineering but there's not much feeling. The communication between the driver and the car is muted by the hundreds of computer controls and assists. You're driving a cat that feels like a simulation. To me, the R34 will always reign supreme. The 32 and 33 may be nearly identical mechanically, but the 34 brought it all together in one of the best looking cars of all time. Just wish I had the slightest chance of ever affording one.
I’ve been lucky enough to have driven an r32 get, a few r33 gts wi modified rb25s, an 700bhp r33 gtr, a700 bhp autech r34 and a 1200+bhp r34 gtr. And the both r34 were outrageous the 1200bhp was just as far as I reckon any car needs to because you just can’t use it on the road except for very very rare and short periods. The autech is the 4 door gtr and was a thing of extreme beauty but for me the r33 gtr was the best compromise in terms of feeling and not just a masterpiece of computer aids making it too easy to drive at extreme speeds in straight line but also in the bendy bits like absolutely ridiculous that it not even a challenge at all and just done something that even a legit super car might struggle to actually achieve and it was nothing
Nissan in the 90s was killing it. I had 240SX with a KA24, handle well, but slow AF. It got flooded, got another 240SX with a red top SR20DET and I loved the car. It had lighted flywheel and a different manifold with a electronic boost controller, the thing had very low lag and pulled pretty hard for stock turbo. I seriously miss that car
dude the VR38 is the most dominating engine of all time. RB doesn't even come close. these boys with their r35 at tx2k on fl2k wipe the floors with any other car. hell even underground racing with their tt lambos cant touch the GTR,
The vr38 is 20 years newer and is part of the “GTR” family. And for the record. The fastest gtr in the world is a legitimate r32 skyline streetcar (prostreet) called jun2. It has went 6.37 @224mph on the old setup and still runs awd, IRS, radials, full interior and FULL factory chassis (including radiator support).
I love driving my Skyline. I swapped it over from a RB26 to a RB30/26. Basically, just a 3.0 block with a 2.6 head. The added displacement with the AWD is a perfect combination, just wish they came from factory like that.
Is it really worth it. I also have a RB26. I have thought about going 30 bottom end. I just do see it finically practical. Just rev the RB26 so make the same power. Just no bottom end power. What are your thoughts mate. Would love to hear it!
@@Andrew260RS I mean, I've seen a notable difference from 2.6 to 3.0. Not just in power but also in drivability. We here in America believe in "no replacement for displacement"; in this case, I agree. I feel the additional torque not just down low but also in the mid and high ranges. Any turbo setup comes onto boost faster and more consistently. The transient response, meaning on throttle, off, and then back-on is better as well. To me, it's just a better overall experience. Also, RB30 blocks are a fraction of the cost of RB26's, and if you want a 24U block, forget about it. I think it's the hidden gem of the Nissan RB line. Not enough people know about it, and even fewer understand. If you can do it, I say go for it! I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I personally would buy a block from billet racing engineering. After building mine, and having all the machine work done; it cost around the same amount as if gotten a billet block. Plus, the benefits from cast iron to aluminum are astronomical. Cheers Mate from the United States!
I have a question. Wouldn't the smaller 2.6 head on the 3.0 block. Raise the compression quite a bit. From what little I know about turbos. You want a lower compression rate. Something like 8.5 to 1. Instead of 12 to 1. With the extra compression. Is there any chance it could cause problems at high boost levels
@Daniel Bryant my RB30 has 8:5:1 pistons in it, so there are no worries. I run 19 psi on low boost, and with my build, I could run 30-45 psi on high boost. But I popped a head gasket and never got the opportunity to optimize and max out my setup. My issue was non-compression related. I am going to build another motor with 9:1 and balance it with methanol. However, If I had unlimited funds, I could build a motor with 12:1 compression on a 98mm turbo. The added compression would severely cut down on turbo lag. I could go billet block with dry deck, with a couple of tricks I know, and that would spool that turbo almost instant. But that's if I had an unlimited budget. I'm not there yet, yet! Good question tho. Keep doing your research.
Rb vs 2j, ls vs anything, cheap wine vs expensive, it’s all the same, yes the 2j/ls/cheap wine are loaded, strong, and popular, but the time, the aroma, the look, the sound, the beauty in design and passion of the craft are what really make them special. The RB isn’t the strongest or bulletproof, but God Damn is it sexy through and through.
Barras are heavy and they’re in an extremely heavy platform that’s slow. Skylines absolutely dominate xr6’s. And the 2jz is a stronger counterpart to the Barra.
If nissan are remanufacturing that engine and their could be a possibility that the next gtr will be powered by an inline six like the supra has yeah it's a bmw but going back to what is supposed to be is damn that would be a defining action that nissan is for the car enthusiast just like what they did to the z it's perfect the ups and downs of that car is perfect.
RB26 sounds the best and seems to be more fun. but i think the 2Jz is more reliable and can definitely handle more power with the stock internals and more power overall. would be cool if nissan could make a new inline 6 similar to the rb26 that would be better than both the previous RB's and also the 2Jz's in every way!
Nissan is "re-making" the RB motor for U.S customers..,the twin turbos will be BIGGER than the early RB motor. Expect the cost well over "50K" for a brand new RB..
@@wesleygriffiths8496 more specifically they're reselling Skyline GT-R R34 for you via Skyline Restoration Program, and despite "restoration program" you can actually request them to source the car for you (with additional cost of course) then you must be guessing why people still waiting for 2025 rather than buy directly from Nissan / Nismo ?? Because the price starts from 400k USD (around 500k USD if you ask them to source the cars). AND that's just the starting price, if you say want to upgrade the engine (RB26DETT N1, RB26DETT R2 or even RB28DETT Z2), or specific paint (Silver Z-Tune, Midnight Purple etc) or any other accessories ( 320km/h Nismo speedometer, etc) then it will go around 1 million USD fast
@@driftking_dg9619 Skyline GT-R R34 was never cheap in the first place. Their original price range starts from 50k USD for base spec, 60k USD for Nur and 125k for Z-Tune. In other words, much more higher than its german rival BMW M3 E46 (unless it's M3 GT-R E46). But it's still much more cheaper than even entry-level exotics such as Ferrari F360 and Lamborghini Gallardo but then you're guaranteed to have a very strong resale value, so you're not losing anything. I mean just look the used price of base Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 and Lamborghini Murcielago of the same year, it's basically priced the same around 150k - 160k USD despite Murcielago is much more rarer (11.000 units vs 5.000 units worldwide) it's because Skyline GT-R R34 is especially much more desireable to most people, even compare to exotics, let alone its cheaper german rival
@@taiminsen8069 well, thanks for your answer first of all. Its kinda funny, because im actually from germany😂. The fact that the e46 is cheaper is well known around here(ill come to that later) so first of all yeah the new prices with the trims are not too much but not cheap either but that makes no difference, because its not the 90s and you cant get an new production model... And appreciation was good the the whole gtr row so the all cost nearly double that... Yeah exotics are more expensive but theyre a whole different "genre" maybe except for the galliardo (prbbly spelled wrong) because its the cheapest and m.ost who buy it tune it so its kinda a tuner car too. The gtr is more like an evo or an sti. Not like an hurracan. So about the e46: i bought a motorcycle recently (and i love it) older model around 1993 and it was kind of a "barnfind", worked perfectly but looked like it was hit by a tank so i kind of restored it... But thats a whole different story. I drive it (even tho im 15 and it has 50hp, cant do that around here, need to be 18) to tuner meets wich are kinda not legal and i see minimum 30 e46s every time and only 1 or 2 are m3s they are rare as hell here (the germans love their cars) and base e46s cost like 5 grand around here, on the other hand m3s in good shape cost 30, 40+ grand. E36s and E46 are really popular but you dont see them as often as you might think

Motive video already has. The 2jz is tronger than than it and more reliable. The rb26 and rb30 are stoneger than it but have their fair share of issues when not fixed. But skylines destroy xr6’s.
The GTR chassis is second to none. You can put a sr20 in a gtr and get the same effect. The chassis is the gem…The sound of the RB is awesome but it’s not better than a 1jz. RB (replace bearings) the 1j can make more power and take more abuse than an RB26. I don’t see how it’s even compared to the 2JZ. Bmw b58 can’t do what a 2j does sbe and that’s 2010+ technology. RB26 is awesome but the jewel is the AWD chassis.

Also, RB30 blocks are a fraction of the cost of RB26's, and if you want a 24U block, forget about it. I think it's the hidden gem of the Nissan RB line. Not enough people know about it, and even fewer understand. If you can do it, I say go for it! I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I personally would buy a block from billet racing engineering. After building mine, and having all the machine work done; it cost around the same amount as if gotten a billet block. Plus, the benefits from cast iron to aluminum are astronomical. Cheers Mate from the United States!
I have a question. Wouldn't the smaller 2.6 head on the 3.0 block. Raise the compression quite a bit. From what little I know about turbos. You want a lower compression rate. Something like 8.5 to 1. Instead of 12 to 1. With the extra compression. Is there any chance it could cause problems at high boost levels
@Daniel Bryant my RB30 has 8:5:1 pistons in it, so there are no worries. I run 19 psi on low boost, and with my build, I could run 30-45 psi on high boost. But I popped a head gasket and never got the opportunity to optimize and max out my setup. My issue was non-compression related. I am going to build another motor with 9:1 and balance it with methanol. However, If I had unlimited funds, I could build a motor with 12:1 compression on a 98mm turbo. The added compression would severely cut down on turbo lag. I could go billet block with dry deck, with a couple of tricks I know, and that would spool that turbo almost instant. But that's if I had an unlimited budget. I'm not there yet, yet! Good question tho. Keep doing your research.
i drove a r32 right hand and it was an awesome car
Rb vs 2j, ls vs anything, cheap wine vs expensive, it’s all the same, yes the 2j/ls/cheap wine are loaded, strong, and popular, but the time, the aroma, the look, the sound, the beauty in design and passion of the craft are what really make them special. The RB isn’t the strongest or bulletproof, but God Damn is it sexy through and through.
As much as I love the 2jz and the rb26 but the ford barra 6 is just to close to my heart
Barras are heavy and they’re in an extremely heavy platform that’s slow. Skylines absolutely dominate xr6’s. And the 2jz is a stronger counterpart to the Barra.
@@lennixsingh626 Barra's still make more power reliably then both those engines.
@@stuckinadream9538 they do it easier. Not more reliably.
If nissan are remanufacturing that engine and their could be a possibility that the next gtr will be powered by an inline six like the supra has yeah it's a bmw but going back to what is supposed to be is damn that would be a defining action that nissan is for the car enthusiast just like what they did to the z it's perfect the ups and downs of that car is perfect.
NOT reman - manufacturing new. ZERO chance for a i6 in the future
My father in the 70s sale the first skiline a Datsun 240kgt is a Four Door sedan.the stering weel is in the left SIDE🙂
🚀🚀⤴️⤴️📩✍️.....
The engine of the 240kgt is the same of the z432🙂
RB26 sounds the best and seems to be more fun. but i think the 2Jz is more reliable and can definitely handle more power with the stock internals and more power overall. would be cool if nissan could make a new inline 6 similar to the rb26 that would be better than both the previous RB's and also the 2Jz's in every way!
Nissan is "re-making" the RB motor for U.S customers..,the twin turbos will be BIGGER than the early RB motor. Expect the cost well over "50K" for a brand new RB..
2J is really big and heavy. Toyota did not even use it in race cars.
@@keckchan7156 are they only changing the turbos and that's it?
@@littlenismo oh wow. I didn't know that
@@wesleygriffiths8496 more specifically they're reselling Skyline GT-R R34 for you via Skyline Restoration Program, and despite "restoration program" you can actually request them to source the car for you (with additional cost of course)
then you must be guessing why people still waiting for 2025 rather than buy directly from Nissan / Nismo ?? Because the price starts from 400k USD (around 500k USD if you ask them to source the cars). AND that's just the starting price, if you say want to upgrade the engine (RB26DETT N1, RB26DETT R2 or even RB28DETT Z2), or specific paint (Silver Z-Tune, Midnight Purple etc) or any other accessories ( 320km/h Nismo speedometer, etc) then it will go around 1 million USD fast
That's sweet - long live the King!
I actually just bought and rb for my car so happy to drop it in soon!!
GT- R is a very great car for the price and the engine tuning
Yeah 90k is a greAt price😂
🚀🚀⤴️⤴️📩✍️.....
@@driftking_dg9619 given it was faster than the supercars of the day it was steal. And this reflects the appreciation of older models today.
@@driftking_dg9619 Skyline GT-R R34 was never cheap in the first place. Their original price range starts from 50k USD for base spec, 60k USD for Nur and 125k for Z-Tune. In other words, much more higher than its german rival BMW M3 E46 (unless it's M3 GT-R E46). But it's still much more cheaper than even entry-level exotics such as Ferrari F360 and Lamborghini Gallardo
but then you're guaranteed to have a very strong resale value, so you're not losing anything. I mean just look the used price of base Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 and Lamborghini Murcielago of the same year, it's basically priced the same around 150k - 160k USD despite Murcielago is much more rarer (11.000 units vs 5.000 units worldwide)
it's because Skyline GT-R R34 is especially much more desireable to most people, even compare to exotics, let alone its cheaper german rival
@@taiminsen8069 well, thanks for your answer first of all. Its kinda funny, because im actually from germany😂. The fact that the e46 is cheaper is well known around here(ill come to that later) so first of all yeah the new prices with the trims are not too much but not cheap either but that makes no difference, because its not the 90s and you cant get an new production model... And appreciation was good the the whole gtr row so the all cost nearly double that... Yeah exotics are more expensive but theyre a whole different "genre" maybe except for the galliardo (prbbly spelled wrong) because its the cheapest and m.ost who buy it tune it so its kinda a tuner car too. The gtr is more like an evo or an sti. Not like an hurracan. So about the e46: i bought a motorcycle recently (and i love it) older model around 1993 and it was kind of a "barnfind", worked perfectly but looked like it was hit by a tank so i kind of restored it... But thats a whole different story. I drive it (even tho im 15 and it has 50hp, cant do that around here, need to be 18) to tuner meets wich are kinda not legal and i see minimum 30 e46s every time and only 1 or 2 are m3s they are rare as hell here (the germans love their cars) and base e46s cost like 5 grand around here, on the other hand m3s in good shape cost 30, 40+ grand. E36s and E46 are really popular but you dont see them as often as you might think
Dude, it didn’t take a movie for me. I dealt with some serious drivers in the early 90’s.
This car is tighter than bolts on a new bridge.....!
🚀🚀⤴️⤴️📩✍️.....
I own an r34,
Mine being a GTT with the rb25NEO and even that thing blows me away, would be something else to feel that 26
It doesn’t feel that different from eachother
Run a cold air intake system into a pod box of a RB26 and listen to the turbo spooling. You don't sit in a Skyline you fall into it and You don't drive a RB26 Nissan skyline you experience it . ✌️🤘🇯🇵🇦🇺
I hope they do a modern skyline that’s not an infinity like they did with the new z
The G35 & G37 are Skylines in japan so technically we have "modern" Skylines
@@jordansimon4835 they aren’t really skylines though, just infinity’s that are badged as skylines in Japan. They are more luxury cars than sports cars. I’m talking a throw back car with cool retro styling like the z. That would certainly attract tons of attention
🚀🚀⤴️⤴️📩✍️......
@@spoolysnail32 actually they're are Skylines, especially now the reusing Skyline badge after Infiniti failed. That's why the successor is Skyline V35, V36 and now currently V37
Tard - the G35/G37 WERE SKYLINES. JUST NOT GT-Rs
The Skyline GTR is my absolute favorite supercar. But at the same time, I would argue that the RB26 engine isn't the real reason why it's such a blistering machine: it's the ATTESA ETS system.
Cool presentation buddy,can u do a video on Evo

🚀🚀⤴️⤴️📩✍️.....
Absolutely awesome ❤❤❤
The Aussie designed & built Ford Barra inline 6 turbo. A real engine. 😊
Sadly, you can now get the new BMW M3 for $40,000 less than the GTR. It’s faster than the GTR, has a much nicer interior and so far, has less problems.
You would better hope so when it’s 30 years newer. And it still isn’t as reliable as 2j or RB30. They’re aluminium blocks.
So you using a lot of Australian racing footage. So you should do an episode on the Australian developed ford Barra 6 cylinder super engine.
Motive video already has. The 2jz is tronger than than it and more reliable. The rb26 and rb30 are stoneger than it but have their fair share of issues when not fixed. But skylines destroy xr6’s.
How about toyota's AGE engines next?
🚀🚀⤴️⤴️📩✍️.....
Let me show this to whislindiesel
like german tuner jp said: "The engine is insane but an asshole"
I love my rb26❤
Whistlindiesel enters the chat.
Proud owner off an R34 Rb powered.
I own a Lexus SC 300 with the 2JZ engine. That engine, The GTR V6 has too much potential to decimate all.
My dream car to lay hands on
The GTR chassis is second to none. You can put a sr20 in a gtr and get the same effect. The chassis is the gem…The sound of the RB is awesome but it’s not better than a 1jz. RB (replace bearings) the 1j can make more power and take more abuse than an RB26. I don’t see how it’s even compared to the 2JZ. Bmw b58 can’t do what a 2j does sbe and that’s 2010+ technology. RB26 is awesome but the jewel is the AWD chassis.
Good video
The 2j is not a direct competitor to the RB, is almost 10 years newer. The 7M is RB competition.
Please do one about the Subaru sti! Its my favorite car of all times
Why don't people compare the A80 Supra to the Nissan Z32 300ZX? Apart from the VG30 V6 (which was developed around the same time as the RB26) it bears a lot of similarities to the Supra
It's hard for me to care about a car like the GT-R that hasn't been available in America
No that’s not why it was called Godzilla. We called it Godzilla because it was the monster from Japan. Unstoppable.
Legendary NISSAN engine 👍

The nismo 400r rb-x gt2 engine was the best nissan engine produced. Lol still wouldnt say no to an rb26dett gtr though.
The 400r’s just use an 05U block (skyline gtr 26 blocks) and it’s just stroked to a 2.8.
@@lennixsingh626 i still stand by my statement. Putting out almost 400hp right out of the box in 1996 was a rareity. Its what the RB25DETT should have been.
@@MFfrost85 they were “modified from the box” nismo took them and gave them a little spice, however 400hp is extremely attainable even on a stock rb26. All it’s needs it’s e85 and a tune to hit 400hp.
