RB30e - it put Nissan Australia on the map. Even if it took a Holden to do it.

failing that, CA18DET. the pinny's best friend.

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so f**king temperamental.

just for the sake of being boring, i'd say the ka24e turbo :P but only cause thats what i'll be running ;)

but out of all seriousness, i'd have to say the fj24.. as found in the 1982 nissan 240RS

engine: FJ24 2340cc DOHC 16 valve four cylinder
power: 177kw @ 7200rpm
torque: 235Nm @ 6000rpm
compression ratio: 11.0:1

sr20det's are over rated. they're good, but they get too many people thinking that they're the greatest engine on earth

wow i thought i was the only one who thought they were over rated. good engine but really they are way too common for my liking. if u want 2 litre turbo go rb20 or fj20


i think the VRH35L was the fastest Engine nissan produced. I remember reading that somewhere. i have the figures on the stock setup for it.

Power : 417.6 kw / 560 bhp @ 6800 rpm    
Torque : 637.23 nm / 470 ft lbs @ 4400 rpm    
Bhp / Liter : 160.23 bhp per litre

although the N1 rb26dett out of the r34 gtr Nur
Power   208.8 kw / 280.0 bhp @ 6800 rpm    
Torque   392 nm / 289.1 ft lbs @ 4400 rpm    
Bore   86 mm / 3.39 in

but this engine had to be downtuned to 280bhp to be legal to sell in japan. With alittle tuning it could exceed 480bhp. Pitty only 1000 of the GTR Nurs were ever released.

Mine would be the RB30E, had a Skyline Silhouette and just felt that it was a sweet, sweet engine.

What in heck did the VRH35L get shoehorned into?
209rwkW stock ... yes, it's a U12!!

Browny, there are 2 variations...

1. GRX-3
2. GRX-3 KAI

GRX-3 KAI = DOHC 12 cylinder, twin cam, 48 valve V12, MFI, dry sump rated at 660hp used in the Nissan R383.

This is a R383:




Here's some info on it that I can't understand (in Japanese I think):
