Yep- that Makotos car. There is a long story associated with the car... Some problems with Hiro and Motorex.... as usual.

Heres the car at RB- putting a twin plate Nismo clutch in it.

Probably one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen...

That is one car that I doubt I'll ever have the luxury of driving... Let alone seeing. Ahhh O well... Im a BNR32 guy

Just another Skyline....... if you guys are ever out in the LA area - make sure you contact RB... swing by. Lots of GT-R's there now....

All kinds of stuff being worked on. Do-Luck R32 , Veilside widebody R32, couple or 3 other R32's. Couple of R33's. 927 rwhp R32. Big Bird. Should be a racing R34 there soon too.. even a couple of Hondas , S14 , and a Typhoon or two.

I'll have to do that when Im out there this summer Sean.

I've wanted to see Big Bird for a few years... I've got to make sure to bring lots of film.

whats RB is thant RB motoring??

ZedEx · #52 02-06-2005, 06:50 PM

RB is what engine was in Skylines from 1989-2002 (and a few before hand... Correct me if Im wrong).

GTRs had RB26DETT

RB = Factory Code... Rumored to stand for Racing Built
26 = 2568cc
D = DOHC (Dual Over Head Camshafts)
E = ECCS (Electronic Concentrate Control System)
T = Twin
T = Turbochargers

Other engines were RB20DET, RB25DET, RB30E, etc and they all break down the same way code wise.

RB Motoring's name is playing off of the engines rumored code name... Racing Built Motoring, Racing Bred Motoring... Get the picture?

Yes a play off the RB26..... took a little while to come up with a name that had a good catch...

Jack came up with the name and we all liked it.

thats a way to get noticed, with the company name running off the car the problly specilaze in. I know u guys i have been giveing me a hard time, i have learned not to count ur pistons before the race (i was tring to play off/ dont count your eggs before they hatch/) the day i ever own a sky u guys will be the first

(zedex, thanks for the addvice on the puncuation. i will try not to sleep during english and learn to spell better too)
and zedex i might take ur advice on the s14 and a RB engine

jcsaleen · #56 02-07-2005, 07:18 PM

Its ok everyone thinks the same way when they see the skyline. EVERYONE at one point or another has thought they could get a GTR here. your not the only one so dont beat ur self up for it. Its done and now you know so move on and learn, but still post here.

theenlightement · #57 02-07-2005, 07:34 PM

o and look at my new signature

ZedEx · #58 02-07-2005, 08:23 PM

Yea I would suggest the RB swap...

My buddy picked one up, already built, for $15,500. With modifications under the hood, and on the body.

He got it dyno tuned the same day he got it, and its running absolutely amazing now.

He's beaten JZA80's with that thing

What did he have it swapped into?

ZedEx · #60 02-08-2005, 01:58 PM

1995 S14 with a JDM front end conversion, and a very clean body kit... Only thing was the 'dorifto' style CF Wing on the back... Looked ok, but a bit much for my liking.

I've only been taken for a ride in it once, and when the ride was over, I was laughing and shaking with excitement... Not many cars do that do me

The car is extremely fun... And Im pretty sure it could ram heads with a few Skylines. And guess what... You dont have to pay an additional $16,000 to get it on the road
