they use em in the JGTC skylines , because they make every bit of opwer the RB does, and besides, why not use the fill 3.o liters allowed

JGTC skylines stopped using RB motors when nissan stoped selling R34's. The VQ30DETT they use is a derrivative of a stock production motor used in the current skyline (V35).

nissan is using AWD in their JGTC GT-Rs this year which is pretty cool

yea, years before all they did was have the skyliine 2wd, which didnt really seem fair to the skyline, but it still did pretty well

unfortunalty there is a weight penalty added to cars with AWD but i think the benifits of AWD will make the skylines reign supreme once again (at least added weight never stoped them in the past )

so why discontinue the RB?

[Onizuka]

even since renault took the reigns of nissan, everything has converted to platform sharing, its cheap and efficent. The RB was only used in a few cars, the fewer types of engines nissan has too make, the few factories they have to use and the less money they have to spend.

[iliketocrash]

that's little dissapointing....

yes in a way, however, look at the benefits, im sure most people would love a 35oZ, however need a 4dr or atleast 4 seats, so what do u do? get the G35 sedan/coupe with the same motor and power but you get your seats and or doors
