*What Should We Feature Next On LAUNCH CONTROL?!* 🔥

RB is one of the best sounding engines period. I've been team RB from the day I learned about it. Hopefully one day I'll get to drive one

the magnificent r34 ...the japanese muscle car (but unlike its american counterparts, it didnt get scared when it saw a corner) ...thank u grand turismo!

[LordHolley]

I was in the fortunate position to own an R34 for about 8 years, very built, amazing car. The GTR came out, bought one, so I had an R34, and an R35 at the same time. After 6 months, I sold the R35 (honestly, boring), R34 was so much more fun and engaging....and that wicked sound....so good.

I have a R32 and I once it hits 3000rpm it starts roaring and once it hits 5000rpm it is just magical. The sound, the feeling, the response.. No other car I tried ever gave me this feeling

I currently have a 1992 R32 GTR here in Texas and boy!!! When you match up newer technology turbo with the RB26!!! It's I'm currently pushing about 800 WHP on my with the new Garrett G45-1100 turbo, and I get full boost around the 4k mark. If this was the 90's or even early 2000, these types or turbos would need about 5k to hit full boost.

My R32 GTR with single turboed RB26 is so magical!!!! I love it.

90's japanese engineering, bullet proof engine, insane tuning potential, 10 to 20 years advanced traction control, ... There's no wonders

Gran Turismo 1, 1998, I remember browsing the cars as a young teenager and going "What the hell is a SKYLINE?" Eventually, in 2016, a friend of mine bought one and we road tripped it from Tampa to New Jersey, sharing the driving. It was a life box ticked. R32 GTR, rare case of meeting a hero and being overwhelmingly impressed.

I feel in love with that engine because of Gran Turismo

[kevinhayes]

I wanted the R34 long before the film or game. In the UK it was on the cover of Max Power

[nismo]

You said it perfect. RB has so much more character. JZ fans can knock on it all they want but the history of the RB just makes the sound even sweeter. RB powa

Gtr in real life: freaking fast
Gtr in initial d: understeer, understeer everywhere

[CaptainRudy]

RB26DETT with HKS GTIII big single turbo kit = pure awesomeness

[ricksonchattergoon]

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.

[markreyna]

Gran Turismo introduced me to the Supra and Skyline. The memories, buying me one in a couple years.

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 R33 skyline is my personal favorite.

[AndrewRS]

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 YouTube 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.

fell in love with the rb and 2jz from fast and furious and 2fast. seeing them build the supra and seeing brian pull up in his gtr i thought bro was so mf cool 😂🔥

[Paul_BNR]

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.
