the R32 GTS and GTS-T are RWD, and the GTR & GTS4 are AWD. That one in the picture is a GTS-T

on skylines the motor is long and the flywheel is pretty much in line with the feet. They have the front diff next to the motor with one axle going through the oil pan. Audi has not figured this out, instead opting for 70/30 weight distribution.

^ yeah. GTS4s are pretty cheap too, same engine as the GTS-t (2.0L 6cyl single turbo) but with the AWD drivetrain to add to the thread:  engine from a R33 Skyline 2.5L straight 6 - piston should be at the top of its stroke heh. There was also a chunk of the block missing just under the thermostat housing

That's not true either. Almost all cars were available in AWD in Japan and not necessarily in the top spec models. For instance you can buy a basic 1.5l Lancer with AWD, or a crappy 1.6l Integra

Whitey Ford posted:I thought the GT R32 was RWD? I don't know much about them but I did notice the GT badge on the fender. I don't know about that car specifically, but most models with an engine that has awd/rwd drivetrain option will use the same motor placement for easier logistics, and the front diff usually requires the engine being a bit further up. I was going from the hood hole that the clutch was infront of the bulkhead but who knows!

Toucan Sam posted:I've still got a scar from a torque converter coming apart in a buddies car. The worst was the part about it being an '80 Malibu Classic. It doesn't matter how nice it was or how much money he spent on the engine, it was a Malibu Classic. He jumped on it leaving a light and when it hit second it blew the torque converter apart, took out the tunnel and hot fluid and metal showered the interior. It took a few weeks to fix that car and i was always a bit concerned when i rode in it after that. drat, I've NEVER heard of a torque converter exploding.

It may have been the flywheel taking the torque converter with it but there were parts everywhere and the shop it was towed to said the converter caused the damage. We were lucky the car had only been running a couple minutes so the fluid wasn't up to temp. It was twenty years ago and a lot of stuff has improved on the performance and safety side but high horsepower cars still make me a bit nervous.

Scatter shields and/or bellhousing blankets are practically required when exceeding the OE RPM in large engines.

So many people don't think about the tranny being right next to you in a rwd car but poo poo happens so be safe. Luckily all i got were a few scars but it could have gone a lot worse if the fluid would have been up to temp.

Blowing through a SFI rated blanket is a serious amount of force, those are almost actually bulletproof.

I've seen an auto tranny in a Nova blow and the blanket kept everything out of the cabin. I imagine the same thing would have happened when i was injured if there would have been any type of safety involved.

EightBit posted:The redundant redundancy in this statement makes my brain hurt. Yeh, except it is used to distinguish from mass which does not carry an inertia affecting the motor's running ie: the head, etc. It's redunant phrasing but it's no better or worse than saying something is 'really' unique. Unique is an absolute - it either is or isn't. Still, people use the terminology.

If you're talking about the energy of a moving object, its usually momentum or kinetic energy; I've never seen the term inertial mass. You can't have inertia without mass.

I was about to go all Hulk on you becuase I seemed to remember the crash being caused by an external factor and the tyre bursting was refuted. Then I checked it out and found we're both right. A titanium strip fell of a preceding aircraft and caused the burst tyre, which caused the fuel valve to burst open. Such a very sad day. Having said that, that picture looks far too similar to a F-111 doing a dump-and-burn.
