im asking this because of the fuse that you can pull on the R32 that makes it rear wheel drive if i am not mistaken

as the same goes for the R34

Man, your on it huh? too bad the R33 isnt the same..no matter what you do, some tourque always makes its way to the front..so you have to remove the fron drive shaft to go RWD(as we all know, this is for GT-R's)

Wouldent the bigger heavier engine make for more understeer off throttle?

maybe, but in some cases, the heavier weight on the front wheels(if the wheels are big enough) makes for more grip(well, usually only happens with slicks)...but i think a 240 would be less tail happy at any moment with all that weight(as if the KA is heavy enough).

a RB is a heavy engine also, usualy more weight in front equals more understeer.

the RB's arent that much heavier than the KA or an SR really. the RB20 weighs a mere 70pounds more, which can be evened out by moving the battery to the trunk and removing AC. they give a lot more power as well, making getting the tail end to slide much easier. everyone is going RB these days. i'm sticking with the underestimated CA18DET

Rb 70 pounds more? HAHA!! you about 170 pounds more...luckily half of its in the beefier tranny...stll, when u have that weight in front on a car like a 240, the tail is gonna be harder to slide out, even with the more power...

and you know this how? i know someone who actually weighed one and compared it to the KA you ass. why dont you worry about getting a nissan before worrying about how much an RB weighs.
