uh i don't know too much about cars, but this post confuses me =P

you're talking about replacing the engine right? which defeats the purpose of having a gtr engine in the first place?

if you mean boost, the standard reply i give anyone is 14-15 pounds before the rings/valves etc start taking a beating. If you put any more through you're going to need to upgrade a few bits, not the whole engine

IN TERMS OF STRENGTH..

early r32,r32/33/34 same n1,groupA.

also a old 200k old 32 or 33 block is stronger than a new n1 block. due to the weathering proces of heating up and down for the last 15 years.

you wont have any issues. unless your making in excess of 1000hp. on a block thats been bored out more than 40thou.

splitting blocks is usaly the result of localised hot spots in the cylinders. thats where block preperation comes in to it.

no that's cool, i've never seen anyone concerned with the block before is all, i've seen some crazy power put through those engines, never thought it was an issue =P

i started being concerned when the mechanic told me and was even more surprised coz the place i went to is suppose to be one of the best and everyone told me to go there that they knew what they were on about....

but thanx pplz for the replies excellent people on here.

I ran 2 different blocks a one stage, one was sleeved and the other was an older block from a r32, both have put in excess of 234234 grasshoppers power = wheelspins at 150kph (semi slicks) if I dare to jump on it.

But for general use I can't see problems with RBs in general unless u got other probs ie loose rod bolt of disintegrating big end bearings yadada-yadada, you know what I mean.

u do need to worry about your block if you constantly do 10000rpm launches...

or if your bore your block too much...running stock capacity, your block is pretty much bullet proof..cant see the point of buying a N1 or group A if you dont use your car for drag racing

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.

      When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
