Vn 3.8 Stroked To A 4.0 Engine In My 32r


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

i've been scratching my head for the past 3 years, and the times come. I've just sourced my first VN 3.8 engine and wanna put it into my r32 skyline gtr vspec II. The guy i bought the engine off said he'd be happy with a straight swap for the rb26 aslong as i did all the labour in taking the engine out and delivering it to his door, i think i won the deal :thumbsup: The gearbox was making weird noise whenever u put the clutch in anyway, now i've got a fully tricked 2stage auto thanks to Preston Automatics and diffs. Also looking at putting a 9" diff. Just wanna know if anybody has ideas on who would make custom mounts for all this gear.

Also, swapped my Motec for a flashed VN ECU, apparently made 102kw at the flywheel and the guy i got the engine off, swapped my brembos for his VT calipers (ss). My cousins also got a gtr and is looking at swapping for a Mazda Bravo engine to drop into his 32, thinks his gonna beat me down the straight :)

Lastly, looking at fitting monaro tail lights and headlights, wondering if anybody knows who makes custom guards for this.

Thanks guys,

Ali

LOL the noise in the gearbox was prob some kinda of heavy duty clutch hahahahaha

each to their own but 10k or so on a 26 would have been a better choice in my opinion.

Noise in the gearbox when you step on the clutch probably wouldn't be a clutch.. lol

It would be a thrust bearing if your on the clutch, or a spigot if your off the clutch.

thats what i meant but its late and u got my point :)

Did you get one of their big stickers to put across the rear window?

Those stroked VN motors go alright.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
