I doubt they would sell it to someone if they didn't actually own the new GTR and actually needed the engine to be replaced. I could just see some idiot doing this:

"Hello Nismo? I would like to purchase your new GTR engine so i can put it into my fully hektik VL turbo."

Click-Click, Beep Beep Beep.

"Hello u there? Hello???"

Thats the best part, fully sick vl owners wouldnt be able to afford it, if they could, they would be driving a newer model commodore :P

The VR38DETT sounds like a beast...titanium used extensively so would cost a fortune.

Only thing i dont like is the 7000rpm redline...a GTR motor should rev past 8k im my opinion :P

...hopefully it does and the limiter can be removed.

They don't need any more revs to produce the power they want . Do you know what the 911 tt Porka's redline is ?? 6500 rpm and she goes like the clapers with plenty of torque at 2000 rpm . My guess is this is what Nissan are trying to copy and by the reports we are getting they have done a good job . I wonder if the R will have a dry sump, like the Porka, hold heaps of oil , like the Porkas ..

:P Funny, couple of year ago I saw a VL on ebay with full GTR drivetrain, reserve of $50K. Laugh my arse off, it still looks like a VL and is just as comfortable on the inside. At the time I had a VL and other than the RB30E & gearbox, the quality of the car (esp. the interior) is poo.

this is ridiculous

you think that any motors will be available for non-warranty related repairs inside the time frame of the factory warranty?

reckon you'll just be able to ring up and say "err, yeah, hi- look: the motor in my R35 blew up. pls send me a crate motor so i can install it myself"

unlikely

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
