if you bought the engine crated from nissan i would imagine it would have its own warranty...i think thats what a20089 was getting at...
Exactly

well call Japan after the car goes on sale and let us all know how you get on sourcing an engine :D

Putting aside the fact that EVERY single one is built by hand, and the fact that each one is built to go into an R35 GTR, which there is a backlog for... do you seriously see them being made available to the public in the next year? I'm guessing you'll be able to buy the block if you're a reputable tuning shop or Nissan affiliate, but other than that your chances are slim to none.

Now combine that with the fact that atm outside of nissan and a select handful of japanese tuning shops, no one in the world knows how to build one of these engines or tune them... and you'll start realising how much of a pipe dream it is.

Great idea in concept, but not practical. I dunno why you'd wanna burden such a state of the art engine with an old R32... for starters where would you mount the gearbox?

do you really think nissan would cover the engine for warranty if you installed it into a car it was not designed for?

i doubt it... you'd need a qualified mechanic to install it into a r35 for the warranty to be covered.

lol

but ull need to be a uptodate qualified nissan mech and installed on nissan premises

I'm not sure the OP really wanted to buy one before they are even released in Australia.....or soon afterwards.

I don't quite understand the negativity, the concept is fine. Obviously a mechanic would likely install the engine anyway.

Whether the engine fits and when you can actually purchase the engine are open for debate, NOT ridicule.

If people can fit V8's into their GTR's, then anything is possible.

for starters where would you mount the gearbox?

what i was thinking exactly... i think the whole approach nissan was trying to get at is porka/ferrari type exclusitivity.

you don't buy these cars to have them cut up and transplanted like regular imports, they ARE the package from factory. sure minor parts here and there, most probably by nismo and most probably an arm and a leg.

The concept isn't fine, it's not practical, logical, ethical, economical and a whole lot of other words ending in 'cal'. Point being read the quote in my signature...

Forget the GTR engine, I'd like to see the 7.0 V8 from the Z06 running a twin turbo or big single setup in a r32-r34 GT-R.

If it could be adapted to the ATESSA-ETS system, that would be a killer combination!

front diff and driveshaft through the sump would be something of a nightmare (i.e- next to impossible)

unless you wanted to by the whole powertrain / drivetrain and suspension, then an engine transplant may not be feasable, although a neat idea.

what you could do is replace the engine, gearbox and other drive components of 'your' car with those of the gtr and shorten the propshafts and 4wd transfer shaft lengths to match your wheelbase.

although it does make things difficult! with the new rear mounted gearbox.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • 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
