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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
