R35 Engines?

[342Four]

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...

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

[dan_the_man]

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.

Do you honestly believe that Nissan would even sell you one in the first place?

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?

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.

[ali-turko]

it was just an idea no need to get your nickers in a knot

[Bliksem]

Wait a year or two and no doubt there will be a few GTR wrecks you could possibly source a motor from...

[dan_the_man]

shan raises a good point... where would u put the gear box?

[R-PWR]

^^ ahh u can customise anything these days, besides I wouldnt actually do it but I think its an interesting idea and has raised some discussion.

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.

Adaptor plate for the bellhousing and possibly fit a R32-4 GTR gb I suppose. The clutch and ECU could be a problem though...

[Duncan]

meh just use a big hammer to make room at the rear axle that bit is easy. wonder if it will fit width wise though being 4 cam v6

[ras1983]

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!

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...

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.

Hadnt seen these particular pics before so thought id share them
