Sorry all - I have watched this thread appear and grow and I have ground my teeth each time it pops up at the top of the board.

Nissan have not produced an R-35 anything.

The R relates to the series of the engine, the R series engines were a straight six - now discontinued. They did however do a V-35 Skyline which was powered by a V6 engine.

Nissan have not based this GTR on any evolution of the Skyline, so it is not a even a Skyline, or an R anything as it dosent have an R series engine.

Nissan themselves have designated this car the NISSAN - GTR.

Thats it - no R - no 35, Just NISSAN GTR.

If this has already been mentioned please excuse me for not reading it - as you will understand I have not read any of this thread.

Rant over :blush:

um...........R32's came out in CA18's in certain variants

how is that following the same line of engines?

seriously go with it mate who cares

a GTR has to start with an R. just because its a GTR. it would be wrong if it was something else in my eyes

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
