A little birdy tells me Haltech are no longer the only ones in Sydney to have popped a VR38 :P

D'oh! they are dropping like flies! VR38.... the RB26 for the new generation...

You missed the point there champ.

A "forged motor" (ie. something with forged rods/pistons) doesn't inherrently make more power.

You don't get 1000hp from pistons and rods. You can make decent power by upgrading the support systems and pushing them to the limits on a motor that can handle it.

Somehow I think you're going to have to upgrade the turbos before you really find the limit of a stock VR38. Thus until Haltech do that, building a stronger motor is near-on pointless.

You know what i mean mate. If they are developing the car for modifications for the future, then a future logical step is turbo upgrades, and providing the extra security of a built engine to handle these power outputs isnt pointless.

'Forged' and 'built' eh, learn something new every day :) And heres me thinking that these motors already had forged cranks and rods. Plus were individually hand built in the factory.

OK, I'll lay off now :sick:

cheers to haltech for letting me and my beard in to take a look at the 35 when picking up my mate from your training course i was happy as s*&t :wave:

Um, the motor looks quite "together" in that pic >_<

angry but intriguing at the same time. one might even say 'rugged'.... mmmmmm rugged... you have that look that says, i'm hard on the outside, but soft on the inside, like a nice champagne truffle.... mmmm.

lol.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
