;) WTF is wrong with the VR38s then? Pistons separating, engines popping in reverse.

guys, it was a joke. he doesn't have an R35 and this non-existent R35 did not blow up in reverse. I think a few of us need our sarcasm meters recalibrated...

Sorry Baron, I forgot to use the smilies in my reply.

I was purely joking with Dirt, knowing full well he would not be "limiter checking" a car, and I was nearly 100% that he hadn't bought a R35 yet...

any more news on this??

any more progress on how haltech killed their 35??pingping??

yeah I've been waiting for some elaboration on that too. I think blitz or his birdie was wrong. as far as I can find out the haltech 35 is the only one with a blown VR38 in sydney. you never know, there may be a secret one out there but I haven't been able to find it. :)

There is another, as I have already said, however I get the feeling that if the owners of the second one wanted the blow up to be public knowledge, there would probably be a thread about it.

well it wasn't so secret that you posted about it here! fair enough though I would probably try to keep it quiet too if I lunched one. and I still think you are ruggedly handsome also. mmmmm. sugoi! kimochi buttsex.gif

i dont understand why anyone would care if they lunched a engine (in any car) it happens- its a engine at the end of the day, unless they are the sort of people that claim to have standard everything and run 7 sec passes @ 1000000mph with their "freak/lucky" car.

I too would like to know who owns the 2nd R35 GTR here in Australia with a blown engine?

There appears to be many rumors flying around by certain members that CRD is the proud owner of this 2nd blown VR38.

Just to set things strait, the car is in perfect condition sitting on a hoist with no engine problems what so ever and anyone is more than welcome to come down and check this out including the crack head that started these rumors.

Cheers!

thanks for straightening that out. :D that was what I suspected. unless maybe there is another one blown but not CRDs?

long live the VR38!!

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
