hi guys,

there are rumours going around the trap that the r35gtr requires a full rebuild @ 100,000km & apparently this is a 15k major service - could this be true?

i have also heard from a workshop here in sydney that they are having a lot of gearbox issues with striping gears (1 particular in the US has changed his gearbox 5 times) - & apparently considering a recall but this would run nissan into the ground

here is a clip of a 10.5 pass where this black gtr strips 1st gear OUCH (refer to 2nd clip):

I imagine it makes no difference to nissan if people are braking gearboxes after getting a chunk more power out of it then drag racing them. If you up the power things will break, thats a given and should be accepted. That GTR that ran a 10.6 is making worlds more power then stock so a gear box breakage was expected.

Over 100 launches using the Nissan GT-R's now infamous launch control, with approximately 30 of those resulting in a sub-10 second ET, took it's toll.

somehow i dont think thats what nissan allowed for when designing the box...

As for the engine thing - the answer is no body knows. It has something to do with the plamsa bores but I can't remember exactly what.

But then it's 100,000km's. I wish my R34 GTR engine would last that long before it needs a +$15K re-build!

Pretty sure if you read through this forum there will plenty of information regarding the gearbox issues, the car that strips 1st in the video has been widely publicised as having in excess of 600hp, 700nm and running consistent 10 sec 1/4s. It may be worth your time to have a read through some topics with things in the title like "R35 gearbox" to get some info in this.

yes it was the plasma bores that i also heard

i agree with ur comment about the 15k rebuild...i guess its like an rb26 running 295awkw and hoping to get 100000km

(this is what the r35 achieved on crd's dyno)

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.
