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)

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
