Guys here it is,

I have sourced 1 BRAND NEW R35 GTR ENGINE (VR38DETT) w/ FRONT DIFFERENTIAL Included :P

The engine is 100% brand new sitting in a crate (only had the normal 500km or so done at the factory to run it in!)

The engine will not come with intercoolers, ECU, alternator, air conditioning pump ect. (this can all be easily sourced separately)

This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity, you will know what I mean if you contact Nissan Australia and enquire about purchasing one from them!

Below are images of the actual engine (exactly what you will get) as you can see it includes EVERYTHING from turbo's, manifold to fuel rail even the differential for the front wheels is there.

Now I am not going to put down a price for it... give me a call and give me an offer, but please NO TIME WASTERS!

All offers of 20k+ will be considered.

CALL: 0401599023

PS: One has already been installed in Europe and works perfectly!

Hey guys,

The issue I have is there is no one else selling this in Australia and finding one overseas is extremely hard... so there is no way of me putting a price on one.

I want to see how much people will pay for one and if the price is right I will sell it!

If you have a look in the US and UK there was one that was on sale for USD$28,000 (came out of a car though) and in the UK just the block was $15,000.

The car itself costs AUD$160,000 here so a brand new engine w/ front diff would certainly be worth well over 20K I would assume.

But please... ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WELCOME!

With 500klm on it should get >20k easy

It would make a nice powerplant in any car, Ive been waiting for this to happen sooner as they are being crashed quite often Ive heard.

did this come out of a crashed r35 gtr?

This has not come out of a half cut or anything... it is a brand new engine never been fitted to an R35 :devil:

The engine is coming from a contact in Europe not Japan, and the 500km on it is what you will find with every single R35 you buy brand new from a dealership - I assume its how the Nissan factory insures that every engine is perfect.

only problem is fitting a gearbox to thhe r35 motor

Hey mate,

From what I understand connecting up a gearbox would require no major work aside from an adaptor to be made, the engine does not come with an ECU so there will be no errors coming of the original one when using a different gearbox.

But I will confirm this on Tuesday when I get the information from Europe.

If anyone has any information/articles regarding fitting an aftermarket gearbox to the R35 GTR if you could post some links that would be great.

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 10 months later...

with the european ones didnt they have a recall on them because of soft bearings? your one been rebuilt?

I will have to get back to you on that one - would not have a clue mate

You should put it in your maxima Brendan..lol

hahaha... I am considering turning the Maxima into a somewhat 'demo car' but probably stick to the de-tunned VQ30 for now thumbsup.gif

But yeah... a VQ38 in a Maxima never thought of that lol

dont think they are that hard to obtain, when i was at croydon late last year they had 3 in crates

Nice - what did they want for them?

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
