jay-rod Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 If it can fit in a S15 chassis why can't it fit in a R32 chassis? S15 chassis between strut towers is wider. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454610-about-to-do-something-stupid-gtr-r32-with-vr38dett/page/3/#findComment-7495615 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anfanee Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Looking at the above photos i would say it won't fit. And if it does it will be soooooooo tight.

Leroy Peterson Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 a) vehicle that can beat 1000cc bikes. b) 32GTR c) vehicle with VR38DETT pick one. especially if you would like the project to not drag on for more than 2 years.

wld093 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Let the haters hate.... You seem keen and have done research into it. Would be one of the firsts in a 32 gtr but it wouldn't be the last if all goes to plan. Biggest challenge would be engine bay clearance and obviously as previously stated gear ratios etc. You got the motivation and that's all you need . Good luck hope to see some photos soon;) And if all else fails you've got a nice engine to stick into another car ! 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454610-about-to-do-something-stupid-gtr-r32-with-vr38dett/page/3/#findComment-7496252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XKLABA Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Really, where cause as far as i can see only the apron is custom, the factory strut towers and full engine bay (other then apron which makes no difference) are still in place Frankly if you people dont have anything nice to say or constructive advice, feel free to not comment, this is the build thread not wasteland so move on 4 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454610-about-to-do-something-stupid-gtr-r32-with-vr38dett/page/3/#findComment-7497025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nackboy Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 the reason he has a custom radiator support is to help him fit those giant turbos, his custom inter cooler and the radiator in new locations mick is right, the strut towers are still untouched im running stock turbos, if they fit in the tunnel that is as the vr38 V6 is shorter than the rb26 inline 6 in the north south direction, there will be plenty of room to run the piping Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454610-about-to-do-something-stupid-gtr-r32-with-vr38dett/page/3/#findComment-7497147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay-rod Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) As guessed the VR38 is pretty much the same as a VQ. Nice find on that forum threadKinda kicks all the nay sayers in the balls This is what he had, an RB, and he wants faster, so.....VR38 can prob do that in such a light carHis fastest time of 7.4 seconds is quick as fck, maybe see if u can get in contact with him.

XKLABA Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Sequential, we have just gone through this and the OS giken OS88 works out way better value for money then any gearset as it also comes with a purpose built case and is rated to 1500hp and sequential 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/454610-about-to-do-something-stupid-gtr-r32-with-vr38dett/page/3/#findComment-7497176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
