About To Do Something Stupid Gtr R32 With Vr38dett


Recommended Posts

Honestly you aren't likely to get a real response until you actually start building an r32gtr with a vr38.

In all reality you could get more power and torque for half the price.... but who doesn't love a nicely tuned vr38?

Lastly, the engine is barely half the reason an r35 gtr is fast.... its the gearbox, suspension, weight, width, aero and electronics that all work together that make it fast. If I was to look at doing it, I would try and start with a wrecked r35 and transplant as much of the r35 as possible into a wide body r32gtr shell.

Oh cool! So you know that an engine that came in a car will fit in the car it came out of?

Or something

it might be hard for you to understand

but you need to know how big the hole is,

and then you need to have a reference point for the front diff

so it helps to measure a standard engine

mate its people like you that persecuted galileo

I like good ideas as much as the next guy.

Here is 1 for you. Buy a 35.

At least you'll be able to drive it.
Either way, this isn't a build thread.

where is the fun in that

You need to know what you want first.

Dedicated drag car?

If you want it on the street and be able to turn a corner without the need of a football field size turning circle.

That car can't turn it goes in straight lines.

i read all of this and all i got was, u wanna build an illegally modified car to race on the street like a moron and making the cops get tougher on modified cars. so why would anyone want to offer helpful advise so u can make our lives harder??

i also vote to move this thread as its not a build up or project.

I like the idea - go for it! I do have a different approach for you to consider. Graft the R32 shell onto the R35 floorpan... Not an impossible task.

Just look at the Nissan juke for inspiration as to what can be achieved. Good luck with it :-)

    • I've got a Nexus for one of my other cars and I was surprised how simple it is to use and seems like a good quality bit of gear. The tech support guys are good to chat with too.
    • My point is more so focused on the division between cylinders 1 to 3 vs 4 to 6. Any low mount "bolt on" aftermarket manifold utilises an open T3 collector which has crap all scavenging effects. Sure it might allow you to slap in more timing up top to make a little more but you'll lose all the down low performance. Even Tao from @hyper-gear has experienced the same when modifying the stock manifold. He has experienced added lag by cutting out the divider inside vs. leaving it alone. Twin scroll works, even if the effort is focused primarily on the manifold and an open scroll turbine housing. Please don't confuse me with a V8 NA or Americans that thinks you need back pressure in a 4 stroke motor.
    • I bought mine from Concept Z https://conceptzperformance.com/hks-stainless-steel-catback-exhaust-system-full-dual-muffler-infiniti-q60-coupe-17-cv37-awd-rwd-31014-kn001_p_32626.php Put it on myself. Very easy jack stands. But if i was going to do it again i would get something like this   https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-infiniti-sport-exhaust-kit-axle-back-exhaust-system-infiniti-q60-17-coupe-cv37-b0100-q60st_p_30289.php Or just straight pipe it the whole way. I drove the car without an exhaust for shits and giggle when i was swapping it and it's not very loud at all. 
    • Ignore the monster truck ride hide, I messed up on the offsets and widths and ended up ditching them a few weeks later when my coilovers didnt fit
    • I always drive with the tire pressure gauges showing the PSI because I'm paranoid about getting a flat tire and not knowing then keep driving and tear it apart. No amount of goo is going to fix a shredded tire. My Q60 has the goo and the V36 had the goo too. Never used it but I have used the pump to pump up the tire to get home. Then I fixed it with a plug. Wasn't keen on the goo.
