Vn 3.8 Stroked To A 4.0 Engine In My 32r

[WaTiSLuV]

Hi guys,

i've been scratching my head for the past 3 years, and the times come. I've just sourced my first VN 3.8 engine and wanna put it into my r32 skyline gtr vspec II. The guy i bought the engine off said he'd be happy with a straight swap for the rb26 aslong as i did all the labour in taking the engine out and delivering it to his door, i think i won the deal The gearbox was making weird noise whenever u put the clutch in anyway, now i've got a fully tricked 2stage auto thanks to Preston Automatics and diffs. Also looking at putting a 9" diff. Just wanna know if anybody has ideas on who would make custom mounts for all this gear.

Also, swapped my Motec for a flashed VN ECU, apparently made 102kw at the flywheel and the guy i got the engine off, swapped my brembos for his VT calipers (ss). My cousins also got a gtr and is looking at swapping for a Mazda Bravo engine to drop into his 32, thinks his gonna beat me down the straight

Lastly, looking at fitting monaro tail lights and headlights, wondering if anybody knows who makes custom guards for this.

Thanks guys,

Ali

You'd hope so.

LOL the noise in the gearbox was prob some kinda of heavy duty clutch hahahahaha

each to their own but 10k or so on a 26 would have been a better choice in my opinion.

Noise in the gearbox when you step on the clutch probably wouldn't be a clutch.. lol

It would be a thrust bearing if your on the clutch, or a spigot if your off the clutch.

the commo engine would blow any inline 6 turbo for sure man

heck if you can throw in a vb commo engine instead, heaps more torque and it came with a factory VAC guage

[abu]

LOL

Paul with the low blow out of no where!

To fix the sound when you put the clutch in, make sure to fill the box with Charcoal and sawdust, use diesel oil in the engine for maximum response.

Tell your cousin, i'll swap my 2.2ltr Camry engine for his rb26dett.

Trust me you'll get easy 1000hp out of it.

Did you get one of their big stickers to put across the rear window?

Those stroked VN motors go alright.
