R35 Gtr - Costly Rebuilds At 100k - Fact Or Fiction?


Recommended Posts

haha this is funny shit

honestly, i know what you read, but think about it logically..

why would nissan make a car with so much R&D in it but make the engine expire in 100,000kms?

logic is a great thing sometimes.

(what i'm trying to say is its all a load of shite)

Yeah it didn't make any sense to me either, but i thought i would throw it out there to see if anyone else had heard of it.

By the time the R35 becomes a as common as 32's or 33's.. There will be more and more manufacturers using this technology.. this means that more and more workshops will be offering this service due to the demand..

Technology will advance.. support will be offord..

when the GTR becomes cheap enough for many of us to afford.. it will common practice..

thats even if it is true!..

And lets face it.. The RB26DETT that is nearing its 21st birthday costs 6K.. which means the 35DETT will have to cost more.. lets say 10K.. its not going to cost 10K to service an engine at its 100,000km mark..

thats just silly

thats my 2 cent

Still... servicing the R35 is cheaper then all other cars that do 100kmh in 3.5secs i'd imagine. I heard all the new Ferrari's require a 100k service every 20k and that the belts must all be genuine parts. I think what we're forgetting here is that once the car is here, the R35 is a pretty exclusive "super" car with matching performance. I wonder how much the 100k service cost for a 911 turbo....

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
