Willall Racing Buys Australia's First Official Complied/street Registered R35gtr

[Munro]

Im SOLD. I like good value.

[Martin Donnon]

Having said that the rb is late 80's technology and i believe it did very well to last this long....time to step aside i think, although the R35 is yet to be proven 100%. Time will tell...i have complete faith.

I love my RB engines.....

But its 2008 and Nissan had to come out with something new, or be swamped

[Madaz]

and really could the RB block be increased to a 3.5 ltr without decreasing the blocks life due to wall thickness of the pistons

[SLED]

fine for the 1% that can afford the 35 but the other 99% can have an RB GTR right now with the necessary upgrades to give them similar power which will see them thru for the next 10 years or so until the 35 becomes affordable.

[Martin Donnon]

What someone needs to do is come up with an RB package that gives similar kind of midrange to the VR38, as thats the key for it being so quick in such a heavy car...midrange and lots of it!

[Cubes]

RB30... Rods, Pistons ATI balancer and a pair of 2530's.

Martin.

What sort of power does the VR38 see at 4000rpm?

Martin.

Depends on the dyno but you will see around 230awkw @ 4000rpm as a rough guide

[Cubes]

Nice...

All though no where near the 400rwkw mark the gt30 .82 on the rb30 makes 200rwkw at 3500rpm and 256rwkw at 4000rpm with 19psi.

Would be interesting to see what sort of power a well sorted rb30det with a pair of 2530's could make.

[rad100]

hahaha joel u love the 25/30 and have good reason too.... i thin someone needs to make a custom t3 manifold and strap on some turbos on the 35 and wind up the boost!!!

Its the transient response that would blow you away. While its possible to hold a car on the dyno and let it build boost to make a power and torque figure at a given rpm, get it out on the road at 1500rpm and nail the throttle in fourth gear. That tells the complete story

Exactly.. There's really no replacement for displacement.

martin

what is the max rev limit for this engine. 7500 rpm?

also do you have the software to unlock the 03 350z ecu to raise the rev limit on that?

Look its a forum, anyone can have an opinion - but heres the facts....

R35 GTR Stock

0-100km/h - 3.5 sec

0-400M - 11.5/11.6sec @ 120-122mph

Now to get this pace from an R32/33/34 GTR you will need -

TD05 kit/GT2540 turbochargers or similar running 1.5 bar boost

700cc+ fuel injectors

Upgraded fuel pump

Programmable management FC or similar with a correctly carried out tune

Front pipes

Full exhaust system with cat removal

Upgraded twin/triple clutch

Possible intercooler upgrade

and be prepared to build an engine for it in the very near future...

as well as being in a constantly harrassed and defectable car

This isnt a guess. We have done our fair share of GTR modification over the years.

Nissan have done a very good job of building a genuine supercar that thankfully DOESNT need a bucket of cash thrown at it to make it go like it should.

That is the true value of R35

So basically you get 911 turbo performance for the boxter pricetag?

And there's still plenty of scope for upgrades without having to rip it to pieces and kill the package.

Like you say, sounds like the real deal to me.

Im SOLD. I like good value.

....and so it begins....

[RubyRS4]

I love my RB25DET

I believe on a scale of 'bang for buck', modding the RB engines is far cheaper with sufficient gains.

Maybe in a couple of decades when the R35 and any mods are more affordable ............

[Nightcrawler]

yeah I agree to some extent Reuben - but you simply can't compare the R35 with anything that has ever existed previously - it is in a whole new league. Fact is you don't need to mod it - with a tune they are making 350rwkw - much more that you can use on the street anyhow.

Yeah, I shoudl have also added "... when the R35 is also proven after years of service"

We're not Andrew, but others on here are!

I'm sure when the 34 GTR first came out, peeps were saying the same thing........"plenty of power, you don't need to mod it"....who you trying to kid

[whatsisname]

Exactly.. There's really no replacement for displacement.

Then again... VW have done a very reasonable job of making an engine that's short on displacement punch well above it's weight. VW call it TSI, but it makes more sense when I say... a supercharger and a turbocharger combined to work as one.

The VW Golf GT/TSI runs a 1.4L four cylinder TSI engine that makes 125kw and 240nm of torque, the bulk of the later at just 1500rpm till 5000rpm. Driven 'normally' it can also return figures of under 6.0L/100. It's even more fun when it comes with a DSG gearbox.

Not exactly R35 GTR territory, but good for the daily commute, very impressive economy (handy when paying 1.50+per L) and much quicker than a few fleet Commodore owners were expecting
