The vq heads likely wont line up with the intake, and not ideal for boost. I mean, if the intake lines up then you could even use the vq heads in theory. I wouldn't run a stock vq head for boost tho. I's assume nissan dressed up the heads for boost too.

I don't know what parts you guys are looking at, but the ones im seeing all share the same core parts bin so far. Dude, it's nissan, not pagani. lol Are you familiar with the FM platform/chassis? the same chassis ALL RWD nissans have? Pretty sure the GTR also uses the same chassis.. in theory I could chop it down, and build a perfect altima from it. LMAO They did not develop a custom crankcase and block for the GTR, they just dressed it up as a "VR". Also note the factory nomenclature vQ vR. That's the thing with the GTR, its priced with exotics, but it's basically just a nissan parts bin special. FFS, they haven't even changed the powertrain in what? 15 years or something? Why do you think that is? Cause it costs too much for a failing nissan who is hanging by a thread to develop a bespoke motor or even chassis for the GTR. Lot of smoke and mirrors going on at nissan.

I rest my case.

Welp, that explains it. Who needs numbers? Oh, and schematics? It clearly doesn't work, a random internet guy on 370z.com said it doesn't. He made big numbers... he knows everything now. Bahahahahahaha

This is fun.

Seriously tho, why wouldn't it work? Still waiting on a valid reason.. Head studs aren't it, sorry. "it would already be a thread if it did" is not a reason.. sorry.

Rusty is an engineer who worked in the automotive industry. You make the VQ work with a vr38 you will be a instant millionaire. We will all be waiting for your claims to be reality.

That's cool. Sometimes I wish I did chem eng. I worked as a QCC/QCE for a while. Wanna see my lab?

Instant millionaire? I wish. What will probably happen: Countless people dump on me, tell me how dumb I am(haters hate when you do something before them that they never thought of that in hindsight is actually fairly obvious), then I do it, a few pat me on the back, then everyone else copies what I did, 10 years from now it's a "thing" and everyone forgets I ever even existed. LMAO That would be par. I don't see how I could profit here. I'm certainly not going to get into the part business. Especially parts that anyone could just call nissan to buy.

I may be the only one here, but I'm very interested to see how this VR-VQ build would go through. FWIW, 370z944 dude - please follow through your stories and ideas, start a thread and build this monster you're planning to build.
Best case scenario: you'll prove everyone wrong and we'll all learn something new. Worst case scenario, you'll waste a lot of money, learn something new and spooler will say "toldcha" and we'll all have a laugh.

LOL. Exactly.. Pretty sure I'm right.. but I'm here to find out!

vr38+vq37 = vrq75

Good one.

370Z944 · 07-27-2022, 08:29 PM

.....yeeeeeah... Gonna be a no. Cause no, the coolant passages don't line up. They're similar. Found a pic of each mating surface. So, no. The bolt pattern and coolant passages aren't the same. A deck plate/liners could possibly take care of the coolant passages, but that bolt pattern is all wrong.

Whole engine swap it is then. Dang it.

I had to delete and refresh everything to upload the rotated pic. For some reasson the site refuses to upload the edited version.

Why give up because of that? I'm sure you could drill new holes into the block. It probably hasn't been done yet, but you can do it. I'm sure everyone here is interested in how that would work out.

If 370z944 thinks Spooler is bad. Wait until he asks a question on rims and tires. Option Zero will rub the skin right off of him.

Mellowed? Read this thread

Anyone running kw1 coilovers?

Well, it was a simple question. lol I just had to answer it with facts myself. I figured was an easy one to explain for this crowd. Shrug. "No, they don't line up cause the bolt pattern is all different" would've sufficed. LMAO I was just supposed to take "no cause I said so"?? lol The size of the stud doesn't make much difference. It's easy to make threads bigger, it's making them smaller thats rough. That bolt pattern tho.. I can't think of a way around that.
