The point of this was to push VVEL and to make a VQ37 or now VQ45 motor with VVEL break 1000rwhp. GTR heads are not needed and an unnecessary expense...

Also the VR is closed deck block and the VQ is an open deck block so EVERYTHING is different.

By the look of things I might see the white dragon when coming to america.

how big is a torque convertor anyway. might bring mine with me and give it to GTM to do their magic on it....if they can get it done within 2 weeks

about the size of a small dog and it will weigh more than 15 kilo's

Vegitto-kun · 03-10-2011, 12:11 PM

what the hell? its that huge? O_o

1slow370 · 03-11-2011, 04:38 AM

think jack russel and it's made out of steel so yeah It's probably like about 25cm in diameter and about 7-10cm tall. IT's hollow so it weighs less when drained so maybe 10kilos about the size of 2 oem clutches stacked on top of each other

I will be testing the GTM converter at the track April 2nd if it ever stops snowing and raining up here.

1slow370 · 03-11-2011, 07:20 AM

What's snow?

this white stuff all over the place that makes you save money and blow it all on your car in spring, so you can drive the sh!t out of it all summer

Hmm... I've never dealt with the stuff. It does sound a bit better than having open roads all year and blowing money on the car year round though

Not to mention hot as hell and ball soup for nine months out of the year.

I was just thinking of something, how is the front strut tower brace going to fit with the GT-R manifold? Doesn't seem like much room:

SPOHN · 03-14-2011, 08:38 PM

It might not. I know on the 350's with the Kinetix and Crawford manifolds people ran without them. I had both and ran without.

christian370z · 03-14-2011, 10:10 PM

I think someone somewhere in this thread said it could fit by trimming the GTR engine cover but I am not sure where that post is.
