Nissan GT-R (R35) Engine Components FAQ's

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Which engine components are smart reliability upgrades on the VR38DETT?

Reinforced charge pipes and couplers, robust PCV/vent solutions, upgraded bypass valves, and quality gaskets help the VR38 stay sealed under heat and boost.

Is an aluminum turbo inlet or intake worth it on the R35?

Smoother, rigid inlets reduce collapse and turbulence, improving response—especially when paired with tuning and freer‑flowing intercoolers.

Do I need to safety‑wire or lock certain fasteners on track‑driven GT‑Rs?

Critical turbo/downpipe hardware benefits from high‑temp locking hardware and periodic re‑torque after heat cycles.
