Nitto Billet Crankshaft - Nissan VR38DETT - GT-R (R35)
Nitto's VR38 crank is an EN40B billet replacement for the factory crankshaft in the R35 GT-R. It keeps the standard 88.44 mm stroke and 3.8L capacity, and suits high-power drag, circuit and street builds.
EN40B has a higher tensile strength than 4340, and Nitto notes that it adds strength without adding weight, which helps the engine rev and respond. Oiling is tear-drop cross drilled.
Note: Installation by a professional is recommended. Engine internals must be measured and set up by a qualified engine builder.
Features
- EN40B true billet round bar
- X-ray and sonic grade tested
- Quenched, heat treated and nitrided
- Fully counterweighted and balanced
- Knife-edged where applicable
- Tear-drop cross-drilled oiling
- 100% CNC profiled, drilled and tapped
