Dynamic Autosports Hankook Gruppe-S Drift GT-R Project Update: Part III
Part three of our series where we stalk the Gruppe-S guys building their Hankook Dynamic Autosports drift GT-R. This time we’ve got our first official pics of the VQ35 motor and G-Force 4-Speed dog box manual transmission bolted into the R35 chassis. The VQ35 is smaller all round versus the VR38 so all that extra space will be filled with larger piping for a bigger turbo. Yes singular.
This VQ35 ain’t stock though in case you’re wondering. It’s stroked to 4.0 – 4.1 liters so should be able to put out some respectable numbers when all said and done. It’s bolted in by way of some custom solid engine mounts.
The guys promise the GT-R will be ready for round one of Formula D action at the Streets of Long Beach in California on the 9th – 10th of April! Sweet!

I was hoping they would keep the vr38. Should be interesting to see what it can do.
what’s up with that engine? no GTR soul down there
Think this is a project the world doesn´t need…a GTR which isn´t a GTR anymore…wrong engine,wrong drivetrain…sad sad GTR.
The VQ is for the time, before the tune the VR.
@STJ
Why…VR´s can be tuned to awesome levels without spending a lot of money into them…..why spend money on a VQ….
The VQ is a bulletproof proven engine for drifting with a lot of development hours behind it. Break one, just grab another real quick.
Break a VR and firstly crack open the back account, secondly, battle with Nissan trying to get spares on the restricted list. Lastly, wait who knows how long to get the parts shipped.
You can see why the VR is less attractive for them right now…
@the GTR
you are a faggot fuck off
