hodge Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Ahhh feck mate. I'm devastated for you. All that hard work and LOTS of money too. Anything I can do to help let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 the power will have to be capped at 850- the block cant cope,. am afraid there is too much damage to mine as trying to stop an auto car with push button and 1000 bhp.. (so quick was a hard task).. hopefully JUN can help then i will just tame it down.. a few JUN blocks have failed now (wish someone had told me but they only tell you once yours has gone).. on the plus side there is 3 of us emailing Junichi at JUN with the same issue.. hopefully they can help us all out.

jmcc42uk Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 It was a pleasure to be in Jurgen's car a few months ago when I was picking my car up, and although it still had the revs limited, you could feel the car wanting to be let loose to rip up the tarmac. Awesome, Awesome machine and a credit to Jurgen and his lads. As has been said, hopefully JUN will help out. I for one am proud to have the JM Imports badge on my car, and you couldn't ask for a more 'dead on' fella than Jurgen to do business with. So chin up mate, might not be as bad as it seems now Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 thanks for all the support lads.. there is no way i will take the GTR to that level again now.. my missus wants me to sell it now ;-( and it has took over me a little the car.. since its been running the last 3.5 months i have been everywere and never out of it and the last 1600 miles at full power were epic (something i will never forget)..

scoooby slayer Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 yes mate in that case they really must do something then imo. ive just gone back through the thread aswell and saw the pics of an assembled block and heads being unpacked from jun, if they have said the engne will take 1000 hp then legally you should have some rights surely ? the diff sat in the sump cant help with block strength one of the reasons i went from r32 gtr to a supra.

jmcc42uk Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Are the other 2 R35's that have failed high profile builds. ie is the failure well documented on the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I haven't been on in a good while, and couldn't believe my eyes as soon as the screen popped up. Really feel for you (your team) after you have put so much into the car, time, money, heart, soul, effort, soul destroyer for sure. My fingers are crossed for you that JUN will help you out in some way or another, surely a short block of that calibre and reputation comes with a guarantee?

sdistc Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Commiserations, Jurgen. I know the pain of an engine failure all too well, but hope that you don't give up on the GTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
