The engines blocks were made of cast-iron, while the cylinder heads were made of aluminum. Despite their large capacity, this motor was not equipped with balance shafts. When used in the passenger cars both versions of the KA24 used a crankshaft girdle, as opposed to individual main bearing caps. In the Nissan Hardbody and Frontier applications a crank girdle was not u...

does the nissan trucks not have a v8 in it? what are these motors you talk of in? my guess would be trucks. what nissan car has a v8 in it(factory)? they have mastered the I4, I6, v6, but it takes a v8 to pull around weight, i havnt seen to many 350z’s with hitches!!

The big infinitis have the v8 in it like the M45 and Q45. I don’t know if you count that as Nissan though.

I believe the big Titans have a 5.6 but they apparently have had some issues with reliability. What issues? I’m not sure, rumours are rumours.

Yes, this is the VK56 I mentioned… To my knowledge they are very reliable…

Yes, this also counts as Nissan since Infiniti is the North Amercian luxury division of Nissan… I’m 99% sure that Infiniti uses all Nissan engines.

i havn’t heard anything about nissan trucks not being good, my buddies dad’s got a titan and loves it. i would concider infinity nissan, would u concider buick a chevy or a mercury a ford? same shit different pile. was the new skyline not suppose to come out suporting an infinity logo? last i heard it was still being decided. that was a while ago tho. i didn’t know infinity’s came with v8’s, good to know… possibly why a g35 completely embarrashed my poor 240! figured at most a 6. most 6’s arn’t to much of a problem, most family car’s arn’t that fast, even with a big motor, but DAMN.

You don’t get a lot of new cars in Manitoba do you?
The G35 is a 3.5-liter V6.
It makes close to 300hp.
Probably why it embarrassed your 240.
Or possibly you were just high.
I had a G35 for a couple weeks, and yeah, they’ll play with anything der weiner-land can come up with. Bit floaty, and the stupid stability control was waaaaay to intrusive.
Most new ‘family’ cars, even shitty domestic ones make 250hp. I got a chance to rip a brand new Lexus IS350 - also a V6, and supposedly good for high 13-second 1/4 mile times out of the box, with 4 doors and NAV. Traction control can be turned off, but it comes back on after serious wheelspin.

Of course I consider Infinitis as Nissans. I just said that because I thought everyone knew that nissan made v8’s also. So I thought you were just not counting the ones that were in the infinitis. The G35 has the VQ35DE in it, and so does every other new nissan car it seems. I really enjoy the power and the sound of it, but I definately agree that it is too floaty. Especially after being used to the 240sx with coils, I felt like I was driving a boat.

there is no _new_ g35, if you mean last years model, you are right.
the _new_ g35 is called a g37 and has a 3.7L that I believes produces 330hp and has some fancy features like 4 wheel steering, variable valve and lift, better gas mileage than the 3.5L, etc.
