Magnus Motorsports GTR VR38 R35 RWD Bellhousing Titanium for R35 to RWD Transmission

Titanium offers the perfect balance for professional drag racing: it provides the structural strength and safety containment of steel but at a significantly lower weight, comparable to aluminum.

This bellhousing is engineered to adapt the Nissan VR38DETT engine (R35 GT-R) to a dedicated Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) racing transmission for drag racing applications.

Yes. Titanium bellhousings are typically mandated in high-level drag racing classes to meet SFI specifications for flywheel and clutch containment in the event of a catastrophic failure.

Yes. In almost all RWD VR38 conversions using a race transmission, the engine is supported by a front motor plate and mid-plate, rather than the bellhousing supporting the full weight of the engine.

While the GT-R is AWD by nature, converting to RWD allows for the use of specialized drag tires (slicks) and transmission geometries capable of handling power levels that exceed the limits of the factory AWD drivetrain.
