First Blown Up VR38DETT ?

UPDATE: More information on the failure.

According to some posts on Skylines Australia -Haltech is the first one we have heard of to blow up a VR38DETT.

This car was at the Eastern Creek private practise day on Friday 24th. In the 4th session the cars motor blew! It was sitting on the grass and had dropped oil on the track. They canceled the session as a result.

From another thread.

Apparently lost the top of a piston & has damaged the block & several rods.

Rumor or truth ?

Blown up engines are a way of life when dealing with new cars.
