well sikky you may have pride but why not help us keep the nissan brand?!?!?!?
I am almost done on my vk56de swap into my 2004 g35.
There is absolutely no one doing enough for this.
Read this website and see the desire to keep the brand.
I have over 9,100 views on my build and I am shortly wrapping it up.
If I had support for a company with such "devotion" I would have been done already. Instead I have had to beg borrow and steal for over a year, threaten and plead with people that promised me parts.
Help us devoted people keep the brand and make vk56## swap parts

Because they are supporting what sells/works. Nobody wants to do a crazy swap, with another engine that has no support/potential.
I can find basic parts to build a 1000hp LS engine in a few minutes, for a couple thousand bucks. Show me the same setup on a VK. Not gonna happen.
The reason everybody supports the LS swap, is because it WORKS. It is, without a doubt, the best power/$$ platform right now, they are readily available, super reliable, and super capable. It's neat to stuff a nissan V8 in there (I think they should have stuffed the 45 engine in there, it would fit and it's a sweet engine), but it's gonna be custom because nobody really cares.
^^^ this ^^^ I would never put anything other than a LSx engine in the Z if I were to do a swap. The aftermarket support for those engines are ENORMOUS. The Vk56 swap is cool and all, but very impractical.

yes no one can deny that the LS has been around since, dirt? basically.
Problem is, not you obviously, people are notoriously devoted to the Nissan brand.
A corr II engine was built and made 715HP N/A......
Haven't seen that kind of number on a LS* yet... Yet. personally
Support is not dead by any means.
JWT - springs, retainers, numerous cams, non vvt and vvt. and increasing support. Kelford (NZ, I belive) - They do numerous and amazing cams, plus any custom cam, springs, retainers, with an incoming section. GTM - 6.0l stroker kit and supercharger kits Stillen - Superchargers
Uprev - preprgrammed and programmable ECM's Neo's Garage - While his website is bare, he offers anything you want to pay for. Collins adaptors - numerous items to adapt the vk56 to 2 or 3 diffrerent trans, but with stand alone only. Fever racing - wire harness rebuilds for the vk56 into any platform, adaptor plates, throw-out bearing solutions (they need person and individual touches though) custom oil pans, vk56 tunes, uprev licensing, etc. VH performance - intake flanges /w 2'' adapters, exhaust flanges, custom intake plenum. CORR - wait did I mention the VK56** has been in GT classes and performance classes of all makes and builds, Ryan Kado, Chris Foseberg. McKinney Motorsports - Motor mounts (same as Ryan Kado) CP piston - piston, anything to order Brain Crower - Con rods Carillo - Con rods Denso - Fuel injectors
I became minimal at the bottom of the list. However I reclaim my point. There is a bunch of support, the problem is that the support for getting the motor in the car is scarce.
If there was more support to get the motor in more cars than the cliche' market would pop off.
Creep any 350z/g35/240 thread The want this motor cause it keeps the brand.... The die-hards will only keep the brand. The die-hards and the ones who will pay the good money.
I will just laugh now.
If you can afford to spend 20k - 30k on a crate motor plus swap kit and a shop to do the sway. There is absolutely no way you would be dropping that motor in a g/z.
As for a rear mount turbo... ew
Maybe if you live in TX, or never drive it in the rain.
Why would you want your most expensive items in the place you rust the fastest?
I am not saying the LS* is a bad motor or has no potential, I think you are all misreading this.
I am saying, most people would rather stick to the same brand. Period
Besides, all of you people trying to flame me about this, I am reading your posts. Non of you are LS swapped, so why are you crying so much?

Lol, what. People put 2k exhaust under their car and an ebay turbo for a lsx motor can be bought for $200-$250.
So, what does rain have to do with anything?
Rear-mount turbo is the easiest way to turbo a vehicle that has very limited engine bay space.
The fact is no-one is ever going to "mass" produce the parts needed to swap a vk56 into a 350z because it is not a desirable swap.
