Exclamation GT Motorsports: Project: "U.A.E. 240Z" VQ35HR Transformation

This car made its was down here all the way from the U.A.E. We are excited to be able to preform this swap on a classic such as the 240Z. This is going to be an N/A build with a completely stock VQ35HR.

Classic looks and the reliability of a modern engine was the goal with this car, we can't wait until it's complete!

Below are some pictures of the progress, enjoy!

The engine was installed temporary to determine the new engine mount location, The whole car is completely stripped down to the bone right now and will be completely blasted to cure some of the rust you see, that was the plan since day one, this goes also to the suspension,brake system, and rear end its a complete restoration job

Awesome car, but thats a DE swap, and GTM is doing the HR swap. More than a few minor differences in these engines.
