If you didn't realize it the image link thing was already covered above but thanks for your input..

1. Ill keep those so called ugly *** wheels because i like them!
2. Already taking care of it even tho its a daily not a track car so stock Brembos would be fine.
3.All the piping in the exhaust system is 3.5" not 3". I have a so called duel down pipe because It runs off the two turbo manifolds , follows the drive shaft down to the rear bumper and branches into a duel tips Not sure what you didn't understand about it and i don't like the look of a 350z with 1 exhaust tip.

Like i said before, thanks for your input but im not here for your approval, im sure your ride is WAY better then mine so take your own suggestions and let me handle this swap.

What's the approximate cost of a stock RB26 swap into these cars? I know for 240SX's its less than what us Z guys pay for a TT kit. Only problem I could see would be fabbing up some mounts since I doubt any companies make them like they do for the 240s.

Sounds like if the cost is the same or less, I'd swap one of those bad boys in rather than slap on a TT kit to the VQ.

An r26 in a 240 is pretty easy since the mount kit cost around 1,200 or so. So far they only make an LS and a 2j kit for the 350z. As for price i guess it really depends on if your doing it yourself or the shop. I got a really good deal on it and honestly came out almost exactly waht it would have taken to fully build a VQ the right way TT kit and all so i went with the rb for reliability , wow factor and it being a VERY fun motor to drive. I know the VQ could be built for high power with a crazy build and all that but i didnt wanna take a gamble on the motor after reading so many horror stories along with successful builds. IMO i think the RB is more fun to drive and rather do a swap then build a motor that wasnt meant to be boosted.. not to mention its nice to have something people just cant buy in a kit.

Nice build..... RB is meant for boost. If done right youll prob have a more reliable car then someone with a built VQ and twins.
