I dont have that much money to buy a 35oz. but i do however have enough to buy a motor w/ trans and an old hardbody nissan pickup. you guys see where im going with this? im thinkin about getting an old nissan pickup and takin the motor and trans out and replacing it with the 35oz motor and tranz. you guys every heard of such a thing. i know theres a lot of stuff. but do you think it will even fit? i wanna hear what you guys think about this!

Not worth doing it with a vq, use something that is cheaper to buildup. lsX, sr20.........

any other motors i can used because i want the 6spd.

Willie

just get an older Z: 240z, 260z, 280, 300z.

hehe, you probably dont want OUR 6 speeds, lots of em have issues.

evo mr's have 6 speeds and will be cheaper to mod

why transplant into a truck though, why not something like a 240sx?

i need something to haul my future motorcycle in. and i want to.

Willie

buy a 240z swap an lsX motor in it and buy a motocycle trailer.

hp hp hp. i need at least 300 hp. i could stick a turbo on 240 or 300 but that severely limits the life of the engine. what goes wrong with your 6 spd?

alright that motorcycle trailer fixes that problem. but how do i fix that i want to do it? that would be one badass truck.

Willie

It will end up costing more than you think and it will be a tuff sell in the future when you want to upgrade. It will indeed be cool though..

lol i wish someone woulda told me that before my last project.
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/car/301045760.html<thats a custom lift. no one sells those!
im tired of 4x4ing. i want to go fast. anyone want to buy it?
but anyway. i want to go fast. i want a 6spd with 300hp+. but with good gas mileage. and reliable. lol i know its a lot to ask. but can you guys think of other vehicle. cheap too.

35oz? Of what? Malt liquor?

Making a frankenstein is easiest with the SR20 out of all the Nissan engines, IMO

I think it's original. Definitely try it, and let us know how it goes. I imagine you better be prepaird for a lot of custom work.
If everyone did the same thing, the world would be pretty boring don't you think? Give it a try!

That would be pretty neat. There is a guy on J-tuned that has a mitsu truck with a turbo motor or some sort of swap. Pretty neat, imo.

I've already seen a HardBody with a SR20DET swap. The VQ is great and all but the SR should slide right in considering the hard bodies had KAs and the SR RWD will fit and can be had for cheap. If you want a truck with a VQ go buy a new Frontier..

i think for all the time moola and hassles that will take, you wont be far off from a used 03.... assuming you have to take it somewhere to get done..

Dammit I can't find the link to the page showing all the work needed but several people have done SR20DETs into Frontiers and Hard Body's.

hahaha take it somewhere ya right. i would do all of this in my garage. wull my dads garage. see im 16 so i dont have any money. even if i did have enough money to take it somewhere to do it i wouldnt. thanks for the encouragement and as soon as i sell my pathfinder im going to start on this mighty journey. i will keep in touch with this page because i will most likely have some questions about the motor and such. but someone said that your 6spd have a problem what goes wrong with them???

I dont think it so much the tranny. There is a sticky thread I believe in the FI section. Doing a comp. of our tranny to the getrag and others.

I think its more so the drivers than the trannys, and a little bit of both...
