i like the way v8s sounds but i dont like the way mustangs or camaros look. i think a z that sounded like a v8 would be cool

 

oh boy thats gonna cost you some good good money...

 

im going to wait for the GTR's VQ once i can get a hold of one. no time soon but ill wait.

 

is the gtr gonna be a 3.7l?

 

I would like to see a VH45 swap in a Z. they came in the early 90s Q45 and is a great high reving motor the only problem is that no one makes cams for it so you would have to find a place to get them custom made.

The VH block it self is preety strong and is a closed deck. Some say the block can with stand over 500hp

but a VH would be a better but then a VK45 since you can pic a VH45 for some times less then 1000.

 

Lol~ It's an engine only worthy of God's ride. Lol! :-)

 

Estimated cost according to SCC was ~25K in real world dollars. to make 700ps...

Its freaking cool but cost effective to go fast!!!!

no.

 

i really don't want to beat a dead horse but i m new here but currently do have a rb26dett long block and will be potentially swapping it into the z... ive had this motor ofr like EVER now.. i dreampt it up years ago for a 240 but then taht damn mustang bug came around and bit me. 3 and a half years, 4 stangs, 7 ford engines, and assorted parts later i am back to a nissan. Altoughi wiladmit.. when i saw lsx swap was possible i got excited but i just read that it ruins the weight distribution blance

 

You read wrong.

The LSX is lighter than the VQ, and actually brings weight balance closer to 50/50.

 

thanx for the clarification...either way i think i'll stick witht eh skyline motor.. espcially since i spent so dman much on it already... and im tired of it being 5500 paperweight. Even though i know its not really feasible but ive been calling and researching ways to try and keap the six speed but it doesnt look like its gonna happen..damn awd

 

Swap it into a G35x.

 

i thought bout that but i like the z styling more so i considered doing the all wheel drive conversion but i still dont think it would work cause of the complexity of skyline's all wheel drive system..plus tahts a whole lot more cash... do you know if i use an ls motor the 6 speed will still be functional.. sorry ive researched the rx-7 conversion but not the z.

 

You would be switching to a T-56 6 speed.

 

wuts an lsx? a chevy ls motor?

edit: nm dumb question

 

i own a ls1 block. how much do u think it would be to swap it into the z?

 

yeah i know it would be the tremec i was wondering if it would fit... oh and yes the lsx is a chevy block

 

how much does it cost the rb26 swap, and the engine itself?

 

my friend found an engine with tranny and turbos for like 4500 +shipping

 

Where can I learn more about these?

HEll you could by the whole R32 for that now. Hows this the VQ30 DET for teh win ( not the old z32 but the gloriya/ laurel engine) sell the rb to a fan boy and still pocket some cash. New pistons and rods and your there for 600hp. It comes with the piston coolers just like the RB and its already a turbo. The 3 liter that can. You could do a big single or a tt and be finnished. With the big single space might be a pain. But you could still build a tt 3.o for less than 10g and not mess up the car.

Still supports the Z trannie and harness. Comes with a fuel return and your Z intake will fit. Dosnt have the VVT but who needs it if you go after market ecu and the heads flow as good as ported N/A heads.
