Who cares if it's a Nismo. They're not that special.

OP, go for it!

I would like to see this done. There was a guy on here that tried to swap a VH45 engine and it took up pretty much the entire engine bay. The spark plugs were almost unreachable. Is the new M56 motor much smaller in size? I know it's got healthy hp & tq numbers, but the question is will it fit? I'm sure it will so this is just a question.

I know they are not special. But, have you seen the market value for a nismo vs a non-nismo :/

This is true, but OP already has the car. I guess he's in a tight spot.

I'd be curious to see if this could work. Doesn't the new engine have direct injection? Is that an issue when doing ECU tuning? I know it's a problem for the MazdaSpeed3 crowd, and the Lexus ISF crowd.

No pioneer here. Just another dead-end "Has anybody?" thread.

yeah but that's like saying the DE and the HR are the same motor, and they most certainly are not.

Comments like these usually come from ppl who don't have a Nismo. In the words of Jamie Kennedy "Dont be hatin!"

OP, would be curious if you could pull it off. Good luck.

^lol at davidv's 5 month rebuttle!!

from my perspective-itd be interesting. however the limitations that arise when trying to integrate all the newer nissan/infiniti motors seems to be a huge downfall. also the direct injection is a pos. the new vk56 is great, in the m. i cant sem to justify the cost of the swap vs an f/i kit that will yield more power and less of a headache. even an ls swap seems less of a hassle
