Use the search function. Its been covered before.

*crioten* · 07-30-2005, 10:31 AM

first off, do you know how to custom fab anything yourself? do you have a lot of money?

if you answered no to both of those, dont try it...

why? its way much cooler to have a stock car that works than a cool motor swap that cost you an assload of time and money that doesnt really work all that great

trsilvias13 · 07-30-2005, 12:10 PM

^^ agreed, unless this is a shop car or something to promote something or even a full track car, i would not attempt it. there is so much better choices.

if u want to be unique, i would choose something easier to work on than a v6 will make it hard to work on.

RB's easier.

chaS13hatch · 07-30-2005, 12:58 PM

yes....i have a full workshop to work with....this is going to be strictly track...and it will be a single turbo vg30, plus i already have a '95 motor and tranny to work with, and an extra pair of 300zx brakes...so back to my question; has it been done?

chaS13hatch · 07-30-2005, 12:59 PM

easier? I'd rather learn than do something easy

$D$ · 07-30-2005, 01:00 PM

yes. search. why not v8?

How about easier with better results.

Its been done quite a few times(the VG i mean).

chlatboy · 07-30-2005, 02:17 PM

You can also do a 2jz swap if you want.

Mervyn · 07-30-2005, 04:03 PM

search function, google, search engines, etc.

I'd rather learn something and place function over fashion... The effort is not worth the gain.

chaS13hatch · 07-31-2005, 10:21 PM

fuck the naysayers....once again! The car has a bigger bay than a z32 and you're all just scared....by the way texas jokes...NOT original.....we like boost here too, ill be back when this is done.

wootwoot · 07-31-2005, 10:39 PM

Track only car? if its anything but drag racing its a bad idea.

IES13 · 07-31-2005, 11:20 PM

Sounds good...but CA18DET, SR20DET even the RB20DET would be much easier.... good luck...

infinitexsound · 07-31-2005, 11:40 PM

if hes from texas doug should heavily infleunce him with his ideas....they have so much more potential
