Brent,

Congrats on the project and the best of luck to you with it.

Alex,

That Nissan is SICKLY. You ever see that clip from WinMX or Kazaa with the old black 240 with the Corvette motor in it. That car was laying it down on the freeway at 70MPH with no problems.

Ryan (I'm sorry but I think that's your name),

Yeah, I have a 240Z with a 280Z engine, and am well aware of the mod potential available for the early Z cars. I'd drop in an RB25DET, but my dad wants to keep the car as close to original as possible. It's already a mutant Z anyway (with major parts from a 260Z, 280Z, and 280ZX Turbo), so I don't see how a turbo engine would be any worse...

But ya, I haven't seen a 240Z with an LS1, but one of my dad's Z friends has a 240Z with a blown Chevy 350. It makes somewhere in the neighborhood of 600whp.

And yes, it can "lay it down" at 70mph.

BTW, I was looking at an engine bay from my friends S2000, I think an NSX motor would fit. Anyone thought about this, or would it be worth it?

If I sound idiotic, maybe I should stick to Nissan or Toyota; but my mind is always thinking too far ahead.

There's no gearbox that would mate with our engine and FR configuration.

??.. couldn't they transplant the engine to everything else??..
What I mean is that... I assume the engine setup between 350Z and Skyline is different enought that
putting the Skyline engine in the 350Z will be just as difficult to put it on any other car??

Just wondering..

I'm still waiting for the next GTR, to see what engine ends up in there. But I still miss the rb26.
