look mate lets stay on the subject. from wot i have read is a VH41DE has a 56.4% weight distribution ratio in a 240sx. so a VH45DE cant be much more. back on subject, any reasons why not to put both these motors in a S14a or stagea. some VH or RB info would be appreciated. dirt cheap in the US atm.

just dont ask him to pull his shaft. some ppl get really weird about that on here. lolz

u madd, u jelly? V8 in a awd stag. didnt mean to get inito the old M35 vs C34 convo but since you metioned it, i have to be truthful to the ppl.

so it should, but how bout a 3.5 + T. thats my point, lets be crystal clear. and your fantastic point is?? thats a good photo of you mate. you should just be in your M35. lolski.

BUMP i vote bbq at chuckies place.

it does fit easily with minimal fabrication. do we have to have this conversation about, " you just cant substitute cubes." and do you really think your M35s are high powered- sif? very rarely do i see you guys forge your motors, running a heap of boost and waiting for detonation. lol, 3.5 manual n/a has much more potential than strapping on a big turbo, mani and injectors on your 2 tonne grandpa mobiles. (offense intended.)

killjoy. lol. as if this is gonna be a standard build. the long run potential with a VH45DET is much greater imo. aiming for around 600hp or more. a variation of this motor was highly developed for indy car in the US. havent seen many high power VQ motors unless supercharged. jus sayn.

fail. dont you mean N/A 3.5 from a M35? and even then it wouldnt produce the torque of a 3L or V8 unless you + T. fyi that is just a prototype pic from nissan. it came in rwd and awd configurations iirc.

these came in an awd Y32 cima, Q45 infinity and nissan atlas truck in the US. VH45DE: Forged steel crankshaft. - Forged steel connecting rods. - 6 Bolt main bearing caps with studs. - Full-length main bearing girdle. - Lightweight, floating pistons with molybdenum coating. - Sodium-filled exhaust valves. - Cross-flow cooling system. - Hydraulic lash adjusters. - Single-row silent timing chain. - Coil-on-plug ignition system. - Lifter buckets ride directly on cams to reduce friction. - Redline of 6900 rpm, Or 7400 RPM's with a modified ECU. - Compression ratio of 10.2 to 1. - Bore of 93 mm and stroke of 82.7 mm. - Dimensions: 890 mm(L) x 740 mm(W) x 725 mm(H). i was gonna throw one of these in the s14a, but am havn second thoughts after being my mates LS1 powered silvia. scary stuff lol. i brought this topic up last year. VH41DE retains VCT so is also a good consideration. any thoughts ppl? kgo...

it goes arrowtown to queenstown then to wanaka iirc. lol. me and the mrs found the road from queenstown to wanaka treacherous due to being in nz in december. therefore the mountain snow caps were melting and playing havoc on the roads into and out of that area with tour bus services. we headed on to frans josef to check out glaciers from my uncles plane which was awesome. I found the roads well signed and easier in the south island than the built up north. i was begging to be in the stagea by the end of the trip. it sounds like you really didnt do the whole sth island shell? you really missed out if you didnt do the drive from Lake tekapo to Mnt. Cook.

didnt realise you were in perth. getn rid of the ae86 mustv been tough. 3 grand in the hand is 3 grand in the hand though. imo get the rest & spend it wisely.

nah charles. but a endless bottle of rare breed was downed at leisure. lol @ your -4 reputation meter bro. ive come to the conclusion that xavier rudd is mother natures gift to humanity. concert was uber chilled and it was choice having a picnic dinner whilst watchn the sun set in freo with a few little creatures ales in hand. i really enjoyed "come let go" but "my missing" had to be song of the night. decent atmo, no long bar lines, no agro and even a smokers area. well organized event.

and other essential recreational drugs of interest. just a few quick snaps from our chalet near the walpole national park inlet. we went as far as peaceful bay, walpole, denmark, margaret river, yallingup and geograph bay in 5 days. was awesome. stag did well on the twisties. btw ppl, south western highway near pingerup is in shite condition, needs resealing. we bypassed Busso bcos of heaps of piggaz for Southbound festival. anyways, off to freo this arvo to chill out to xavier rudd, should be mellow as fark. which my head is sayn is a good thing. lol

looks like im stayn in margaret river for a few more nights now. thnx chuckie for the spare. i hope everyone in the stag section has a safe and awesome new year.

i hope evryone had a good xmas. im heading down south for a few days in the stagea. wot are ppl planning for new year?

nice. but with running that amount of boost and 400hp, your'e really pushing the stock internals to the limit. i would also recommend a 1.8mm head gasket.

i like challenges. im keen but away for a holiday stayn in beach villa dwn sth for a week, back after new years.

dont worry about chuckie. his bark is bigger than his bite. hows the dads GIO group A car going, if i have that correct? Ask duncan. lolz and those bigger problems are race car related i assume. deadlines to meet close to race day? it's good to hear the stagea is getn sorted.

For real. i would of been hella pissed off with proengines. Are you taking legal action? So that must be your track car in your avatar. got a mate deciding on turbos for his atm, probly a pair of 2560R-5's. Of course you must of heard about Powerchip. lmfao

its a good philosophy to live by. one of mine is, dont shit in your own nest. lol hows the sump adaptor issue going with proengines?

Good to hear your alright Cy. Dale, Chuckie, Duncan, Hugh, Nick and Brendan are still about on the forum. Someone's gotta appreciate this... genuine RX3 wagon. A mate of mine has a 13B bridgeport that does easy 9s. lol

hmm.. a bit strange in here now, damn you to hell duncan. did u plan this? lolz ps chuckie - we dont care cos we got mitchell johnson ftw. hopefully your gonna owe me fiddy and i can pick up mikes door sils. tfif. avagoodweekend ppls.

yaeh doin the same. Thx ruby.

Cricket sux. i already sorted it out with a mate - thx. U2 will be shite. imo Jay Z shouldve come with LP. lol

dont like it at all. this is bullshit ska. where you been? AWOL
