JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF ANY ONE HAS EVER THOUGHT OF PUTTING A V8 INTO A 32 GTS4 OR GTR. JUST CRUIOUS TO SEE IF IT COULD BE DONE OR WOULD IT COST TO MUCH WITH HEAPS OF CUSTOM WORK. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE COOL WITH THE LOOK OF THE 32 AND THE SOUND OF A V8

i went to a cruise a lil while back and there was a white r32 with a v8... so i can be done.. not sure how much it wil cost.. but it can be done.

Seen a white R33 with an LS1 over here in Perth, was built by a guy that went to jail for kiddy fiddling >_<

I also found this photo somewhere on this site.. pretty sure I saw the car at Motorvation this year.. RWD 32 4door I think.

you can make a v8 fit anything. i have seen a datsun 1200 ute with a 350 chev in it.

the length of the motor isn't the problem, its the width. there was a r33 with a v8 (i think lexus v8) at jamboree in qld this year. i think they are on this forum.

you could start with a gts instead of a gts-t, but then you would have to upgrade the diff and the brakes, but it may be cheaper to do it that way than buy a gts-t. you won't get the 4wd to work without huge money spent.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
