Why not a 13Bt or even 20Bt. 13B is a bit shorter than LS1 (not sure on weights) so would have better weight ditribution, not to mention a heap more room to move. Only thing you have to watch here is the rotary's exhaust outlet down low on RHS can foul the steering rod-box-lines, although this can be overcome.

You wont match the LS1 torque curve for driveability though !

having been a rotary owner including a 350rwkw series 6 built by supposed best rotary guys around..... i would say its a bad idea...... rotary's are way cool.... but one one rule always stands true ---------->braaaaaaaap BANG

ahahaha, damn you beat me to it. i have a mate with a rx7. seems to be that you don't service them every few months (or 5000kms), you rebuild them, LOL. he once had to rebuild it after 6 months and it hadn't even been started.

A gun conversion is the VQ30DET into said skyline.

They go hard, all alloy, torque, modern stuff vvt etc.

Conversions have been done for a while now.

I am currently doing a conversion on a mates 180sx, VH45DE with a 300zx 5 speed.

dont do a v6 supercharge. you gotta be on some seroius drugs specaily to dump in a v6 from Holden ,single cam, push rod valves over 50 year old technology. ls2 makes say 300kw, 5.liter. a rb26, with less than half the capacity makes 206kw. do the maths

Really it's up to you whatever you decide. considering you can buy a LS6 in the box for under 4k now. turbocharged 8's are hard to beat in respect to torque and power. but really if your gonna run an 8 you wouldn't need to charge it either way unless your after some serious grunt.

would need some fabrication and alike to fit but if thats what you want....

personally i think the RB can provide ample enough for anything. if you want bigger torque and power i don't think much better value comes than buying a complete 25DET head and buying a good nick RB30 and switching the heads over. that's done in under a grand and leaves you with the same limits as a stock 25 + a bunch of extra torque. If you want to change turbo's etc it's preference.

but i don't see the point in putting a holden v6 in there, sorry.

I would personally go VH45DE because of the 6 bolt mains, the fact that it's still a Nissan, and the SOUND!

I can see the logic in going the Chev route though, really a V8 Skyline of any sort is going to make people go wtf!?

What about a 2JZ, thats a six!

myself personally would go either the VQ30-35-40 or LSx, whats a 2jz + 6-speed worth these days?, my guess is that it would still be more than a brand new crate 6.0 chev and 6-speed, plus you can use the standard ECU unlike the toyota so your saving 2k there already....the list of Pros for the LSx Swap is massive, espesially when you put prices next to each other.

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
