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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
