Who says it cant be used on the street? Rta dont have to know ;). I would love to see this happen, so what it might not make a million kw, but it would still be cool in my books, and very unique.

Best of luck mate, hope you can make it happen.

God help us if hot rodders had the same negative attitude some people on here have. We wouldn't have any of the cars or products we have today. We'd still be bolting on an air filter & exhaust and thinking how hot we are.

Somebody, somewhere has to have a fresh idea and move forward to complete it. I would be very surprised if help couldn't be found from the Castlemaine Rod Shop or any experienced Hotrod shop. I remember when Peter at Advan Performance put a V8 into his GTR. They said it couldn't be done, crap. Ok, so he sold it before it was finished but he was pretty busy at the time. Making any engine fit is no problem with enough fabrication and if you have knowledge or friends or associates with knowledge then go forward, be the 1st, what a car it would be.

street, track, drag,

in the world of AWD cars its a little fuzzy

what i want, a car to race on the street,

currently i have finished subaru liberty GT

pumping out nearly 300KW at the wheels

its a very fast car and its so usable on the street,

and i can takedown some more powerful rear drive cars on the street (while they sit on the start line in a cloud of smoke)

i was thinking of making that more powerful until i found this skyline

now im inlove, i have to get it on the road, it deserves it

but i want it to be fast, 10sec passes if possible, (yes i know this is easy with a rb26)

but the larger the engine we use the less lag we will get,

RB26 is a GREAT engine, RB30s are great too but they can be hit or miss,

a VR38 will be reliable, it will be fast, it will be upgrade able

now ive been talking to the guy in Europe that has put the vr38 in his r32

he said it was a bitch, and i will lose the power steering and aircon,

he says it will be a drag car,

and we cant really argue, he has done it

it wont stop me from trying, but i will make me look into all this before we start

everything is possible, its just how much money we want to throw at it

If you really want to do something stupid put 2 4g63 or 4b11t engines and gearboxes in, one in the front, one in the back.

you sir are on another level

im brave but not that brave

but that would be a rocket,

i recently stripped and rebuilt a 4G engine, they are actually pretty cool

Honestly the only reason i ask is looking at the above R with the conversion there is a hell of a lot of modding to make it close to fit. One would think the legalities of getting it on the road would be horrible. They have cut half of the front end out.... Just depends if they did that for weight saving or because they had to.

Have you spoken to the appropriate people regarding the legalities of getting the thing registered?

Also you are talking about racing on the street, i would leave that part out on a public forum. We don't support that kind of stuff around here.

I understand you wan't little lagg and power. I understand you want to do something that no one has ever done. There are so many things to consider before locking into anything. The main two are obviously can it be done and is it legal when fitted.

Like i said i would love to see this be done, but keep looking into it man.

Yeah i wouldn't want to be risking that as to fit the engine i'd say you have to go past a point of no return...

You can't exactly weld back in everything and swap the motor over lol

Not to mention it will be pretty noticeable for the cops... Massive bonnet lol

so what im seeing here

laws of physics are against me, it wont fit

budget is against me, it will be expensive

government is against me, it prob wont be allowed on the road

and now its clear why no one has done it before,

lol

Could still do something different.

Twin turbo V8?

But really how much money/time do you really want to throw at it.

Edited by Anfanee

so would it make everyone happy if i throw some forged internals, cams, bigger turbo and got it tuned

is that what the worlds wants,

I think you will find the world will be OK no matter what you do.

the Ls1 fits.

But i wouldn't bother.

3.4L stroker kit. Small twins or single. Make good power, good response, and spend the extra cash of diffs. Job done.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
