Will a gtr motor swap into the 370?

pyrrhus17

I love my Z but I think a Z with a GTR engine would be even better .Even if it was a detuned version it would be better ,No over heating ,instant challenge to all V8 pony cars , shared platform would be good for parts, lot more room for tuning .Yes the electronic make the GTR what it is but the engine is 50% of that equation IMHO.A two wheel sports car version while the same platform would have been great .|Very different cars to drive both very fun with all the benifits of the GTR V6

Those Pike's Peak cars run some of the craziest aero add-ons. All very functional.

Suzuki Escudo:



Some of you guys might remember how badass that car was in Gran Turismo 2

Yes I do remember! It was also good in GT3 and GT4 too. It was my fav because of how ridiculously fast it was and because it could do a wheelie while going 1000+ mph

Even if you got the wrecked GTR for free, I wouldn't suggest you violate your new 370z.

You may need a good German Engineer to brainstorm on this one. You should ask Chris what he thinks about it.

GT-R R35 Plenum Test Fitment on my VQ37HR


Personally I'd buy a GTR or an R8. If I spent that much money, I don't wanna have to pop the hood and explain. I'd rather see jaws drop as I drive past.

Not to mention you can never recoup that money. It wouldn't sell for as much as a used GTR even tho it costs more.

.... And wow what if a TT 370 smokes you after its all finished? Hahaha

Believe me i'm no swap hater i'm hoping to get the engine for my vk56 project within a month or two here but the vr38 and awd drive setup is a different story. Its not about the swap car this time its about the motor when your talking a driveline that costs north of 40,000 for the the engine,transmission,front axle and center tube(you'd almost have to buy a gtr to get all the pieces u'd need). thats 6 times the cost of an rb26 which can actually be bolted to a nissan bellhousing for a rwd transmission. there are wo things needed to do this passion and a HUGE checkbook. If someone says they want to spend a ridiculous amount to do this to z all the power to them a shop would put at least a 50,000 tag on the swap on top of a z if they can get the parts cheap you'd be talkin 10-15k labor easy. to make it nice your talkin bullit build level of cash here.

you guys are thinking about this all wrong. What you do is buy the wrecked gtr which hopefully it still drives and such make those repairs then take and have the body panels of the z and have a shop put them onto the GTR. Granted it will be a stretched z of sorts but then you have the best of both worlds. I have seen this done with a g35 that a shop did here in tampa that they molded the front and rear of a 350 to and even made it a wide body. but hey it is something different.
