Will the motor fit with slight modification or is it a major engine swap?

Its never been done to my knowledge. It would cost a arm and leg no matter how you look at it. VQ37 seems to bee a good engine too. Money wise it would not make sense to put gtr motor in the Z, it would be nice though!

it would be cheaper to buy a 2012 gtr, do the standard upgrades, and then it would mop the floor with your 4wheel drive z once again. Just a z and the transmission from the gtr, no engine no labor no custom machined parts, no tuning, no wiring, is already 50,000 if you can even find the transmission

How is it the same beast? It becomes a mutant 370. Sure, its the same motor and running gear, but how can you say its the same beast? I highly doubt the Z would be a great car with the jacked up balance and power. The GTR is incredible because it was designed that way. In my opinion, that greatness is not transferable

I keep hearing how expensive it is to do an engine swap, but when I was stationed I. japan the big thing I saw at the Tokyo auto salon was skyline engine transplanted into Silvias.

It will work if you have the funds, but then again I would just buy a GTR

I've never changed my own oil. But that's not the point. Engine swaps have been done for ever. Why are people saying it's too expensive for the Z if no one has done yet ( I'm not just talking about the GTR engine either). Why are they singling out the Z like it's got a completely different set up than any other car out there?
