Why are they singling out the Z like it's got a completely different set up than any other car out there?

Because he wants to transplant an engine from a $35k wrecked GTR into his $35k 370Z. That's $70k in the hole without even having done the work or troubleshooted the multitude of problems that are ahead of him.

When he's done, he'll look back and wish he just bought a GTR. Unless it's done right. Then he'll look back and wonder why he paid more than a GTR costs.

Swapping a GTR motor into the Z is stupid. could it be done, yes, anything's possible with deep enough pockets. You won't be able to reuse the tranny though, since the GTR's is rear mounted and I don't want to think aobut the reengineeirng that would be needed to make that happen.

Cheap and reliable motor swap for more power: 370z w/ an LSxx motor and tranny dropped in.
