also the vk to de trans adapter is done already just need some more dowel pins and then get a vq35de flywheel and clutch so i can check the engagement of the friction disk and starter and make a block to use the vq starter mount to the trans.

That is going to be absolutely beautiful... Wish you nothing but an easy install!

Almost 5 years later and its finally coming together huh?

Well i started the first time in the 370 but the project floundered when it was at gtm so i ended up switch to doing the full NA build on the v6 which made 371rwhp and then sold that car chaned jobs settled down a bit and now im restarting with the 260z which is a pre smog year so it just makes more sense anyway.

Glad your project isnt totally dead, rusting away in some garage. I'll be excited to see it in the 260. You could get some badges made up that say 560z lol.

Let the dreams come alive!

Any updates on this?

Id love to see this happen. Ls swaps are everywhere. Who cares about the extra $...the cool factor makes up for that in my opinion

Nice work. I like the open wheel concept in the first photo :tup:

This is why I can never get anything done. To many projects

I'm still linking pics

Well that's the new frame to suit the rx8 and 350z suspension. Right now I'm welding it into the unibody and finishing up the trans adapter. Then it's on to floor, cage, and shocks

The engine is a hybrid of 3 different vk's and is going to cost a shitload. Ti rods, custom pistons, jwt cams, cnc heads, super light internals, and will be N/A. Estimated completion is several years from now lol

Between buying a house, the next phase on the 370, and this it's all a balancing act

Also it should be just under 2000lbs
