New Project!!
 

I am planning to insatall the R35 engine into my 370z.

did anyone now am i going to find any problem in installing the engine?

and dose it fit or no?

IBTL oh. and :pics:

IBTL! Be ready to open your checkbook.. Why not just TT your car as is? 500whp not enough?

Why didn't you just buy a gtr instead? Between the money you already spent on purchasing the 370z and now trying to install a gtr engine I'd say that u were better off getting a gtr instead, and even if you do manage to get the gtr engine in the z it won't perform as good as the gtr would

I was going to say that this is a stupid idea, but then I realized that you are located in Dubai, which means you are probably balling out of control and can afford to do crazy **** like this.

I know that i can install TT and get that HP, i would like to do something different. :driving: i calculate the cost and find that the R35 engine will cost me more and the different will be $4000 more without installing the both..

paying that amount of money to get something unusual is ok to me :P

i search for a strocker engine fot the Z in GTM site i find that all the engines are R35 engines so i plan to install the engine into my Z and copping the Juke Idea.

hahaha

i didnt say that am going to install the engine, but i am going to do it when ill make sure that everything will fix and the engine will run with no problems.

i find the R35 engine for sale and the price was $9500 so the price is close to the TT kit.

You will have to install more than an engine to make this project work

like what?

9500 isn't cheaper than tt, cuz u will have to fix the transmition and gear and tune as well as loads of parts but I'm not the mechanic expert others pls chime in as well

If you can even find a GT-R engine, expect it to cost almost $20,000 USD. You will need custom engine mounts, bellhousing (or adapter), driveshaft, transmission mounts, cooling system, ECU setup, as well as modification to the Z's chassis to accommodate the turbos, manifolds etc from the VR38. Bottom line, don't bother.

:iagree:
I get that money (20,000) and build a bad *** Z! I can beat the gtr so easily. Without any bother or headache.

I got an idea! Use a Juke instead! ...YES!

LMAO! I was about to say the same thing. :bowrofl:

Bro, I don't know how you're going to pull it off, but if you got the bread, don't let anybody talk you out of wanting to do something unique/crazy. We're gonna need pics and vids of the whole process, though.

You should consider dropping in a small-block Chevy V-8 engine. Carroll Shelby put a 289 Ford in a Sunbeam Alpine and created the Tiger, so go for it!

:icon18:

Walk in to west coast customs dubai and ask them for a price, cut it in half and thats what it would cost you to do it.

Edit: avoid small block chevys like the plauge they are already swapped into fuckin everything so it will be as unique as a mustang

Go for it! I would like to see it done.

If the OP manages to pull this off he will have succeeded in butchering a perfectly good Z34 and his wallet (well maybe not, UAE doesn't worry about those things). However, I highly doubt unless you go the extra step and build the GT-R motor before install that the end result will be faster than a Stage II TT Z.

So OP, if you want to be different and by different I mean spending a lot of $ to lose to forced fed vq37's while trying to explain its a GT-R engine, well I'm sure you can pull it off.

Trying to swap a VR38 into the Z would be one thing, but an even more impressive idea would be to swap a complete GT-R AWD drivetrain into the Z. You make that happen, and I'll be in line for :pics: Otherwise, it's not worth it. (If you could even make it work in the first place.)

Try reading up on the Juke-R it might give you an idea of how much work, time, and money it's going to take to do this type of project.
