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. 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

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

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.

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

LMAO! I was about to say the same thing.

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.
