370z with gtr engine swap. Has anyone done this yet?

The Juke-R cost $500,000 to buy when they offered a limited run, I believe. That's might give some idea of the work needed to make it work. Then again, they also fitted the transission and AWD system, but just engine would be insanely expensive. At that price, you could to a TT stroker setup and it'd cost less and put out more power. Then get a stage 4 transmission from GTM.

The reason for the high cost though with the Juke-R is not so much the work that has to be done, but because you have to buy 2 cars. You buy the GT-R & the Juke and they piece it all together with some other upgrades, so starting off you are already out the door 130k-ish before any work is done.

Are you going to be involved in the next Z's incarnation Randy.

Pretty cool when the current Z's designer wants to know the answer to this question...

Is it possible this could be the next Z's powerplant?

No way. The cost of the motor alone is at least $20k USD (versus $6k for a VQ37). They only have enough production capacity to hand built motors for the GT-R, which is low volume compared to the Z.
