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

If you can get a Gtr engine in a juke, a Titan engine into a G35 then surely this is possible. You see 240z all the time with Rb engines. It's been a few years since the 370 and GTR have been out so I would have thought someone would have done this by now.

Hey Randy,

I don't think it's been done because of the expense, But I'm sure if you throw enough money at something it's possible.

I think most have opted to go FI, and I've heard rumors of an V8 swap though But not confirmed.

anything is possible when money isn't an issue

If one were to do this they should call up ams for their setup. That would be SICK!!! But most likely unrealistic.

I have never seen this done on any Z, ever

Rocket Bunny put a R35 drivetrain into a S14 and Nissan europe but one in a Juke but that's it

the cost to do it would most likely be through the roof. which is why no one has reportedly done it before, I mean when Nissan did the Juke-R they had to basically reconfigure everything while still maintaining everything about a GTR. in a much smaller SUV compact package...... the price for one if Nissan did it would (I would imagine) be up there around the Juke R price range ( 450 k or so)

Rocketbunny did it recently in a S13 180SX not sure if thats the one you're referring to or not. OP like others have said if you throw enough money at it anything is possible, but jusy because you can doesn't.mean you should. Just get a stroker kit and go TT or throw a stroked out titan V8 and TT that, either of the above will be much more cost effective, and may even have better performance if done right.

I've seen 3 300Z's in person with RB25's or RB26's ... but it's been years since I've seen that done. There's a guy here in town with a blue 300Z with an RB motor.

To do such thing would go deep into your pockets might as well just get a GT-R and call it a day. Anything is possible but for the right price. I would love to see it dont get me wrong.

Nissan did release a limited amount of 3.8L 370z's but they were japanese only. I dont think it included the turbo though.

From my memory(whic may be wrong)-Each GTR engine is built by hand and assembled by the same tech. Because of this, the transmission is built specifically to work with the particular motor for a single GTR. There's a variation between each GTR off the line in terms of hp and torque. For less money, and headache, you can get better hp than a GTR engine.

"each engine is hand built, and each one therefore is a little bit different"

I think I read it from the 2013 brochure while I was getting some work done at the dealership. Each car, built by hand, by one technician, for the entire build.

The technician probably drives Ferrari then......He see's too much of this car to get one for himself. Hell if I'd build them every day of my life, just to get in one to go home lol.

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.
