Awesome stuff  :cool: :cool: :cool:

My mechanic is doing one of these ATM he has a 4l Lexus engine for it  :cool:

Cheers dude! That car has been posted on Zclub a couple times I think. Looks interesting!

Ah really have you got a link please?

I had a look but can't see it! I think it was just someone posting some images of the work! I know someone who stuck an E46 M3 engine in one too! Was an interesting build...think thats over on HybridZ.

Absolutely stunning work.

+1 drifting it when it's done?

Im not planning on fitting power steering so its not an ideal drift car. Nor with the geometry of the standard Z it was never meant to be a drifter and it has quite a short wheel base!

The best way to do that would be to modify the 200sx suspension set up to fit and run that - again its been done before but its not what im aiming for.

A few powerslides slightly uncontrolled are a must though lol...

I'd rather have a normal aspirated engine in this! No ECU, no turbos, no electronics to go wrong :)

Would be awesome though!
