Afternoon team Z!

Been saving up for a solid TT setup for my Z (was looking at the GTM stage 2/3) and was recently asked a very logical question by a friend of mine (who owns a R35).

"Why not just drop a VR38 into it instead for about the same cost?"

Ithought about this and asked one of my certified mechanic friends this same question and he replied with

"Find out what jumper harness and conversion kit is required in its entirety. You know to make it work out of the box. I cant imagine the wiring being a direct fit but try and find out the steps in electrical compatibility and go from there."

So... thoughts? Comments? Is this even a good idea? Thanks team.
