New Project!!

You should consider dropping in a small-block Chevy V-8 engine. Carroll Shelby put a 289 Ford in a Sunbeam Alpine and created the Tiger, so go for it!

Walk in to west coast customs dubai and ask them for a price, cut it in half and thats what it would cost you to do it.

Edit: avoid small block chevys like the plauge they are already swapped into fuckin everything so it will be as unique as a mustang

Go for it! I would like to see it done.

If the OP manages to pull this off he will have succeeded in butchering a perfectly good Z34 and his wallet (well maybe not, UAE doesn't worry about those things). However, I highly doubt unless you go the extra step and build the GT-R motor before install that the end result will be faster than a Stage II TT Z.

So OP, if you want to be different and by different I mean spending a lot of $ to lose to forced fed vq37's while trying to explain its a GT-R engine, well I'm sure you can pull it off.

Trying to swap a VR38 into the Z would be one thing, but an even more impressive idea would be to swap a complete GT-R AWD drivetrain into the Z. You make that happen, and I'll be in line for

Otherwise, it's not worth it. (If you could even make it work in the first place.)

Try reading up on the Juke-R it might give you an idea of how much work, time, and money it's going to take to do this type of project.
