A much easier engine to swap that would potentially harness a larger performance potential is the VH series V8's from the Q45 and Jspec 92-96 Leopard (same as J30 here), nissan cima and J-ferie The VH45DE being the largest at 4.5 liters makes 278hp/292tq respectively, while the smaller and higher strung VH41DE makes 270hp/278tq. Both are GREAT motors with plenty of potential and low end tq for days! This set up in a mildly stripped M30, with S13 rear suspension swapped would make a killer drift set up. I personally would acquire a 97+ VH41DE, have the ECU flashed and install a free flowing intake/exhaust and easily make 300whp. The motors rev very freely, Are cheap, have non siamesed ports unlike the 45 (better flow), aren’t as physically huge as the VH45, actually fit in the F31 shell with ease, and would sound WAY better then a VQ
