    I was thinking about keeping them close to their heritage. That's why the Skyline was attractive. Back in 2004-2006 there were talks of putting this into the new GTR. They obviously decided against it however, that doesn't mean we can't try.

    If you ever get this to work, I'd love to learn more about this swap. I've been looking at Judd Racing for their V8 for my G35 but this would be a much better choice, to keep it in the family.

    Not a problem. I will keep this thread updated as much as I can and share whatever I can.

    I vote R32. A shell isn't really that expensive and a rwd v8 Skyline sounds pretty awesome.

    I would advise against putting it in a Skyline. The Government is tracking down all the ones without a MOTORex approved and vin'd R33's and seizing them.

    Motorex R33's are going for 50k+

    Not really. Still gathering the proper software and parts. This also took a back seat to another project. However, every time I go to a car show I always think about which chassis would this go into. I keep going back to an old rat rod truck or something. I think it would be funny to fire up an old car like that and hear an Indy motor sing. lol

    My questions is why even change them from methanol? It can be had and would make it that much more appealing. I would think its safe to say that whatever platform it is installed into, its not going to be a daily driver, right? Dont fix what isnt broken.

    I know honda people aren't going to like it but put that in a NSX. Light body just under powered. This would solve that problem.

    Update on these...it's been a while.

    I'm having supports made and turning one into a coffee table for a man cave.

    The other one is getting rebuilt, detuned (a little) and turning into a pump gas motor for a hotrod.

    I wanted to approach a GTR race shop and see if they are interested in procuring one of these. Would be cool to get this back into an Nissan/Infinity.

    Will update with pictures of the table earlier than the rod since it will be completed first.

    Hope everyone is well!

    I know there's a good joke here, i just can't find it (something along the lines of a table making more hp a civic or something)

    Any update on this? I have a long term project that had a Nissan V8 in it, but I decided to sell the motor and do something really special. If you're still not sure what to do with the third engine, I could make you a handsome offer for sure!

    He hasn't logged in since March... Might wanna try emailing him through the email link on his profile. Dunno if that's active or not either, but it might be better than waiting here for an answer.
