New project motors..Infiniti Indy V8's inside.

[Evolunchbox]

Now I need to figure out what I am going to put them in? I welcome all suggestions. These are the 35A IRL VRH35ADE/612. I will be converting these from methanol to 93oct or E85. I would love to put one of these in something light weight or an start a rat rod project. I can't wait to spin these SOB's to 10,000RPM's. Let me know what you guys think.

[Sunkenkarma]

Put it in a S5 FC rx7, or an FB, God Knows it will fit =p., Whatever its in tho, will be a monster. GL with it.

[Genji-Sama]

I'm so jelly it's ridiculous . I say put it in an FC

[Sunkenkarma]

Bout time someone agreed with me about an FC =p.

[Franco Tirador]

how much do those things even cost???

put it in a miata or s13

[Catnip]

Put it in an RX3 or something cool.

[Sunkenkarma]

Put it in an RX3 or something cool.

An RX3 would be sick, but they are kinda pricey last time I checked XD, If hes down to spend the money, id say get an older RX3, if on a budget, gogo rx7 =-p

Quick question....how in the fuck do you come across one of those in the first place?

[Genji-Sama]

Change my vote 280z

EDIT: and yeah, how the fukk, did you come across this and what's a general price range on one

[Bacon]

The Focus would love to have one

Isn't this initially the same motor as the new McLaren MP4-12C?

[JDMDA_1.7]

civic!!! lol jkjkjkjkjk 280z would be nice!

[dilbeckskate]

I vote for Datsun 510
or ....... Mg Midget

[Evolunchbox]

I like the RX3, 510 and the 280Z idea. The old school platforms are great. Those are good ideas.

As far as how I got them, I have a close friend that works for some of the teams. These became available and are a rare find so I couldn't pass them up. I figured I would sort out what the hell I'm going to do with them afterwards....lol

Not sure about the McLaren question?

[Drummerboy]

I say 280z, g35 or S14. Don't want something SUPER light (miata) because with THAT much power, traction is going to be your weakest point.

[*Token]

O__O huge big nice clean mota i like!!!!!!

[Capt._Ron]

those being methanol motors they must be little a bit older, indy runs on basically 100% ethanol now it think. Seems like a cool idea I just wonder what the maintenance on them will be....
Nevermind....i bet most guys would be happy to get 500 miles of hard driving out of their heavily modified motors LOL.

my god. that is going to be a beast.

^^This x2. Makes no damn sense and yet i cant wait!!!!!

I thought it would be a really trick motor to have or build something around. There are NO more of these motors being made or around and the value has only gone up. If anything else it will be a great investment or a really cool coffee table.

lol sounds like a Win Win situation 2 me.

[UpSideDownDesi]

S2000 would fit it right and you would def enjoy the motor melody coming from it while hartop/top down.

I'm not a S2K kind of person. But you have the right idea of wanting to hear that thing sing! Thanks for the input!

[CHADbee]

i vote for E30 M3, 240-280Z, 510 or my personal choice....which would be a RX7 FD

[Got Milk?]

wtf do u do? I wanna do it...... selling cocaine? Have a lot of Cuban friends, whats up?

he is a doctor...the one your wife/girlfriend goes to....

[JITB]

I would suggest something that can handle the motor at its best! The older cars are good, but it comes to a point when it may be too much for such a light car, and you wont be able to enjoy the motor the way it needs to be!

RX7 FC/FD
RX8
300ZX Z32
350Z
S13/14/15
Skyline chassis

either way its gonna be bad ass! lol

[Evolunchbox]

ISkyline chassis

You might be on to something. From what I understand though, it would have to be a R33 or R35. Wouldn't want to destroy a R35...let me rephrase that, I don't have the balls to do it..lol

he is a doctor...the one your wife/girlfriend goes to....

LMAO!

LMAO!

i havent read into the whole skyline thing with the government, but id hate for them to come and claim that skyline with this motor in it! 350z maybe a good medium!

[slostang]

The ballerness of this thread has rendered me speechless.

[2turbo4u]

Mk II Supra

[Catnip]

Honestly, finding a 350z with a blown motor would be great for one of these. Great style, sporty, and in need of some real power...

[og_dsm]

I say put it in an e30.

[CHADbee]

if you put it in a toyota/nissan/mazda ill come shoot it for modified magazine....assuming you will have nice suspension/wheels/brakes/paint/interior as well.....which i know you will lol

[DeeAOne]

I hate being poor. This is so awesome. lol

I dont really have an idea as to what to put it in. maybe S14..

[nsany(atl)]

I hope you have the $100,000 PI Data system to get it to run

[WhiteAccord]

I hope you have the $100,000 PI Data system to get it to run

Money isnt a problem for Nick. Im sure whatever means that are required he probably get his hands on it.

Porsche 944?

[Evolunchbox]

I don't think I'm going to need it. For data acquisition the Motec, AEM, etc should work fine... we are working on all of this. Good point though!

I say keep it in the family, drop it in a 280z or a Kouki.

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.
