Get some 88 turbo front struts with the hubs, slide z32 disck on there and use z32 TT or R33 GTST (skyline) kalipers using a s13/14 barkeline kit desinged for the swap and voila. What do you mean by sliding? over the fronts ? ifso you might check out how old your tires are in the first place I doubbt a SBC will be cheaper than a VG30ET with MsS and a cheap EBay T4.. more fun yes.. but like stated before it is not easy by a long shot A VG can easely put out 300RWHP,

Love the documentation on this as im sure i will do this (with the twin turbo engine or the m50b25) and in a ZX but he the rest is the same

First of all welcome .. second of all.. SEARCH all that you ask can be found! There is no kit for a z31 swap but it wont be that hard (if you have access to a welder to fix some up). Actually i see sbc engine mounts that where meant for building into chassis on ebay all the time, and they provide a good base line. Your r200 will have no problem with you v8 whatsoever one of the member heres does wheel stands on one so i would not worry. Your drive shaft will have to made stock wont fit the input shaft of the gearbox or and wont be the right size. In my s130 it was as im using a t5 but the shaft diameter on the Chevy t5 is to big for the Nissan axle. then there is headers i have no clue what fits a z31 i want to make one remark being you might be better of buying or swapping in a turbo z31 engine.. a swap like this does take mechanical skills period! quick learner or not, this might be in over your head. Or you have to have a thick wallet and have most work done. Good luck keep us posted. ps Your name dokka, does it reffer to the norwegian village or Dokka Umarov the self-proclaimed Emir of the Russian North Caucasus. (just out of curiosity)

MOWHAHAHA now all do beamer engines in z's !!

Jup his name is Ad verkuilen, his stuff is to notch qaulity (so no cheap junk)Since it wasnt made by 5 yo chinese kids, its not cheap either. You can do business with him and his warrenty and service is fenomonal. www.va-motorsport.com

RAY JAY is not junk by far. the make turbos for aircraft, but the prize for rebuilt with nowadays turbo prizing might be steep... SO weher does the carb go here ? or the injectors for that matter? Looks neat! and time period.. i love it !

On an engine that size a 'lil' compression bumb can me a whole lot of HP

Actually ALL euro ZX's had oil coolers. And the ZXT's had diff coolers aswel 84's had trans and diff coolers!

how about just buying a GTR I agree with the tube frame adie, it would be the "easiest" way. Other than that ... here comse the famous one agian; 'with enough time and money anything can be made to fit into anything'

Not only you .. i noticed it followed by a nice loud rod knock ... after two laps and then agian after 20laps with another engine its the sweeping right handers on slicks (over 60 mph breaking from 140 mph) that kill your bearings FAST

Davy no problem i have that one on the engine now (it is the high rise right ?)

I did on a track car.. actually on track it was super .. since the steering becomes fairly haevy it is also sensitive.. for parking and that sort of stuff it is a work out!

There is a reason the lines in race cars are mostly hardlines under the car and steel braided on the parts where they need to flex a bit ...... And why the FIA demands it some classes ... If you change the lines keep hard lines under the car. and steel braide the rest

Amazing how such a simple engine still keeps you tied up in million loose ends ha (fuel lines, wires etc )... Looks sharp !!

Panda!!!

Looks cool .. and tricky as hell at that .. i guess im spoiled with so many tracks that have curb stones and 'litter'.. this looks like the ring.. so like a back road at speed

Whittie a lil topic hijack .. i demand more pictures of your car

Note what happens to the Red Holden? (Looks like an opel but not exactly) he either downshifts and is 'fishtailing' all the way through. How about turning in a bit later? Staying more left, you steer in way more early than i would much like the slomotion on this Mini at 2:38 its the same turn. a late Apex would give you benefits in this turn (especially comming out of it..) if it is a 180 degree turn. The whole pack you are in is driving a defensive line!Much like the picture below (i love google) Now dont get me wrong but you leave allot of track unused, so my advise use more of it! I find that 180degree sweepers are best taking with a late apex as it leaves room to weave out in the rest of turn, instead of fighting understeer. In most of your corners you choose the 'Geometric' Apex, It's very common for drivers to apex too early due to nerves about the approaching corner and eagerness as described in your previous post, to take the turn. The racing line apex in this corner is further round the corner than you expect. (This is where experience and track knowledge come in, but it seems you know your way around it fairly well) my advise Apex a bit later in some turns!! hope it helps.. though i dont know the track this is my advise to try and see what gives. it looks allot like one of the turns on the ring. Other than that you might try hurtling towards this corner, and you turn the wheel and find yourself ploughing straight on easing off the throttle (much like john said in braking more gentle) It will result in a forwards weight transfer which will increase the available grip at the front wheels. Hopefully this should correct your course. If you're already off the gas, then a light dab on the brakes should help. Anyway i learned a great deal from sitting next to a pro who was very gentle on brakes steering etc... haha what John said !

If seen that one active at SPA

wanna race my pigs ??? pretty shure the pig will blow the doors of your s30

Those are just sexy with the stance on the car

Any pictures of the turn, is it a steep rise? if the car has to much lift coming over the rise, it might help 'planting' your car first (much like i do with a couple of corners on the nurburgring)

ow really now that is intresting !
