jerret125 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 WELL TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY, SINCE WINTER IS HERE AND IM PUTTING THE 240Z AWAY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS TO START A GROUND UP RESTO ON IT IVE BEEN WONDERING WHAT ENGINE TO PUT IN IT. WELL I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT. I WORK FOR AT A MERCEDES DEALER THAT HAPPENS TO HAVE NISSAN ALSO. WELL ABOUT A MONTH AGO A TITAN CAME IN WITH A ROD NOCKING. ONLY 5k. AND IT KNOCKING? WELL THEY DROVE IT WITH A MISFIRE THAT CAUSED THE CATS TO OVER HEAT CAUSING IT TO COME APART AND GO BACK INTO THE ENGINE. WELL IT WIPED OUT 3 ROD BEARINGS BUT EVERTHING ELSE LOOKS UN DAMAGED. SO TODAY AFTER SEEING THAT ENGINE SIT SO LONG I TALKED TO THE HEAD NIISAN TECH AND HE TOLD ME TO GET IT OUT OF THERE. SO I LOADED THAT VK56 INTO THE BACK OF MY JEEP AND HEADED HOME BEFORE THE HE CHANGE HI MIND. THE DEALER SHIP OWNER ALSO GAVE ME A 81 280ZX TURBO THAT BEEN BEHIND OUR SHOP FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS FOR FREE ALSO ALL I HAD TO DO WAS MAKE IT DISSAPEAR. BODY IS SUPER RUSTY BUT HAS ALOT OF GOOD PARTS. NOT A BAD WEEK FOR ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hey, with the stroke of luck going, you should apply for a job at a farrari dealership. Maybe score some killer part finds there too! I'm kinda on a roll myself, though not quite to the same extent. I got free tickets to the guitar show of a lifetime for free (guitar player magazine's hero hero awards 06'), and I got to meet joe satriani that night. And just the other night I got to see trans siberian orchestra for free, from BOX SEATS! After the show I got to talk to paul o'neil (the man who dream up the band to begin with and writes almost all the music) and he gave me some free merch and a silver dollor from 1899. Pretty random. I'm thinking about contacting steve vai for a record contract... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcer Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Are you going to swap the VK in to the 280? I'm here researching doing the same to my 280ZX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleh Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 ^ ill tell you from my experience with the VK56. dont buy an engine alone. look for a parts car. unless you plan on running a standalone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcer Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Alright. I don't want to jack the thread, so I'll ask my further questions through pm's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
