George you the man! A bunch of us on the npclub.com board were doing our homeowrk to get a group buy on DET's happening...Now we pretty much know where we're going. Looks like Montreal will have a fleet of DET powered Nissans and 1 incredible G20.

A must read!!!!
Very thorough, detailed and informative. P10DET made sure that the article covered every base involved in the process. Even if you never plan on doing an engine swap, the article still has tons of useful stuff that applies to most p10 owners. Damn good job, P10DET!!!

Awsome article and nice pictures George! One question though, I noticed that no aftermarket motor mounts were mentioned. Will the stock mounts keep the DET from running away?

No aftermarket mounts in the car. In fact the ones I am using have 50k miles on them. I have no interest in stiff engine mounts in this car. I am trying to keep it quite civil. My goals have been a car with the feel of a good European tuner car. That means no vibrations in the cabin due to hard engine mounts. They work just fine for me, but then I'm not at all hard on the drivetrain. Don't mistake that for a granny driver, but I'm sensitive to the machine and don't abuse it. They would not be what you wantn for a serioius drag or track car, but I'm not interested in driving a boy-racer on the street. BTW, I'm really close to my goal for it. The coilovers are surprisingly smooth - only the worst bumps are really hard, and that's due to bottoming. If I can raise the front about 0.125 - 0.250" and/or get some Truechoice bumpstops on it, it should be really sweet. I get a bit more squeaking in the coachwork, but I should be able to hunt that down and stop it. I need to do something about swaybars. I've got a few things in mind.

Wouldn't 3" be better matched to a turbo application?

I didn't think that 3" would increase noise that much more though? However, I have to admit that I'm unfamiliar with turbo applications.

Very sweet setup.. Just wondering if you could provide a $$$$ amount on the cost. I would really like know how much $$$$ was involved. So I can start saving up.......
