For those who don't know, that's a R32 RB26DETT, 280hp/280tq factory. And a RB25 RWD 5-speed next to it, since I can't use the AWD setup in my Z...
Stay tuned in the future for updates. :popcorn:

Well, it's not going in right away, I've gotta prep the car still for body work, I'd like to get the car blasted and primered before we do motor work, so there's no chance of dust getting into the motor and what not.
Then we do motor work, then we finish the painting process. It's a back and forth effort between the two, but it'll come out nice when done... whenever that is. Money is tight right now... :lol:

It's okay, he payed me in cash $650 to make me happy. I then found another bumper for $75. :rofl:

Would be a much better race if I can down there though. Boost has that compressed air advantage here.

Why? If I was going to go through the trouble of swapping in a Toyota motor it'd be a 2JZGTE. It'd be much easier infact in a Z, cause the turbos are on the other side and don't interfer with the steering shafty thing and shock tower. Not as tight a fit.
Still, a '26 is Nissan... so I'm keeping it Nissan. Even if it is a hassle shoe horning it in.

they do now, the first Zs had 280bhp. many cars have exceeded the argeement, but they were all listed as having 280bhp, despite that being very underrated of their true perfomance.

Hmm, doubtful the R32 motor is making that much, maybe a later R32... more likely if it was a R33/R34 motor.
We'll see when we get it in and running, and do a baseline dyno.:popcorn:

Sweet engine stiggy san!!!
It should be capable of massive power. One thing though, the only problem that i see with Rb26s is their weight so try and put it as far back as possible to limit its polar momentum in corners. You have a long engine bay so it should work.
Also why is everyone so shocked that a jap engine uses English? They use English fairly often in japan and even more the Romanji (Latin) alphabet.
PS. It would be awesome if you guys can come to utah, make sure to give me an poly a heads up.
