THat engine is way too big too put in that car , if it were up to me I wouldn't do it .
But then again it's a challenge but you have to take a few bits off to make it fit don't you ??

If I'm not right, then the Muscle Machines models are larger in scale than others. My RSX is huge in every way. You either need to find a big shoehorn or you might have to make some new panels...

[mike@af]

That engine is way too big. Are you sure they are the same scale?

[xpeed]

Yeah, even though muscle machine models are 1:18 scales, they're a bit bigger compared to stock models. You can try sanding the sides a bit, but that catepillar turbo will be in the way when you close the hood. LoL

What scale is that 350z and what scale is the muscle machine? If you have a 1/24 scale engine and 350z, im sure you can find some plastic model car turbos which would replace those super bulky turbos and tubing thats on that muscle machine engines.

oh god...they are the same scale...

but the muscle machine nacrs are way too big when compare with the rest!

[m3gtrdawg]

why dont you just cut off the pipes for the turbo put the engine in and make tubing that actually fits in the car.

[G-man422]

^ now theres an idea.

[SolidSnake2634]

yeah. i've started that. i already cut the pipes off. i might leave it as a single turbo instead. i also installed a jdm license plate and some new mirrors.
