Should I sell my 250? I don't think I could get the $8800 for it. There's nothing wrong with the 250 but I just really want a sportcross and would ls swap it in the future. There's literally nothing cost effective you can do to a 250 to make it faster.

Always had a fascination with monster miatas. I disqualify myself from owing a miata as they're the queen of all gay little fagcars. Somehow that all changes with a swap. Now you have hp:lb ratios that rivals supercars, all in an often lighter package.
Fag car becomes sleeper, the contrast somehow makes it appealing.

It would be a blast to drive one, but I feel like being 2006+10, there are so many smaller turbocharged engines where you could strip the thing and keep it go kart light while still having 300HP+. The torks might not be there right away like the V8 but I doubt you would have to get on it much to break the thing loose from the asphalt.

Or turbocharge the V8 and chirp the tires shifting into 4th gear.

>>15613332
because dual exhaust wouldn't tuck into the chassis properly and drag on the ground all the time. A single 3in exhaust is plenty for a fairly mild LQ4.

I'll give you a tip; it was the lack of all the accesories

>>15615258
Yeah the 4 door ones are usually fairly cheap, as are most of the 2 wheel drive coupes especially with an automatic. Considering engine parts aren't available at US auto part stores or Nissan dealers I wouldn't be surprised if someone says "fuck it" and throws an ls1 in rather than wait for parts to ship from Japan.

>>15613297
So what sort of interesting and/or engine crazy swaps have you done kid? Shit you did in a video game doesn't count by the way.

Unless you're got an engineering team ready to fab a LOAD of shit for you or you're doing a RWD conversion you're not gonna be able to LS swap a GTR.

People have already LS-swapped the RWD GTS variants though.

>>15616258
I reckon it's no loss if they're doing it to NA RB20 models though something like a VQ swap would be cooler. Just jam the RB20 in something like a 240SX and boost it later.

Blame the Australians.

>>15616632
RB engines are heavy as fuck though, especially when compared to the LS V8's. There is such a thing as front/rear weight distribution.
A lot of drifters are ignoring the RBs and SR's and are instead swapping in LS engines since it leaved the weight balance very close to stock and you get all that glorious aftermarket support for the engine.

Those had LS4's stock. Not LS1's

>>15618786
the LS4 didn't come around until 2006. That picture was taken in 2000. It's an LS1. The car was a Chevrolet concept built by Jon Moss. It IS a 5.7L LS1. Look closely and you'll see the "5.7L" on the engine cover. It had a special adapter plate to allow the engine to bolt up to the FWD transaxle. That car was built before the 2004-2005 Supercharged Impala SS's, and uses the 2000-2005 Impala body style. All the factory LS4 Impala's used the 2006-2015 body style.
