Its Ready for a good clean now !

 

Just the start of a very long road for what I have in store....Its a very sad sight at the moment and pretty depressing :(

 

I've lost over 60kg of stuff that wont be going back on the car or getting replaced so far and it will be between 100-150kg lighter when finished...without sacrificing any of the interior or asthetics of the car.

 

 

Now you just need some of These too :)

And amongst other things, one of these:

Anything we can do to help just let us know mate :)

As far as engine's go, funnily enough I was about to bring a great one over...if you're looking later on down the line I can get very good, genuine low miler's ready to ship from Tokyo/Yokohama with one weeks notice ;)

Dave. Can I have your old ECU + Chip?

Thanks leigh...Im drooling..looks fantastic !! Will be in touch very shortly :D

 

Dave. Can I have your old ECU + Chip?

Sorry Si, already sold. Other bits for sale - see link in signature

Dave. Can I have your old ECU + Chip?

 

 

Sorry to hijack, but i have a good jwt ecu unit available for a manual tt?

 

;)

 

btw - good on you Dave, looks like its gonna be a great project!

hi dave you better put a move on to get it ready for sunday...

4.5 litre V8, Quad Cam, 32 valve, VVT.

Aluminium Block & heads.

 

Just over 300 stock, but Im looking to get a lot more than that out it with Individual Throttle bodys & custom intake, Dry sump, Modified heads, Cams, Manifolds, Standalone ECU Management......possibly overbored and raised compression.

 

There are some very high powered (1000hp+) turbo charged and supercharged conversions(I think there was/is a 2000hp supercharged one too) running around but Im looking to keep it NA.

 

Yep this is the lump used in the US and Euro Spec Nissan Patrol.

 

The yanks go for the Patrol version as its low compresion and turbo charge them. They are running 700bhp on stock internals. So not only is it lighter than the VG32DET its cheeper to get reliable big horses.

 

The Japs are now Drag racing 4X4's and there is a 2000+bhp Nissan Patrol running silly times with the VH45 lump.

 

Good luck Dave. If you doing this then I'm quite sure I'll be seeing you at Leons a fare bit.

I am so going to be putting one of those in a shorty for project number two.

 

I will NOT have any money for the next 10 years lol :D

Blimey, didn't realise there was this many interested.

Will be able to produce a 'kit' including mounts, manifolds, intakes etc to install if anyone wants one. It does all add up mind!! Dry sump system alone is probably ~£1.5k all told

And as said before, can supply the engine as well. Basically the whole package to anyone who wants to perform the conversion. :)

WOW !!

 

Just been looking up what I need for engine and transmission options for a VH45 and found John on Nico.

 

I can see me asking lots of questions and doing many searches over the next few months as I am wondering what to put my V8 into........possibly my driftcar, possibly a new driftcar, possibly a drift/pimp car !!!

 

Good to see there are people over here with some knowledge on these engines, I was getting concerned that all I read about was Yanks and Aussies !!!

 

Good job guys,

 

J.

have you actually got a dimensional drawing for the adapter plate for the gearbox?

 

i do have a good reason for it i promise;)
