Living it Gayton tho, that's another story. A mate had a NA zed, spent many, many thousands doing a vh45 conversion (and 2 years). Sounded awesome but was still slow. So he pulled that out and went vgTT. Cheaper and faster.

Captain Natro Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 That actually makes sense, but why not a more modern Nissan v8 engine?They don't lope around like cammed up LS's do. And the other reason was I just simply didn't want one, I don't know anything about the motors whereas info on ls building is plenty full and parts are cheap. And to me nothing sounds better than a big cube natro v8 screaming up near the redline or shaking around at idle :jizz: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/217/#findComment-7037825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came to a happy laps with us once and the thing sounded sooo tuff like an f1 v8 mix. So I was naturally a little hesitant of lining him up, but when play time was over and I got a run down the straight with him I had about 3 1/2 car lengths over the start finish line and mines dead stock apart from the exhaust and the built box Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/217/#findComment-7037840 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Natro Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 What about cost and time taken to make swap though? Took about 6 months start to finish which I didn't mind cause I was on my ps still anyway and I'd just blown up my gearbox so the car was just sitting there. Cost wise, it's only money... And the attention it gets and the "WTF is in that thing" reaction when people hear it fire up is just priceless.
