Re: What motor would you choose? To put in a Z car.

THANK YOU! I'm glad someone else understands the badassery that is the vh45de. Plus since it's still a nissan motor the car might not reject the heart-transplant lol.

a z32 trans can be mated to it with relative ease (there are existing adaptor plates on the market). not that the z32 trans is the strongest tranny but it isn't terrible

I've been thinking for a while of putting one in a DSM and making it RWD. Would need a decent tranny though.
