Hey,In all seriousnessHow much $ are you willing to spend on your car??What chassis do you have?Is this going to be a Full out COMPETITION race car?What kind of racing do you want to do?If your not racing you must be smoking crack to want to spend Thousands of $$$ on buying a motor from japan directly.Then your going to have to ship it to the US.Plus your going to have to get a wire harness for a R34 and a N1 ECU.Which I'm sure will be Cheap.Then you need someone to wire it and install it. Oh but wait then you need a transmission.So i wouldn't stick a brand new N1 motor, with a dirty old RB25 transmission.I would go for the R34 LM RWD Trans.Good luck finding one, but since your on the phone and having pallets shipped from Nissan JP just buy one too.
Lets calculate:R34 N1 motor - No idea but a Supra 2JZ long block is about 6,000So lets guess the N1 Long Block is $8,000R34 LM RWD transmission- No idea $3,000N1 ECU- guessing $800Wire harness- $500Shipping for a 1,000lb pallet - ??? $2,000-----------------------------------------------------------Total so far- $14.300But wait you need a clutch, flywheel, manifolds, turbos, IC,Piping, DP, R34 SENSORS,rad, etc.......
Those are all US GuesstamitesEverything is more expensive over there plus the US dollar is weaker than the Yen.
Wait plus you gotta have some one wire it and install the motor too.
How much power does a N1 motor make anyway??Not as much as a Z-tune (500 + change)
