As some of you may or may not know, the 4.5l V8 was an option for the J in Japan. So I was just wondering if anyone has tried doing this transplant

Slightly prepped up 4.5 V8 + small blower =

The 4.5 liter was never and option in the J.

The 4.1 however was indeed possible. I have no seen it done.

But there is a crazy fellow who swapped a VH45DETT into a 300zx

i would like to see someone try this, its always great to see ppl trying things to their car before anyone else has tried it, or as far as we know, no one else has done. im kinda in the process of two things at the moment, they are minor things, yet ive never seen them done.

thats a right hand drive J, but i wouldnt doubt it being possible in the north american market, i have never seen a J with a V8 in north america, but since it is an option, then it might very well fit ......
