I just picked up an 1991 Infinity Q45, so I was thinking if i should go with the flow and do an S14 Sr20det swap, I have a apexi standalone for one, or do I go for th VH8 swap in my 240sx?

decide what you want out of your car, budget both and make a decision on your own.

It will be a track car and a Funday driver. The budget is not an issue, anything can be obtained in time.

Hell... You already got the VH. All you need now is time/materials and the know how. Why spend another $2000+ on another motor that probably needs rebuilding anyways?

I would have to rebuild the VH45de, and the mount kit is $1500 plus $800 for headers and more for the wiring swap too, so the cost is near the same

I love the C6 Corvettes and will eventually get myself one, but I'll have to agree with you on this one.

If you've got time and not worry about a budget, then build up the VH45. As much as I love SR's, it's been tried and done by nearly everyone.
