You could even take it a step further, and stroke the motor, this may yield perhaps a RB34? I don't think that has ever been done. But if your going to do that, I suppose you could just get a 2jz, and stroke it... there are truly many possibilities.
Actually thats popular in the arab countries but not with the s13s because they got the A31 "Altima" instead.

I can't wait to go over there again and this time hang around the car people this time I want to see if anybody has done the TB48 (nissan patrol engine) to the A chassis (which is a 4door s13 with a rb20 basically)

Nissan is the king over there with all the 120 degrees F in the summer and no speed limits its one of the few cars that can take the heat

Please do not place an American-made engine into a Japanese car.

Sure, V8s work fantastic and put out good numbers, but they are hopelessly lame.

This is the part where either (A) someone will understand exactly what I'm talking about (B) someone will have no clue what I'm talking about.

It's wrong. It's sacrilege. It's bastardization. And most of all, in my honest opinion, it's a lack of taste for the side of 240sxs/cars that I and many others see.
