Ya know, I was just going to leave my contribution to this "thread" at agreeing with Joe, but I just remembered, this kid is the one that wanted to put a RB25de in a full size SUV and just posts up retarded threads in general like...........

I was planning on doing an m45 v8 & trans into a 1st gen Q45 (may still do it in the near future) but I stumbled across a rare 4x4 SUV with a dead ford motor (would have removed it anyways) but the truck is in excelent shape in and out... and I thought it would be interesting to swap an rb neo engine. A few concerns/questions i have are the lower torque issue cuz this is a heavy huge suv similar to the range rover. Also, can i use the skyline automatic transmission? Or should i use a different automatic trans like from an exterra? What work would be involved in both options? What transfer case can i use? Finally, what engine mods would be required to make the engine work in a heavy suv and possible some offroad use? thanks
Edit:
I'm starting to consider using a vq, vh, or vk engine instead since parts and trannies/stansfer cases are more easily available and installed. Plus those engines are aluminium and not heavy iron like the rb

But I do have very lightweight rims, custom lightweight body parts, and custom lightweight interior/wiring. I'm pretty sure I've saved 300lbs in total. I actaully wanted to swap the sr20 & manual transmission with an all new qr/cvt paddleshift transmission. Many of you will wonder why....well, I just wanna ok? Later on in the future I was considering an awd conversion...any of you know if any nissan awd systems bolt on to the 08' sentra cvt drivetrain? I know awd b13 swaps have been discussed before and it seems hard and expensive but oh well...I can dream. Anyway, I love my little car and how it handles.

I had big plans for the Q: body kit, dent repair, shaved, new grill/headlights, new paint, rims, v6 turbo swap, man i even dreamed about it. It was green with several dent and worn interior but the worse thing was the rotors and injectors. It sat in the garage for a month before work was to begin on it. However, at the same time i threw a rod in my g20 so i HAD to drive my limping Q in the meantime daily making it worse everytime. Basically, i had to give up both cars... Now i have a offroad modded Xterra and i wanna get back into a Q45.
My question is, which G50 should i get? 91-93 or 94-96? I like the sportier ride of the older car, how difficult is it to swap the older suspension/parts to the post-94 cars? I like the newer cars because of the extra amenities and they tend to be in better shape. That brings me to the next question... Should i work on a pristine car or a neglected one?
My plans this time are about the same exept i'd like to swap in the M45 v8 and transmission with a 2 year finish estimation. All opinions, suggestions, and criticisms are welcome.
Btw, I just thought i'd mention... I chose the M45 v8/trans because I like it alot better and I imagine it'd be more reliable in the end. I test drove a 2004 Q45 a year ago and liked it alot but still wanted the "aura" i felt with the G50 so that's why i wanna swap the newer v8 fyi.

And of course there is this thread.
This is either a 14 yr old troll or a 19 yr old retard who knows ZERO about cars and does nothing but beat off to import racer magazine. Either way, he contributes nothing to this forum and vote he get banned with the quickness.
