Any updates???

[v8altima]

Update! the Murano subframe was salvaged . We modified the Dif mounts by raising them up. We also have the engine permanently mounted. I am currently having flanges made by a machine shop so we can make my intake manifold, I should have them in three weeks. Here are some pics:

Its been awhile but here's an update.... My good friend Dave Hary of http://www.Harysraceparts.com hooked me up with Kevin Thornton over at Extrudabody for a ITB setup..... Slowly but surely things are coming together....

[asoomal]

Who's doing the ECM programming?

[LongBeachCoupe]

I remember seeing this car way back... was it HIN NY 2009?
Keep up the good work!

[dasoupdude]

Definitely one of the most dedicated projects I've ever seen, (asides the sr20 350z) Keep it up!

So the whole project excluding engine and transmission is costing you how much, please exact figures, thanks.

[jbracy7]

Maybe this could help change nissans mind on a rwd platform,fingers crossed

[DrewH]

Yeah don't hold your breath on that one.

The latest update over on another forum has the GTR brakes and wheels mounted. The adapting brackets alone are works of art.

When you get the cxhance let me know how much of your money you took out pocket, I'm looking to do the same thing but not a VK56de swap!

If you have to ask you can't afford it.

Anyway to the one who seems to be jealous I just need this info inorder to summate the project, hopefully we could meet up some time to share stories on our build, but you are already ahead of me! I have been researching this for a short time now but I just need the details like what you've been displaying here. The last tip is outtah-pocket amount. So when you get the till let us know! Alright man and just to add you are doing the right stuff man! Lots of pictures is the key man bring on more when you get the chance!!

[DrewH]

I don't recall if he posted it or not but for all the latest...

Target, if you really want to have a discussion with him you're probably best off trying to contact him through email/facebook.

Whoah, easy there turbo. He was just being honest. This is the kind of project that you generally don't undertake unless the cash flow is pretty steady. Thus, his response of "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" was a real and valid response.

There are far too many variables. How much of the welding are you going to do? How much of the engine work are you going to do? How much fabrication experience do you have?

Having all the tools at hand and doing all the labor yourself I would venture a guess and say if done right you are looking at oh around $40k not counting the price of the car and any cosmetic enhancements. How far off am I v8a?

[Target500]

Thanks ya'll it all is in the works to be done by the mechanic not touching a thing only taking pictures. I appreciate the talk down, thanks

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Bump?

Updates

[NolimitZ32]

Last update on his website was Feb 7th 2013, I fear the worst.

[WDRacing]

He probably realized he could buy a C6 for half of the cost of this project and went that route...

[NolimitZ32]

^Haha or maybe a V8supercars altima.

[DrewH]

The car was parted out some time ago.
