[racer98]

Some ITb;s would be nice for later down the road .


Very very very very cool !

[jaja]

nice 1 piece driveshaft...

[drifting_changed_mylife]

thats the sickes thing iv seen in a while bro! awsome work! u are nuts! what the stock hp on one of them things??

[gsracer]

Fixed the pass side header, now it doesnt hit the starter anymore and clears everything else.

[pr0ject TRUENO]

VERY good work. hahah nice with the cut out rad support....i did the same. makes things 10x easier in terms of swapping in the entire engine assembly.

[Gaelen]

just amazing man
can't wait to see this thing run...it will be sweet

[twofourzerosx]

i spot a cell phone

nice work man. welding the rad. support back in?

[JDS Performance]

looking good - a thought though - You will have to pull the header to remove the starter and or tranny - That would suck if you were had to do it quick like - like at the track or where ever. But it looks like there is no way around that.

[ms!3]

looking sick. cant wait to see more updates.

[gsracer]

Got the clutch in today,

Its a z1 motorsports single disc should be good till 500lb/tq.

It all lined up fine, z32 pilot bearing even fit into the vh crank perfect.

Now if it would stop raining id put this f*cker in.

[nlzmo400r]

nice! Cant wait till you get her on the road, should be shit-tons-O-fun

[atutt]

I mean the best by when I say, this is stupid (but in a really really good way). Definately one of the more original swaps. Mad props to you for taking on such sweet engine swap project.

[sikkk240]

this is an amazing build.
im really looking forward to seeing this thing run.
but are you going to do about engine management, and wiring?

[gsracer]

Im using the stock ecu and wiring which i already converted to work with the chassis.

[DJButton]

This makes me want a Q even more then I already do! So nice in an S chassis though, looks great man!

[SicBastard]

Shit man if that trans adapter had been available maybe I woulda gone this route instead of the LSX! Love the red wrinkle too! Mad props on the headers too.

If you plan on doing any road racing you might want to consider installing two electric water pumps. You never did mention why you ditched the original?

[wannabe_drifter]

A video of it running would be nice
I'd really like to hear the sound of that thing reving

[tiresmokes13]

This is fucking AWESOME . Mad respect to you buddy. Cant wait to see how it runs.

[gsracer]

Its been rainging all day for the 5th day in a row.

Just getting little odds and ends with the valve covers and the headers done.

Wrapped them today. Tie raps are just to hold them in place because i ran out of hose clamps, and safety wire. Now me nor my passengers will burn there feet by the floorboard.

[MrHolister]

Wow. I'm still in the baby stages of my VH swap...I hate to say I'm gonna copy a lot of your ideas...but I guess they say imitation is the greatest form of flatery. Nicely done sir....NICEly done.

[bardabe]

are you going to get the Head flange Milled in case of any warping. just so it sits perfectly flush with the head?

other than that it looks wonder full.

[sikkk240]

any updates?

[gsracer]

not till thursday

[gsracer]

Engine is in for the last time, it will not be coming out again, hahahaha it is on the mounts, tranny is installed on the mount, headers are bolted up, everything is good to go just have to button some little odds and ends and should be almost done.

Awesome man, this is exciting!!!

[DrEaM MaKeR]

that thing looks wicked

if it runs as good as it looks it's going to be sick

[ch1873857]

uncle came over who is a retired nissan tech and tripped over this massive v8 in my garage. ooooo whats that?? he knew, he started shooting out all this shit about it. like keep your oil changed..those vtc gears (v-tak) run off oil pressure so if you run low or dont change it, they fuck them up real quick. he said it doesnt take much and when they go bad they tick, all the time. he said he had to rebuild one every week. just thought id let you know from one vh owner to another. good luck man. your about 99% further along than us and im damn jealous.

[gsracer]

Clutch lines, slave, etc are in clutch engages perfect, starter is on motor turns over but doesnt fire yet, still need a couple more parts should have by tommorow.

Heres the booster clearance, although in the picture it looks tight , you can stick your whole hand in between the booster and the valve cover.





This is the way i think im gonna sit the radiator





Shifter placement, feels perfect.

[puravida]

Very nice build. I'm impressed with your fabrication skills, really can't wait to see this moving in the future.!!!

[wannabe_drifter]

This is coming along great, really nice project
