“Did you know that if you own a car you can do whatever you want with it…” is anyone even mad about having such a cool engine in that car? 😂 and also it’s a quite original build, a breath of fresh air from the LS, 2JZ, RB swaps that are common these days. Nothing wrong with those, but it’s nice to see something more original for a change of pace.

[@masondegaulle5731]

I fully expected to see an RB or a JZ go into it, to see such a unique pairing and still all from the same stable, who could hate this?

Someone is definitely mad

[@huevigarage]

As a vh45de lover I always wanted the vk as the next step. Just a Nissan head with the oem plus vibes.

Turns out I can't do with my car what I want at all though- there are things I can do- but then I can't legally drive it.. and then there are a lot of things I am not even allowed to do in the first place.. like washing my car in my own driveway... or storing road unworthy cars on my private property...

[@Hartbreak1]

Imagine taking a ride you know well. One that topped out at 88HP when new... on a perfect day. Then just drop in 500HP and a really sweet six speed, oh and it doesn't mind 8k ripms. That would be the coolest experience ever.

There’s a lot of dollarydoos behind this build!

[@Hezath]

This is a breath of fresh air. Wow. I don't know the owner, but was concerned it would cop some boring arse turbo whatever and auto combo that would make the car really uninteresting. But this is perfect. No inbreeding, retains the aspect of being a driver's car, just turns it up beyond 11. What a perfect project.

Being an ex Titan Owner, I will say the VK sounds amazing, and in the Titan Trucks here in the USA they haul ass stock. So imagine in this small car?? Very underrated engine, the Titan Truck as a whole is very underrated here in the USA. This is going to be an epic build. 👍😎

[@pheonixfps9248]

What a beautiful motor. Maybe the Kelly Supercar team has a dry sump from their old V8 nissan supercar

[@theskidfactory]

Nelson's race engines use a Dry sump, Were hoping to use a wet sump though.

[@terrybagatella3898]

I love love love this project. I can't wait to see the finished product. I'm sure there are a bunch of 'purists' that are annoyed at the choice of motor. Not me. It's not like it's a GTR. It's been kept pure in terms of the brand so that should soften the purists' annoyance factor a little at least. I will say that, whilst I was purchasing pistons anyway, I definitely would have upd the compression, if that was even possible. I'm sure 12.5:1 is still BP ultimate friendly but even 11.5:1 would have increased the torque. Still, apart from that tiny annoyance, perfect !!!

[@vtecsux1]

Can we just fast forward to the end product already!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@matthewsmith1292]

[@yeahnah6468]

[@ESPSJ]

I bought that Allied Performance projects cap, I really like it. A tip if anyone is struggling with sweat stains on caps (we've all been there 😅) use Sard soap and some kind of scrubber to agitate it with water as well obviously. Then rinse it off. It will remove sweat stains.

[@NISMOIZKING]

Same concept but in a s30z. Huge Nissan lover and all Nissan v8 are underrated

[@bigmattolly4910]

Hi guys love this new build. I see your thinking about going ke70 r and pinion. I used power ke70 rack into ra celica years ago with some parts from T3 in the states. You can buy an ae86 rack new from T3 FLOS in Ireland make new ones I have one so if you need some measurements please ask. I had a power assisted rack and found it ok but now I’ve moved over to EPS using 86GT / Subaru unit. It’s all basically new that’s why I did it. I run an S15 BC coilovers with camber/castor adjusters and R33Rotors with Wilwood 6Pots ( the dust boot ones) with radial mounted. The caster camber arms are adj T3 ones that work with Nissan stuff. Can’t wait to see more 👍
