    I've got a 300ZXTT here. Pretty tidy thing too. And I'm starting to think about the VH45 conversion. Ultimately it would be a VH45 TT conversion, but VH45 NA would probably do. I've already done some searching, but still have a few questions :) And I realise they are probably very rough and open ended :)

    Has there been any already modded V8 Z's sold recently to get an idea of what they are worth? (Might just be cheaper/less stuffing around to buy one outright).

    Is there anyone that does a "drive in-drive out" conversion yet? Any idea on the costs?

    Has anyone seen a VH45 TT conversion yet?

    Have you looked in the tech section and rebuild? There was a guy on here about a year ago selling vh45 engine including loom and customised engine mounts to fit the zed cross-member and he had a bit of work done to it. He was asking for $5000 at the time, i am not sure if he is still selling it or what happened with that though

    There was a really nice one on carsales a few weeks ago selling for 12 grand I think. Its probably still for sale.

    If you're in or nearby Sydney (profile only says NSW) contact MRC dyno and performance. They have actually done this conversion for forum member Steven.

    A 4.5L turbo engine would be right on the limit for a Z32 going by the NCOP 3x multiplier for turbo engines. Do it :)

    That was probably me.... Look at my old dad, think I got my revised asking price whatever that was.

    If I had my time again and *had* to do a v8 conversion it would be ls1. If not, keep the tt ;)

    cammed 6 litre with a billet turbo and solid mounted with a electric cutout straight of the dump = Lyrsergic. It surges along on the cam rocking you back and forth in the seat.

    so awesome the butt hurt that thing put on trailer bitches at the drags :D

    oh and before you go swapping out the VG30DETT i believe its the fastest nissan motor used in a drag car. 6.4 seconds at the moment.

    a boosted 6 litre would be insane, i quite like the idea of a torque n/a v8 aswell though

    Yeah, there's one on there at the moment. It's the 4L V8 Toyota motor though.

    Those 1uzfe's aren't anything special. Vh is a much nicer motor. And makes more power.
