    think RB25 has been done before
    Why hesitate when you can accelerate???

    "shakes head"

    what is peoples obsession with stupid engine choices??

    im putting an eco tec v6 in my next sprinter on lpg with heavily retarded timing that will be sikker than AIDZ yo

    im sorry but please state your motive behind wanting to put a heavy nissan engine in your car?

    if it is for drift, it has been tried and by all account FAILED miserably, look up weight distribution and balance in the dictionary

    if it is for drag, yes would be effective, but then tell me how it is superior to the 1jz? and then u will do some research and realise 1jz is a MUCH MUCH better option!!

    if it is for show, cross breeding is ugly!!!!!! you will get noticed, but for the wrong reasons!!

    have u considered costs etc? u know all the engine mounts etc are going to have to be custom, there will be LOTS of work!

    it has been proved 4age with ze bottom end and a turbo can make 220 rwkw reliably, any more than that and u start twisting chassis etc, how fast do u need to go?
    i feel sick!!!

    The RB25 in the ae86 was running flat 12's, that is not really that fast.
    If I had a choice of another engine, it would be a SR20.

    Cheers
