    are you posessed????

    what are you building the car for....??
    thats a pretty crazy conversion... more trouble than its worth in my eyes u
    are better off with an sr and spend the extra money u save from making custom shit and spent it on the sr...

    its a lighter motor
    no cutting of firewall
    plenty of power


    im a purist and my opinion is dont wreck a hachi by doing a nissan conversion

    i dont want to start an arguement over all that shit with nissan and toyota either i am simply stating my opinion

    I agree with drift pig, the rb would make it a shit of a car to drive, too far foward weight balance plus a huge amount of work to fit it.

    Spillman, what you're suggesting is basically entirely custom, so the answer to all your questions above is custom.

    Custom engine mounts
    Custom gearbox crossmember
    Custom tailshaft

    Not particularly hard. But I also think that you'll end up with either a chopped firewall or a very front heavy car.

    yeah thats pretty radical man..

    i wouldnt advise it. the best thing about the sprinter is that its uber light and really well balanced. why spoil that by putting a giant engine in one end?

    there was some hachi getting around with an RB25 in it, green one i think, i sure went fast in a straight line alright, but didnt like the corners much. (from what i saw of it on the track)

    if you must go nissan, go SR as has been stated. relatively light, and plent of juice to get the sprinter going fast.

    also what are you building the car for? drag/drift/track?

    RB20 would be awesome for drag but not much else

    in my opinion anyway
    In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.
