Battle Of The Imports

Post by SEEMYFTO »

Competitive much...? My husband has just bought two 300ZX's and has just informed me that he's able to put in a VH45 engine which is a four and half litre v8...
My question is, what engine could I put in my car to make it faster than his? Hahaha :lol:

You dont need to change the engine. Just choose a track with lots of corners.......

      Hey, I played against The Armidale School when I was in high school!

      Was a good trip. Our school played them in heaps of different sports. Took the bus ride all the way up there and I got sent off in rugby.. :roll:

      Twisties weren't as fun while in a bus with a bunch of rowers and footy players playing corners the whole way :facepalm:

      Anyway, back to topic...lol
      He's now found out that in order to put that engine or anything that the car didn't originally come out with ie twin turbo, a engineers report is compulsory which costs round $1000...is there truth to this? Does it also apply to fto's or all cars in general?
