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

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

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?

Yes, and all cars with an engine that didn't come factory I believe.
